This week’s draft using the FantasyPros mock simulator is for a 10-team, full PPR league. If you missed the first mock draft (12-team, 0.5 PPR), check it out here.
Round 1
1.01. Christian McCaffrey, CAR RB
1.02. Jonathan Taylor, IND RB
1.03. Cooper Kupp, LAR WR
1.04. Najee Harris, PIT RB
1.05. Austin Ekeler, LAC RB
1.06: Alvin Kamara, NO RB
1.07: Dalvin Cook, MIN RB
1.08: Aaron Jones, GB RB
1.09: Travis Kelce, KC TE
1.10: Derrick Henry, TEN RB
Thoughts: Coming off a “Triple Crown” in 2021, Kupp is certainly worth a selection in the top three of PPR leagues if you want to go with a wideout. Hopefully the Rams signing Allen Robinson will prevent opponents from keying on Kupp too much.
Round 2
2.01: Joe Mixon, CIN RB
2.02: Davante Adams, GB WR
2.03: Stefon Diggs, BUF WR
2.04: D’Andre Swift, DET RB
2.05: Justin Jefferson, MIN WR
2.06: Ja’Marr Chase, CIN WR
2.07: Nick Chubb, CLE RB
2.08: CeeDee Lamb, DAL WR
2.09: Leonard Fournette, TB RB
2.10: Mark Andrews, BAL TE
Thoughts: First, it’s a shock that Justin Jefferson fell all the way to No. 15 overall in a full PPR league. For my pick, Lamb gives me another potential high-end WR1, and this roster should have a distinct advantage every week at wide receiver.
Round 3
3.01: Tyreek Hill, MIA WR
3.02: Deebo Samuel, SF WR
3.03: Javonte Williams, DEN RB
3.04: Mike Evans, TB WR
3.05: Saquon Barkley, NYG RB
3.06: Keenan Allen, LAC WR
3.07: Kyle Pitts, ATL TE
3.08: A.J. Brown, PHI WR
3.09: Diontae Johnson, PIT WR
3.10: Tee Higgins, CIN WR
Thoughts: Williams as my RB1 in Round 3 is great value, and he could carry top-five upside if Melvin Gordon were to go down. He was given the slight edge over Saquon Barkley with less of an injury/durability concern.
Round 4
4.01: Michael Pittman Jr., IND WR
4.02: Cam Akers, LAR RB
4.03: James Conner, ARI RB
4.04: D.J. Moore, CAR WR
4.05: Breece Hall, NYJ RB
4.06: Brandin Cooks, HOU WR
4.07: Jaylen Waddle, MIA WR
4.08: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB
4.09: David Montgomery, CHI RB
4.10: Josh Allen, BUF QB
Thoughts: Elliott lasting this long—and still being labeled a “reach” by FantasyPros—is crazy, but his stock could rise in the coming weeks. Remember, the former No. 4 overall pick played with a torn PCL for much of last season.
Round 5
5.01: Antonio Gibson, WAS RB
5.02: Amari Cooper, CLE WR
5.03: Justin Herbert, LAC QB
5.04: Kyler Murray, ARI QB
5.05: DK Metcalf, SEA WR
5.06: Michael Thomas, NO WR
5.07: Terry McLaurin, WAS WR
5.08: Jerry Jeudy, DEN WR
5.09: Patrick Mahomes, KC QB
5.10: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR
Thoughts: Josh Allen went at the end of the last round, and I wanted to strike now to avoid potentially missing out on a high-end option. Herbert felt like a strong fit with the rest of my current roster.
Round 6
6.01: George Kittle, SF TE
6.02: Josh Jacobs, LV RB
6.03: T.J. Hockenson, DET TE
6.04: JuJu Smith-Schuster, KC WR
6.05: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB
6.06: Darren Waller, LV TE
6.07: Chris Godwin, TB WR
6.08: Mike Williams, LAC WR
6.09: Dallas Goedert, PHI TE
6.10: Darnell Mooney, CHI WR
Thoughts: A Chargers stack wasn’t planned, but Williams as my No. 3 wideout to pair with Herbert’s huge arm will make this a very dangerous starting lineup if I hit on the selection (or selections) at tight end.
Round 7
7.01: Marquise Brown, ARI WR
7.02: Jalen Hurts, PHI QB
7.03: Allen Robinson, LAR WR
7.04: Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET WR
7.05: Dak Prescott, DAL QB
7.06: DeAndre Hopkins, ARI WR
7.07: J.K. Dobbins, BAL RB
7.08: AJ Dillon, GB RB
7.09: Rashod Bateman, BAL WR
7.10: Joe Burrow, CIN QB
Thoughts: There are at least a handful of running backs I was considering for my RB3, but Robinson was the choice as a hedge for Kupp in the event of an injury; and he can certainly start alongside him.
Round 8
8.01: Travis Etienne, JAX RB
8.02: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC RB
8.03: Miles Sanders, PHI RB
8.04: Elijah Moore, NYJ WR
8.05: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR
8.06: Elijah Mitchell, SF RB
8.07: Hunter Renfrow, LV WR
8.08: Damien Harris, NE RB
8.09: DeVonta Smith, PHI WR
8.10: Kareem Hunt, CLE RB
Thoughts: I almost didn’t take Harris (because of full PPR format) and instead was going to go for double handcuff of Tony Pollard and Melvin Gordon. However, the value was too difficult to pass up with Harris coming off a 15-touchdown season.
Round 9
9.01: Adam Thielen, MIN WR
9.02: Drake London, ATL WR
9.03: Tony Pollard, DAL RB
9.04: Gabriel Davis, BUF WR
9.05: Ken Walker III, SEA RB
9.06: Treylon Burks, TEN WR
9.07: Trey Lance, SF QB
9.08: Garrett Wilson, NYJ WR
9.09: Chase Edmonds, MIA RB
9.10: Robert Woods, TEN WR
Thoughts: Pollard’s standalone value might be a little overinflated due to limited touchdown appeal with Zeke healthy, but he’s boosted in PPR leagues in addition to being a premium handcuff.
Round 10
10.01: Devin Singletary, BUF RB
10.02: Brandon Aiyuk, SF WR
10.03: Tom Brady, TB QB
10.04: Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL RB
10.05: Christian Kirk, JAX WR
10.06: Allen Lazard, GB WR
10.07: Kadarius Toney, NYG WR
10.08: Melvin Gordon, DEN RB
10.09: Rashaad Penny, SEA RB
10.10: Michael Carter, NYJ RB
Thoughts: It turns out that the double handcuff strategy ended up happening, and Gordon could get more work than expected in an offense led by former college teammate Russell Wilson.
Round 11
11.01: Chase Claypool, PIT WR
11.02: Russell Gage, TB WR
11.03: Russell Wilson, DEN QB
11.04: Dalton Schultz, DAL TE
11.05: James Cook, BUF RB
11.06: Raheem Mostert, MIA RB
11.07: Deshaun Watson, CLE QB
11.08: Matthew Stafford, LAR QB
11.09: Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB
11.10: Jakobi Meyers, NE WR
Thoughts: The aforementioned Wilson was simply a case of best player available, and one of my quarterbacks could easily be a trade piece depending on how the season starts out in general. We’ll see if a tight end I want lasts until Round 12.
Round 12
12.01: Zach Ertz, ARI TE
12.02: Ronald Jones II, KC RB
12.03: Dameon Pierce, HOU RB
12.04: Alexander Mattison, MIN RB
12.05: Michael Gallup, DAL RB
12.06: Cole Kmet, CHI TE
12.07: J.D. McKissic, WAS RB
12.08: Mike Gesicki, MIA TE
12.09: Pat Freiermuth, PIT TE
12.10: Nyheim Hines, IND RB
Thoughts: Gesicki should benefit from the coverage Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will draw on the perimeter, and hopefully new head coach Mike McDaniel has better luck using him in the red zone.
Round 13
13.01: DeVante Parker, NE WR
13.02: Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
13.03: Rondale Moore, ARI WR
13.04: James Robinson, JAX RB
13.05: Derek Carr, LV QB
13.06: David Njoku, CLE TE
13.07: Chris Olave, NO WR
13.08: Rob Gronkowski, FA TE
13.09: Kenny Golladay, NYG WR
13.10: Kirk Cousins, MIN QB
Thoughts: There is concern about Moore not being given enough of a chance to breakout with all the options for Arizona on offense, but the second-year weapon was recently talked up by Kliff Kingsbury. The ability is undoubtedly there for Moore to have increased downfield targets.
Round 14
14.01: Darrell Henderson, LAR RB
14.02: Tua Tagovailoa, MIA QB
14.03: Skyy Moore, KC WR
14.04: Albert Okwuegbunam, DEN TE
14.05: Gus Edwards, BAL RB
14.06: Tyler Boyd, CIN WR
14.07: James White, NE RB
14.08: Dawson Knox, BUF TE
14.09: Jamaal Williams, DET RB
14.10: Isaiah Spiller, LAC RB
Thoughts: Knox was in heavy consideration when I went with Gesicki, so getting an upside duo at tight end is a great way to finish off the roster before selecting a D/ST and kicker.
Round 15
15.01: Bills, BUF D/ST
15.02: Titans, TEN D/ST
15.03: Buccaneers, TB D/ST
15.04: 49ers, SF D/ST
15.05: Jaguars, JAX D/ST
15.06: Colts, IND D/ST
15.07: Cowboys, DAL D/ST
15.08: Saints, NO D/ST
15.09: Dolphins, MIA D/ST
15.10: Justin Tucker, BAL K
Round 16
16.01: Broncos, DEN D/ST
16.02: Tyler Bass, BUF K
16.03: Matt Gay, LAR K
16.04: Greg Zuerlein, NYJ K
16.05: Daniel Carlson, LV K
16.06: Tristan Vizcaino, NE K
16.07: Ryan Succop, TB K
16.08: Evan McPherson, CIN K
16.09: Jason Sanders, MIA K
16.10: Harrison Butker, KC K
