We are now less than two months from kickoff, and the first fantasy football mock draft of July is for a 10-team, 0.5 league. Previous mocks can be viewed via the links below:
Mock 3.0: 12-Team, Superflex PPR
Mock 4.0: 12-Team, Full PPR (3 WR)
Round 1
1.01: Bijan Robinson, ATL RB
1.02: Ja’Marr Chase, CIN WR
1.03: Saquon Barkley, PHI RB
1.04: Jahmyr Gibbs, DET RB
1.05: Justin Jefferson, MIN WR
1.06: Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET WR
1.07: Malik Nabers, NYG WR
1.08: Puka Nacua, LAR WR
1.09: CeeDee Lamb, DAL WR
1.10: Nico Collins, HOU WR
Thoughts: Gibbs was on fire to end 2024, and he provides both an extremely high ceiling and floor every week. Through two seasons, Gibbs has 26 rushing touchdowns despite being a “smaller” runner.
Round 2
2.01: Ashton Jeanty, LV RB
2.02: Christian McCaffrey, SF RB
2.03: Brian Thomas Jr., JAX WR
2.04: Drake London, ATL WR
2.05: Derrick Henry, BAL RB
2.06: Brock Bowers, LV TE
2.07: De’Von Achane, MIA RB
2.08: Jonathan Taylor, IND RB
2.09: Josh Jacobs, GB RB
2.10: A.J. Brown, PHI WR
Thoughts: Achane is another speedy, game-breaking runner, and we can probably expect him to break more long runs after not really doing so until the end of last year. Also, the trade of Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh should open up even more underneath targets for Achane.
Round 3
3.01: Tyreek Hill, MIA WR
3.02: Bucky Irving, TB RB
3.03: Ladd McConkey, LAC WR
3.04: Kyren Williams, LAR RB
3.05: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA WR
3.06: George Kittle, SF TE
3.07: Trey McBride, ARI TE
3.08: Chase Brown, CIN RB
3.09: Tee Higgins, CIN WR
3.10: Breece Hall, NYJ RB
Thoughts: All the quarterbacks were still on the board, but I was drawn by the appeal of getting three running backs to begin the roster. Williams agreeing to an extension before the season might add some security for fantasy owners to feel good about a fully featured role once again.
Round 4
4.01: Josh Allen, BUF QB
4.02: Omarion Hampton, LAC RB
4.03: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB
4.04: James Cook, BUF RB
4.05: Jalen Hurts, PHI QB
4.06: Kenneth Walker III, SEA RB
4.07: Davante Adams, LAR WR
4.08: Rashee Rice, KC WR
4.09: Mike Evans, TB WR
4.10: James Conner, ARI RB
Thoughts: Adams continues to be a guy that’s tough to not draft when he lasts until the fourth round—as the touchdown potential is as high as anyone’s. Fortunately for those hoping his value stays low, the Rams are a safe bet to not play their starters in August.
Round 5
5.01: Chuba Hubbard, CAR RB
5.02: Joe Mixon, HOU RB
5.03: Alvin Kamara, NO RB
5.04: Jayden Daniels, WAS QB
5.05: Garrett Wilson, NYJ WR
5.06: David Montgomery, DET RB
5.07: Terry McLaurin, WAS WR
5.08: DJ Moore, CHI WR
5.09: Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI WR
5.10: Zay Flowers, BAL WR
Thoughts: The upside of Daniels makes him well worth selecting at this point, and he would have been a consideration for me last round if Davante Adams was off the board. Durability is really the lone concern for the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Round 6
6.01: Tetairoa McMillan, CAR WR
6.02: Joe Burrow, CIN QB
6.03: D’Andre Swift, CHI RB
6.04: TreVeyon Henderson, NE RB
6.05: DK Metcalf, PIT WR
6.06: Aaron Jones Sr., MIN RB
6.07: Jameson Williams, DET WR
6.08: Sam LaPorta, DET TE
6.09: Baker Mayfield, TB QB
6.10: T.J. Hockenson, MIN TE
Thoughts: This lineup would have monster upside when all three backs go off, Davante Adams finds the end zone, and Williams has one of his ceiling games where he hits on a deep ball. We can also expect more general consistency from Jamo in 2025.
Round 7
7.01: Patrick Mahomes II, KC QB
7.02: Isiah Pacheco, KC RB
7.03: Bo Nix, DEN QB
7.04: DeVonta Smith, PHI WR
7.05: Kyler Murray, ARI QB
7.06: Jaylen Waddle, MIA WR
7.07: Brock Purdy, SF QB
7.08: RJ Harvey, DEN RB
7.09: Xavier Worthy, KC WR
7.10: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR
Thoughts: I was close to taking Smith last round, and he’s still available after not wideouts came off the board. Having three excellent options at running back and wide receiver (plus a top-five quarterback) is a great foundation.
Round 8
8.01: George Pickens, DAL WR
8.02: Quinshon Judkins, CLE RB
8.03: Kaleb Johnson, PIT RB
8.04: Tony Pollard, TEN RB
8.05: Tyrone Tracy Jr., NYG RB
8.06: Brian Robinson Jr., WAS RB
8.07: Travis Etienne Jr., JAX RB
8.08: Chris Godwin, TB WR
8.09: Chris Olave, NO WR
8.10: Travis Hunter, JAX WR
Thoughts: Etienne and Davante Adams are the two options I seem to draft all the time, but the value has been there. We’ll see how reports out of training camp (and potentially preseason action) impact the Jacksonville backfield.
Round 9
9.01: Jordan Mason, MIN RB
9.02: Jauan Jennings, SF WR
9.03: Rome Odunze, CHI WR
9.04: Deebo Samuel, WAS WR
9.05: Jaylen Warren, PIT RB
9.06: Najee Harris, LAC RB
9.07: Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB
9.08: Jordan Addison, MIN WR
9.09: Calvin Ridley, TEN WR
9.10: Jerry Jeudy, CLE WR
Thoughts: Samuel no longer projects to be a stable in fantasy lineups, but he can still be a tremendous bench option—with the move to Washington perhaps rejuvenating his career despite many saying he’s lost a step or two.
Round 10
10.01: Brandon Aiyuk, SF WR
10.02: Jakobi Meyers, LV WR
10.03: Ricky Pearsall, SF WR
10.04: Rachaad White, TB RB
10.05: Jayden Reed, GB WR
10.06: Zach Charbonnet, SEA RB
10.07: Travis Kelce, KC TE
10.08: Cam Skattebo, NYG RB
10.09: Khalil Shakir, BUF WR
10.10: Matthew Golden, GB WR
Thoughts: Another mock, another team with Kelce lasting until the double-digit rounds. I wonder if this is realistic in actual drafts with no tight ends going since Round 6, but there’s no doubt Kelce is undervalued.
Round 11
11.01: Tyjae Spears, TEN RB
11.02: Stefon Diggs, NE WR
11.03: Josh Downs, IND WR
11.04: Cooper Kupp, SEA WR
11.05: Michael Pittman Jr., IND WR
11.06: Javonte Williams, DAL RB
11.07: Darnell Mooney, ATL WR
11.08: Keon Coleman, BUF WR
11.09: Emeka Egbuka, TB WR
11.10: Rico Dowdle, CAR RB
Thoughts: Imagine saying you could get Travis Kelce and Kupp with back-to-back picks this late a couple of years ago. I’ll bet on the history and determination to have a bounce-back campaign.
Round 12
12.01: Bhayshul Tuten, JAX RB
12.02: Mark Andrews, BAL TE
12.03: Luther Burden III, CHI WR
12.04: Caleb Williams, CHI QB
12.05: Rashid Shaheed, NO WR
12.06: Justin Herbert, LAC QB
12.07: Hollywood Brown, KC WR
12.08: Justin Fields, NYJ QB
12.09: J.K. Dobbins, DEN RB
12.10: Dak Prescott, DAL QB
Thoughts: The Chiefs getting back to an aggressive, downfield passing attack with Brown and others healthy could make all their pass-catchers (and Patrick Mahomes) strong values. Kansas City easily could have moved on after a lost season for Hollywood, so they clearly have plans for him.
Round 13
13.01: Jayden Higgins, HOU WR
13.02: David Njoku, CLE TE
13.03: Trey Benson, ARI RB
13.04: Jared Goff, DET QB
13.05: Tank Bigsby, JAX RB
13.06: Kyle Monangai, CHI RB
13.07: Ray Davis, BUF RB
13.08: Evan Engram, DEN TE
13.09: Jaydon Blue, DAL RB
13.10: Jonnu Smith, PIT TE
Thoughts: Again, durability is the only real concern about Jayden Daniels, so it makes sense to pair him with a steady option like Goff. I might have taken Justin Fields as another dual-threat option if he was still available.
Round 14
14.01: Isaac Guerendo, SF RB
14.02: Tyler Allgeier, ATL RB
14.03: Austin Ekeler, WAS RB
14.04: Marvin Mims Jr., DEN WR
14.05: Jordan Love, GB QB
14.06: Christian Kirk, HOU WR
14.07: Nick Chubb, HOU RB
14.08: Colston Loveland, CHI TE
14.09: Tucker Kraft, GB TE
14.10: Tyler Warren, IND TE
Thoughts: Chubb is one of the best late-round dart throws of the year, but the remade offensive line for Houston needs to work out for him to “hit” next to Joe Mixon. There is also high handcuff appeal for Chubb.
Round 15
15.01: Broncos D/ST
15.02: Eagles D/ST
15.03: Ravens D/ST
15.04: Steelers D/ST
15.05: Vikings D/ST
15.06: Chiefs D/ST
15.07: Buccaneers D/ST
15.08: Texans D/ST
15.09: Bills D/ST
15.10: Jets D/ST
Round 16
16.01: Justin Tucker, FA K
16.02: Brandon Aubrey, DAL K
16.03: Jake Bates, DET K
16.04: Wil Lutz, DEN K
16.05: Cameron Dicker, LAC K
16.06: Chris Boswell, PIT K
16.07: Ka’imi Fairbairn, HOU K
16.08: Chase McLaughlin, TB K
16.09: Will Reichard, MIN K
16.10: Harrison Butker, KC K
