After alternating between 0.5 PPR and full PPR drafts, the final fantasy football mock draft before the calendar turns to August is for a standard (non-PPR) league. Previous mocks can be viewed at the links below:

Round 1

1.01: Christian McCaffrey, SF RB

1.02: Bijan Robinson, ATL RB

1.03: CeeDee Lamb, DAL WR

1.04: Tyreek Hill, MIA WR

1.05: Breece Hall, NYJ RB

1.06: Ja’Marr Chase, CIN WR

1.07: Justin Jefferson, MIN WR

1.08: Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET WR

1.09: A.J. Brown, PHI WR

1.10: Jahmyr Gibbs, DET RB

Thoughts: A standard league with CeeDee Lamb currently holding out gives the edge to Robinson here, but I’ll say that non-PPR formats make a late-round pick even better this year with a chance to get two elite running backs.

Round 2

2.01: Saquon Barkley, PHI RB

2.02: Garrett Wilson, NYJ WR

2.03: Jonathan Taylor, IND RB

2.04: Puka Nacua, LAR WR

2.05: Kyren Williams, LAR RB

2.06: Davante Adams, LV WR

2.07: Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI WR

2.08: Derrick Henry, BAL RB

2.09: De’Von Achane, MIA RB

2.10: Chris Olave, NO WR

Thoughts: I was between Achane or Travis Etienne Jr. here, and I went with a little bigger swing—though both obviously have major big-play and weekly upside.

Round 3

3.01: James Cook, BUF RB

3.02: Travis Etienne Jr., JAX RB

3.03: Deebo Samuel, SF WR

3.04: Rachaad White, TB RB

3.05: Josh Allen, BUF QB

3.06: Brandon Aiyuk, SF WR

3.07: Sam LaPorta, DET TE

3.08: Mike Evans, TB WR

3.09: Josh Jacobs, GB RB

3.10: Joe Mixon, HOU RB

Thoughts: I didn’t think Etienne would still be on the board despite just two picks happening, so my plan of getting a top-tier quarterback was changed to creating a powerhouse trio at running back.

Round 4

4.01: DK Metcalf, SEA WR

4.02: Isiah Pacheco, KC RB

4.03: Kenneth Walker III, SEA RB

4.04: Jalen Hurts, PHI QB

4.05: David Montgomery, DET RB

4.06: Drake London, ATL WR

4.07: James Conner, ARI RB

4.08: Nico Collins, HOU WR

4.09: Travis Kelce, KC TE

4.10: Mark Andrews, BAL TE

Thoughts: I want to come away with a Chiefs stack to complement my backfield, and the decision to take Kelce over Patrick Mahomes paid off with Mark Andrews going the following pick; now I need to sweat out one more pick.

Round 5

5.01: George Pickens, PIT WR

5.02: Patrick Mahomes, KC QB

5.03: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB

5.04: Zamir White, LV RB

5.05: Alvin Kamara, NO RB

5.06: Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB

5.07: Aaron Jones, MIN RB

5.08: Najee Harris, PIT RB

5.09: Raheem Mostert, MIA RB

5.10: Trey McBride, ARI TE

Thoughts: And the strategy went according to plan, as Mahomes—set to operate a more aggressive and explosive passing attack—was available, so this start in a standard league is tough to top.

Round 6

6.01: DeVonta Smith, PHI WR

6.02: Kyler Murray, ARI QB

6.03: C.J. Stroud, HOU QB

6.04: D’Andre Swift, CHI RB

6.05: George Kittle, SF TE

6.06: Zack Moss, CIN RB

6.07: Kyle Pitts, ATL TE

6.08: Tony Pollard, TEN RB

6.09: Jaylen Waddle, MIA WR

6.10: Calvin Ridley, TEN WR

Thoughts: Waddle gives me another important piece of the Miami offense to pair with De’Von Achane, and he brings an underrated floor in addition to a huge ceiling when he hits on a big play.

Round 7

7.01: Dak Prescott, DAL QB

7.02: Malik Nabers, NYG WR

7.03: DJ Moore, CHI WR

7.04: Brian Robinson Jr., WAS RB

7.05: Michael Pittman Jr., IND WR

7.06: Tank Dell, HOU WR

7.07: Stefon Diggs, HOU WR

7.08: Jonathon Brooks, CAR RB

7.09: Nick Chubb, CLE RB

7.10: Anthony Richardson, IND QB

Thoughts: I want to get more of the Kansas City passing attack, but I’m not going to reach to do it, so Nabers is the choice here with the expectation he will be featured by Brian Daboll and the Giants.

Round 8

8.01: Amari Cooper, CLE WR

8.02: Cooper Kupp, LAR WR

8.03: Gus Edwards, LAC RB

8.04: Jaylen Warren, PIT RB

8.05: Devin Singletary, NYG RB

8.06: Javonte Williams, DEN RB

8.07: Tee Higgins, CIN WR

8.08: Tyjae Spears, TEN RB

8.09: Rashee Rice, KC WR

8.10: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB

Thoughts: There are recent whispers that Rice might not face a suspension in 2024, in which case he’d be a steal at this point based on how he came on down the stretch as a rookie.

Round 9

9.01: Trey Benson, ARI RB

9.02: Zay Flowers, BAL WR

9.03: Christian Kirk, JAX WR

9.04: Austin Ekeler, WAS RB

9.05: Keenan Allen, CHI WR

9.06: Jayden Reed, GB WR

9.07: Jerome Ford, CLE RB

9.08: Terry McLaurin, WAS WR

9.09: Chase Brown, CIN RB

9.10: Christian Watson, GB WR

Thoughts: This is another spot where I could have stayed with the Chiefs’ offense by taking Marquise Brown, but Flowers is an obvious breakout candidate heading into Year 2.

Round 10

10.01: Blake Corum, LAR RB

10.02: Chris Godwin, TB WR

10.03: Diontae Johnson, CAR WR

10.04: Zach Charbonnet, SEA RB

10.05: Rico Dowdle, DAL RB

10.06: Marquise Brown, KC WR

10.07: Xavier Worthy, KC WR

10.08: DeAndre Hopkins, TEN WR

10.09: Jameson Williams, DET WR

10.10: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR

Thoughts: This is where I was hoping to get Marquise Brown, but Xavier Worthy going didn’t bother me because I’d rather have Williams—who has generated a ton of buzz for the Lions.

Round 11

11.01: Chuba Hubbard, CAR RB

11.02: Jordan Addison, MIN WR

11.03: Rome Odunze, CHI WR

11.04: Kendre Miller, NO RB

11.05: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA WR

11.06: Dalton Kincaid, BUF TE

11.07: Ladd McConkey, LAC WR

11.08: Keon Coleman, BUF WR

11.09: Brian Thomas Jr., JAX WR

11.10: Rashid Shaheed, NO WR

Thoughts: Addison falls in the same bucket as Rashee Rice in that he could be facing a suspension, but I’ll take the gamble in the double-digit rounds with the hopes that quarterback play is at least solid for Minnesota.

Round 12

12.01: Joe Burrow, CIN QB

12.02: Brandin Cooks, DAL WR

12.03: Mike Williams, NYJ WR

12.04: J.K. Dobbins, LAC RB

12.05: Ty Chandler, MIN RB

12.06: Curtis Samuel, BUF WR

12.07: Jordan Love, GB QB

12.08: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR

12.09: David Njoku, CLE TE

12.10: Jayden Daniels, WAS QB

Thoughts: Jayden Daniels was a considered here to get a valuable trade chip at quarterback, but Njoku gives me FLEX optionality and is a similarly strong value this late.

Round 13

13.01: Joshua Palmer, LAC WR

13.02: Jahan Dotson, WAS WR

13.03: Jake Ferguson, DAL TE

13.04: Brock Purdy, SF QB

13.05: Evan Engram, JAX TE

13.06: Jakobi Meyers, LV WR

13.07: Kimani Vidal, LAC RB

13.08: Brock Bowers, LV TE

13.09: Dallas Goedert, PHI TE

13.10: Jaleel McLaughlin, DEN RB

Thoughts: I’ve stayed at three running backs for the entire draft, but the value has been at wide receiver, so Dotson gives me another upside target that should bounce back in a new offense.

Round 14

14.01: MarShawn Lloyd, GB RB

14.02: Ray Davis, BUF RB

14.03: Khalil Herbert, CHI RB

14.04: Jerry Jeudy, CLE WR

14.05: Caleb Williams, CHI QB

14.06: Antonio Gibson, NE RB

14.07: Dalton Schultz, HOU TE

14.08: Tyler Allgeier, ATL RB

14.09: Roschon Johnson, CHI RB

14.10: Elijah Mitchell, SF RB

Thoughts: Johnson had the edge over a couple of other backup, handcuff types, as he could realistically carve out a big role if D’Andre Swift doesn’t live up to expectations with the Bears.

Round 15

15.01: Jets D/ST

15.02: Cowboys D/ST

15.03: Ravens D/ST

15.04: 49ers D/ST

15.05: Browns D/ST

15.06: Chiefs D/ST

15.07: Bills D/ST

15.08: Dolphins D/ST

15.09: Steelers D/ST

15.10: Eagles D/ST

Round 16

16.01: Justin Tucker, BAL K

16.02: Brandon Aubrey, DAL K

16.03: Harrison Butker, KC K

16.04: Jason Sanders, MIA K

16.05: Jake Moody, SF K

16.06: Ka’imi Fairbairn, HOU K

16.07: Tyler Bass, BUF K

16.08: Jake Elliott, PHI K

16.09: Younghoe Koo, ATL K

16.10: Cameron Dicker, LAC K
