Fantasy football mock draft 4.0 is for a 12-team, Full PPR Superflex league using the FantasyPros mock simulator. The three previous drafts from this summer can be viewed via the links below:
Round 1
1.01: Jonathan Taylor, IND RB
1.02: Josh Allen, BUF QB
1.03: Justin Herbert, LAC QB
1.04: Christian McCaffrey, CAR RB
1.05: Austin Ekeler, LAC RB
1.06: Dalvin Cook, MIN RB
1.07: Patrick Mahomes, KC QB
1.08: Derrick Henry, TEN RB
1.09: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB
1.10: Joe Burrow, CIN QB
1.11: Najee Harris, PIT RB
1.12: Joe Mixon, CIN RB
Thoughts: Allen gets the slight nod over Christian McCaffrey to give me the guy that’s the favorite the lead the league in fantasy points once again—especially with a long wait until my second-round selection.
Round 2
2.01: Justin Jefferson, MIN WR
2.02: Ja’Marr Chase, CIN WR
2.03: Cooper Kupp, LAR WR
2.04: Kyler Murray, ARI QB
2.05: Aaron Jones, GB RB
2.06: D’Andre Swift, DET RB
2.07: Leonard Fournette, TB RB
2.08: Travis Kelce, KC TE
2.09: Mark Andrews, BAL TE
2.10: Jalen Hurts, PHI QB
2.11: Davante Adams, LV WR
2.12: Saquon Barkley, NYG RB
Thoughts: I was torn between Adams or getting the stack with Stefon Diggs, but I went with the Silver and Black’s newest target in a full PPR league. The choice would have been Diggs if it were a best ball league or some other tournament format.
Round 3
3.01: Stefon Diggs, BUF WR
3.02: CeeDee Lamb, DAL WR
3.03: Kyle Pitts, ATL TE
3.04: Tom Brady, TB QB
3.05: Alvin Kamara, NO RB
3.06: Mike Evans, TB WR
3.07: Javonte Williams, DEN RB
3.08: Dak Prescott, DAL QB
3.09: Nick Chubb, CLE RB
3.10: Keenan Allen, LAC WR
3.11: Tee Higgins, CIN WR
3.12: Russell Wilson, DEN QB
Thoughts: Diggs was one pick away from being available, and I instead went with Lamb as another potential top-five option at wide receiver. Running back might be weak for me, but this is a strong foundation if I can hit there.
Round 4
4.01: A.J. Brown, PHI WR
4.02: Matthew Stafford, LAR QB
4.03: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB
4.04: Tyreek Hill, MIA WR
4.05: Kirk Cousins, MIN QB
4.06: Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
4.07: Deebo Samuel, SF WR
4.08: Michael Pittman Jr., IND WR
4.09: Diontae Johnson, PIT WR
4.10: Cam Akers, LAR RB
4.11: James Conner, ARI RB
4.12: Trey Lance, SF QB
Thoughts: I’m hoping for Derek Carr in Round 5 to stack with Davante Adams (which I had in the back of my mind selecting him in Round 2), so hopefully he’s available after getting my RB1 in Conner.
Round 5
5.01: Derek Carr, LV QB
5.02: Travis Etienne, JAX RB
5.03: D.J. Moore, CAR WR
5.04: Brandin Cooks, HOU WR
5.05: Tua Tagovailoa, MIA QB
5.06: Zach Wilson, NYJ QB
5.07: Jaylen Waddle, MIA WR
5.08: Terry McLaurin, WAS WR
5.09: Chase Edmonds, MIA RB
5.10: David Montgomery, CHI RB
5.11: Antonio Gibson, WAS RB
5.12: J.K. Dobbins, BAL RB
Thoughts: Carr going with the team before me picking back-to-back quarterbacks stings, but I’ll pivot by selecting a high-upside running back (with a solid PPR floor) in Etienne.
Round 6
6.01: Matt Ryan, IND QB
6.02: Justin Fields, CHI QB
6.03: Trevor Lawrence, JAX QB
6.04: George Kittle, SF TE
6.05: Chris Godwin, TB WR
6.06: Darren Waller, LV TE
6.07: Ryan Tannehill, TEN QB
6.08: Jameis Winston, NO QB
6.09: Daniel Jones, NYG QB
6.10: Elijah Mitchell, SF RB
6.11: DK Metcalf, SEA WR
6.12: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR
Thoughts: A huge quarterback run this round leaves limited options left, but I’m taking a chance that the team between me doesn’t go with another one after doubling up on the previous turnaround. Metcalf as a tremendous WR3 option.
Round 7
7.01: Mike Williams, LAC WR
7.02: Mac Jones, NE QB
7.03: Allen Robinson, LAR WR
7.04: Breece Hall, NYJ RB
7.05: Michael Thomas, NO WR
7.06: Marquise Brown, ARI WR
7.07: Elijah Moore, NYJ WR
7.08: Josh Jacobs, LV RB
7.09: Amari Cooper, CLE WR
7.10: JuJu Smith-Schuster, KC WR
7.11: Darnell Mooney, CHI WR
7.12: Hunter Renfrow, LV WR
Thoughts: I have a feeling the quarterbacks could all still be available for my next pick, but it’s not worth the risk of potentially needing to go with someone not guaranteed a starting job like Baker Mayfield or Marcus Mariota as my QB2. Entering Year 2, Jones should see an increase in numbers for New England.
Round 8
8.01: Russell Gage, TB WR
8.02: Jerry Jeudy, DEN WR
8.03: Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET WR
8.04: Miles Sanders, PHI RB
8.05: Adam Thielen, MIN WR
8.06: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR
8.07: Rashod Bateman, BAL WR
8.08: Gabriel Davis, BUF WR
8.09: Drake London, ATL WR
8.10: Damien Harris, NE RB
8.11: AJ Dillon, GB RB
8.12: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC RB
Thoughts: The roster doesn’t have a clear top-12 option at running back, but Dillon would certainly be that if Aaron Jones ever misses time. And he should again have standalone low-end RB2/FLEX value for 2022.
Round 9
9.01: DeVonta Smith, PHI WR
9.02: Jared Goff, DET QB
9.03: Allen Lazard, GB WR
9.04: Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL RB
9.05: Kareem Hunt, CLE RB
9.06: DeAndre Hopkins, ARI WR
9.07: James Cook, BUF RB
9.08: Robert Woods, TEN WR
9.09: Treylon Burks, TEN WR
9.10: Brandon Aiyuk, SF WR
9.11: Tony Pollard, DAL RB
9.12: Christian Kirk, JAX WR
Thoughts: Goff and Mac Jones is a strong mix-and-match pairing with Josh Allen, and I’m now set at quarterback with a solid QB2 every week to pair with the overall QB1.
Round 10
10.01: Jakobi Meyers, NE WR
10.02: Devin Singletary, BUF RB
10.03: Melvin Gordon, DEN RB
10.04: Ronald Jones II, KC RB
10.05: Garrett Wilson, NYJ WR
10.06: Skyy Moore, KC WR
10.07: Rashaad Penny, SEA RB
10.08: Bills, BUF D/ST
10.09: Carson Wentz, WAS QB
10.10: Dameon Pierce, HOU RB
10.11: Ken Walker III, SEA RB
10.12: Dalton Schultz, DAL TE
Thoughts: Walker going behind fellow rookie Dameon Pierce is a surprise, but I’ll take it as a strong FLEX option with high-end RB2 potential if Rashaad Penny goes down. Seattle’s offense seems to be undervalued in general this summer.
Round 11
11.01: Buccaneers, TB D/ST
11.02: Dallas Goedert, PHI TE
11.03: Michael Gallup, DAL WR
11.04: Tyler Boyd, CIN WR
11.05: Chris Olave, NO WR
11.06: T.J. Hockenson, DET TE
11.07: Michael Carter, NYJ RB
11.08: Jahan Dotson, WAS WR
11.09: Christian Watson, GB WR
11.10: Jarvis Landry, NO WR
11.11: Chase Claypool, PIT WR
11.12: Pat Freiermuth, PIT TE
Thoughts: Goedert is a home-run value in the double-digit rounds of any format, and the starting lineup—again, without a clear RB1—looks a lot stronger with him at tight end.
Round 12
12.01: Nyheim Hines, IND RB
12.02: Kadarius Toney, NYG WR
12.03: DeVante Parker, NE WR
12.04: J.D. McKissic, WAS RB
12.05: Tyler Allgeier, ATL RB
12.06: Deshaun Watson, CLE QB
12.07: Marcus Mariota, ATL QB
12.08: Davis Mills, HOU QB
12.09: Alexander Mattison, MIN RB
12.10: Raheem Mostert, MIA RB
12.11: Rondale Moore, ARI WR
12.12: Baker Mayfield, CAR QB
Thoughts: Moore should at least be a quality FLEX option to start the season with DeAndre Hopkins suspended, and he can certainly play himself into a substantial role all season if he makes enough of an impact.
Round 13
13.01: Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB
13.02: Jameson Williams, DET WR
13.03: Kenny Golladay, NYG WR
13.04: Marvin Jones, JAX WR
13.05: Darrell Henderson, LAR RB
13.06: Rachaad White, TB RB
13.07: D.J. Chark, DET WR
13.08: Zach Ertz, ARI TE
13.09: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, KC WR
13.10: Dawson Knox, BUF TE
13.11: Cole Kmet, CHI TE
13.12: Mitchell Trubisky, PIT QB
Thoughts: Williams is a candidate to stash with an IR designation as he recovers from a torn ACL, but he can pay dividends down the stretch as a potential stack with Jared Goff.
Round 14
14.01: Sony Michel, MIA RB
14.02: James Robinson, JAX RB
14.03: Jamaal Williams, DET RB
14.04: Geno Smith, SEA QB
14.05: Mark Ingram, NO RB
14.06: Darrel Williams, ARI RB
14.07: Kenneth Gainwell, PHI RB
14.08: Isaiah Spiller, LAC RB
14.09: Gus Edwards, BAL RB
14.10: Jacoby Brissett, CLE QB
14.11: Jimmy Garoppolo, SF QB
14.12: Khalil Herbert, CHI RB
Thoughts: With a draft taking place this far from the start of the season, it makes sense to take a shot on Garoppolo—especially with the investment I already have in the Seattle offense, as they’d seem to be a logical landing spot.
Round 15
15.01: Mike Gesicki, MIA TE
15.02: 49ers, SF D/ST
15.03: Jaguars, JAX D/ST
15.04: Patriots, NE D/ST
15.05: Tim Patrick, DEN WR
15.06: Chargers, LAC D/ST
15.07: Broncos, DEN D/ST
15.08: Colts, IND D/ST
15.09: Saints, NO D/ST
15.10: Packers, GB D/ST
15.11: Justin Tucker, BAL K
15.12: Evan McPherson, CIN K
Round 16
16.01: Chargers, LAC D/ST
16.02: Cowboys, DAL D/ST
16.03: Tyler Bass, BUF K
16.04: Matt Gay, LAR K
