Fantasy football mock draft for a 10-team, non-PPR league at the No. 10 pick.

With just over two weeks until the 2020 NFL season kicks off, that means it’s fantasy football draft season. Fans can peruse rankings, listen to expert predictions and consume all of the analysis possible. But perhaps the best resource to attack your draft with is a fantasy football mock draft. That can either mean participating in your own or looking at the results of others.

Obviously, you’re here to do the latter. Where this fantasy football mock draft differs from many others that you’ll see is that this wasn’t compiled by a number of industry experts getting together. Instead, this was compiled on Fantasy Football Calculator in a 10-team, non-PPR league with four other users (five in total) and five autodrafting computer slots.

Mock drafting with other regular fantasy football players and even the computer, in my opinion, gives you a better window into how your league-mates will be drafting. Thus, it will help you the most in your own drafts whenever they come around.

For this fantasy football mock draft, once again in a 10-team, non-PPR league, we’ll be picking at the turn with the No. 10 pick in the first round. So let’s see what kind of team we can construct to hopefully be a league-winner.

Note: All stats are via Pro Football Reference and all 2019 fantasy scoring info is via ESPN Fantasy unless otherwise noted.

Round 1

Team 1 (1.01) – Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR
Team 2 (1.02) – Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG
Team 3 (1.03) – Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL
Team 4 (1.04) – Alvin Kamara, RB, NO
Team 5 (1.05) – Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN
Team 6 (1.06) – Michael Thomas, WR, NO
Team 7 (1.07) – Derrick Henry, RB, TEN
Team 8 (1.08) – Patrick Mahomes, QB, KC
Team 9 (1.09) – Josh Jacobs, RB, LVR
Team 10* (1.10) – Nick Chubb, RB, CLE

In a non-PPR league, the premium already placed on running backs this fantasy football season is heightened. A player like Derrick Henry, who doesn’t contribute much in the passing game, sees his value skyrocket. And to some degree, the player who I took at No. 10, Browns running back Nick Chubb, fits in the same category, albeit to a slightly lesser degree.

Chubb got his first full season as the lead running back in Cleveland last season and, despite the immense dysfunction of that team, the former Georgia Bulldogs standout was a stud. He finished as RB6 in non-PPR leagues while rushing for 1,494 yards and eight touchdowns on 298 carries while also catching 36 of 49 targets for 278 yards.

Detractors from Chubb will point out that he’s sharing a backfield with Kareem Hunt, which he did for the second half of last season. That’s a concern, sure. Having said that, that rings as more of an issue in PPR leagues than non-PPR as Chubb should be the workhorse on running downs. Furthermore, new head coach Kevin Stefanski relies on his rushing attack, which is better news for Chubb.

Perhaps the biggest reason why I love Chubb at 1.10 is the simple fact that Cleveland is going to be better. The Browns improved the offensive line this offseason and the arrival of Stefanski should simply make them more functional. After rushing for just shy of 1,500 yards last year, it wouldn’t shock me to see Chubb better that and find the end zone double-digit times.

Round 2

Team 10* (2.01) – Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, KC
Team 9 (2.02) – Miles Sanders, RB, PHI
Team 8 (2.03) – Joe Mixon, RB, CIN
Team 7 (2.04) – Tyreek Hill, WR, KC
Team 6 (2.05) – Aaron Jones, RB, GB
Team 5 (2.06) – Davante Adams, WR, GB
Team 4 (2.07) – Kenyan Drake, RB, ARI
Team 3 (2.08) – Austin Ekeler, RB, LAC
Team 2 (2.09) – DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ARI
Team 1 (2.10) – James Conner, RB, PIT

More from NFL Spin Zone

If you’re in a PPR league, I’ve championed the notion of taking Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with a top-five pick. With Damien Williams’ decision to opt-out and all that we’ve seen early on in training camp, the last pick in the first round of this year’s draft is going to be the lead back in maybe the best offense in the NFL.

While you won’t get points for Edwards-Helaire’s heavy projected usage as a pass-catcher out of backfield, the yardage will still count towards your totals. And that’s important considering the rookie’s ability in that capacity.

At LSU, CEH was used as a pass-catching running back more often than we normally see prospects at that level and he was elite in that capacity. Subsequently, there’s no reason to think that Andy Reid and the Chiefs won’t utilize him in a similar manner in an offense that loves to pass to running backs. Throw in his ability as a rusher in an offense that will force defenses to gear towards the pass, and there are opportunities abound.

As mentioned, early reports out of training camp have Edwards-Helaire getting the majority of the first-team reps on offense. For a rookie after a shortened offseason, that’s absolutely huge to see him already working in that role. Kansas City didn’t use their first-round pick on the back to sit him on the sidelines and he’s an RB1 lock in all formats for me.

Round 3

Team 1 (3.01) – Kenny Golladay, WR, DET
Team 2 (3.02) – Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL
Team 3 (3.03) – Julio Jones, WR, ATL
Team 4 (3.04) – Chris Godwin, WR, TB
Team 5 (3.05) – Travis Kelce, TE, KC
Team 6 (3.06) – Chris Carson, RB, SEA
Team 7 (3.07) – George Kittle, TE, SF
Team 8 (3.08) – Adam Thielen, WR, MIN
Team 9 (3.09) – Mike Evans, WR, TB
Team 10* (3.10) – Amari Cooper, WR, DAL

Sitting at the end of the third round, I was hoping that George Kittle would end up falling to 3.10. With the injuries in the San Francisco wide receiver corps, Kittle has massive upside. He was already the top pass-catching target and that should only be exacerbated due to circumstance. Of course, he went three picks before I got back on the clock.

That being said, I’m more than happy to start addressing wide receiver with the 30th overall pick in this fantasy football mock draft by taking Amari Cooper. Since joining the Cowboys midway through the 2018 season, Cooper has 1,914 yards on 132 receptions and 14 touchdowns in 25 games — and that was with playing through some injuries last season.

Cooper finished as the WR7 in non-PPR scoring leagues last season, which speaks to his effectiveness in the Dallas offense as Dak Prescott’s top target. The big concern for people entering the 2020 season, though, is the arrival of CeeDee Lamb and the possibility that the rookie could eat into Cooper’s target share.

For me, that’s not a concern. Not only do I expect Mike McCarthy to simply run a more functional offense than Jason Garrett did, but there are also targets for Lamb to take with Randall Cobb and Jason Witten gone, nearly 150 of them to be exact. Cooper is still the top target and, now healthy, he should produce another big-time season for America’s Team.

Round 4

Team 10* (4.01) – A.J. Brown, WR, TEN
Team 9 (4.02) – Le’Veon Bell, RB, NYJ
Team 8 (4.03) – Melvin Gordon, RB, DEN
Team 7 (4.04) – Leonard Fournette, RB, JAX
Team 6 (4.05) – Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR
Team 5 (4.06) – Mark Ingram, RB, BAL
Team 4 (4.07) – Mark Andrews, TE, BAL
Team 3 (4.08) – David Johnson, RB, HOU
Team 2 (4.09) – Todd Gurley, RB, ATL
Team 1 (4.10) – Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL

One of the biggest surprises of last season was Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown emerging as fantasy football’s WR9 in non-PPR scoring. The second-round pick in the 2019 draft finished the regular season with 52 catches on 84 targets for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns, which is quite impressive for a rookie.

It’s worth noting, though, that Brown’s rookie season could’ve been even better if Ryan Tannehill had been the starter for all 16 games. In the 10 games where Tannehill started, Brown had 38 receptions on 61 targets for 778 yards and six touchdowns. On a 16-game pace with that quarterback connection, Brown would’ve had 60 catches, 1,244 yards and nine touchdowns (rounding down).

For PPR formats, I tend to shy away from Brown at a time like the fourth round because, even if his target share increases, he’s still not going to be a reception monster. What he is, however, is a big-play threat, both working down the field and creating yards after the catch. That’s not going away in this offense, especially as he and Tannehill build even more of a rapport.

Brown may not be a top-10 wide receiver for the second straight season but saying that he’s a comfortable top-15 projection isn’t a stretch at all. His skill-set is perfectly suited for non-PPR leagues to take advantage of, which is why he was the pick at 4.01 in this fantasy football mock draft.

Round 5

Team 1 (5.01) – Devin Singletary, RB, BUF
Team 2 (5.02) – D.K. Metcalf, WR, SEA
Team 3 (5.03) – Robert Woods, WR, LAR
Team 4 (5.04) – JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, PIT
Team 5 (5.05) – Stefon Diggs, WR, BUF
Team 6 (5.06) – T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND
Team 7 (5.07) – David Montgomery, RB, CHI
Team 8 (5.08) – Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND
Team 9 (5.09) – Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA
Team 10* (5.10) – Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN

Picking at the end of a round can be a nerve-wracking and pain-inducing experience. Much like with Kittle in Round 3 not quite making it to me, my hope was to really bolster the running back group by landing Jonathan Taylor at 5.10. Instead, he went two picks before I got on the clock, forcing me to change course.

Taylor going off the board soured the value at running back for me so, instead, I elected to look at wide receiver once more and get another guy who should be in a good position. Yes, that might be shocking to say about Courtland Sutton given the offseason that the Broncos had but it’s a hill I’m willing to stand on.

Denver added wide receivers with their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, taking Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler, respectively. That, in theory, could take away looks from Sutton. And while it may, Sutton is a player whose skill-set as a big-bodied red-zone threat and another downfield threat is not matched by anyone the Broncos brought in.

Sutton finished last fantasy football season as the WR17 after catching 72 of 124 targets for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns. The touchdown number is key for me as, in this offense and with Drew Lock hopefully being the right quarterback, it should go up. If it does, he could be a steal at the end of the fifth round if he’s there.

Round 6

Team 10* (6.01) – Zach Ertz, TE, PHI
Team 9 (6.02) – Dak Prescott, QB, DAL
Team 8 (6.03) – Raheem Mostert, RB, SF
Team 7 (6.04) – Odell Beckham Jr., WR, CLE
Team 6 (6.05) – Russell Wilson, QB, SEA
Team 5 (6.06) – D.J. Chark, WR, JAX
Team 4 (6.07) – Keenan Allen, WR, LAC
Team 3 (6.08) – Allen Robinson, WR, CHI
Team 2 (6.09) – D.J. Moore, WR, CAR
Team 1 (6.10) – Kyler Murray, QB, ARI

At the start of the sixth round, my major concern was at tight end. My belief at the position this season is that Travis Kelce and George Kittle in the first three rounds are good but then you want to get one of the three guys in my next tier in Rounds 6 or 7. And with so many picks until I was on the clock again in this fantasy football mock draft, I pulled the trigger on Zach Ertz.

With three wide receivers on the roster and two running backs amid a dry spell at the latter position, this felt like a fine time for a tight end. I became a bit worried when there wasn’t another tight end who went off the board in Round 6 but having Ertz can still be an immensely valuable commodity for my roster.

Ertz actually finished last season as the TE5 in fantasy, though he did only play in 15 games. But here’s the thing. While Kittle and Kelce remain great options, the other tight ends in the second tier, Mark Andrews and Darren Waller, are primed for regression for me as the offenses should disperse some of their targets to wide receivers in the 2020 season.

Yes, the Eagles spent some valuable capital on the wide receiver position this offseason. However, I only see that opening up more quality targets for Ertz rather than force-feeding him like they had to last season. That should result in more yardage and quality red-zone looks, which solidifies Ertz as TE3 in the 2020 season for me.

Round 7

Team 1 (7.01) – Marquise Brown, WR, BAL
Team 2 (7.02) – Kareem Hunt, RB, CLE
Team 3 (7.03) – Deshaun Watson, QB, HOU
Team 4 (7.04) – Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB
Team 5 (7.05) – D’Andre Swift, RB, DET
Team 6 (7.06) – Darren Waller, TE, LVR
Team 7 (7.07) – Terry McLaurin, WR, WAS
Team 8 (7.08) – A.J. Green, WR, CIN
Team 9 (7.09) – DeVante Parker, WR, MIA
Team 10* (7.10) – Ronald Jones II, RB, TB

Seeing that Darren Waller was the only tight end taken after I selected Ertz last round hurt as I could’ve potentially landed Dak Prescott at quarterback — one of the few I’m willing to take in the first six rounds — and then gotten Mark Andrews at 7.10 in this fantasy football mock draft. Regardless, I’m not unhappy with the roster at this point and it does free me up to take some mid-round fliers.

While a lot of the post-NFL Draft buzz around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was that rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn could be the lead running back, training camp has painted a different picture. Everything at this point is pointing to third-year runner Ronald Jones II taking over the duties as the top back on the depth chart, which is fascinating with Tom Brady at the helm.

Jones was just the RB27 in fantasy football for non-PPR scoring last season, which may not get many people excited. Having said that, Jones seemed to find his footing as a runner towards the end of last season and has truly improved after a dismal rookie season. More importantly, this offense should be more consistent and not have to chuck it as much with Brady at quarterback.

Brady has also traditionally loved passing to his running backs and, while this isn’t PPR scoring, Jones’ speed to create yards after the catch adds value there in non-PPR formats. If he is indeed established as the lead back in this offense getting the bulk of the snaps, then Jones has mid-RB2 potential this season, making him a nice shot to take at this point.

Round 8

Team 10* (8.01) – Jordan Howard, RB, MIA
Team 9 (8.02) – Rob Gronkowski, TE, TB
Team 8 (8.03) – Brandin Cooks, WR, HOU
Team 7 (8.04) – Drew Brees, QB, NO
Team 6 (8.05) – Cam Akers, RB, LAR
Team 5 (8.06) – Marlon Mack, RB, IND
Team 4 (8.07) – J.K. Dobbins, RB, BAL
Team 3 (8.08) – Hunter Henry, TE, LAC
Team 2 (8.09) – Jared Cook, TE, NO
Team 1 (8.10) – Evan Engram, TE, NYG

Even though Brian Flores’ Miami Dolphins far exceeded expectations for the 2019 season by winning five games and not going 0-16, as some people predicted, the offense was not wholly functional. Specifically, the Dolphins had by far the worst rushing offense in the league a season ago, which was a construct of a lack of talent both in the backfield and on the offensive line.

Miami invested in the offensive line both in free agency and the draft, hoping to shore things up in the trenches to some degree, even if the completed product isn’t yet in place. But the Dolphins also added two running backs to help spark that rushing attack, signing Jordan Howard in free agency and trading for Matt Breida during the draft.

While I’ve always liked the talent of Breida, his health is an issue and he may be a pass-catching backup. As far as the majority of the rushing attempts in Miami go, it seems as if Howard is a shoo-in to be the lead runner in this offense. And while unspectacular, you can do a lot worse than Howard in that regard.

Though he was banged up last season with Philly, Howard has averaged 4.3 yards per carry over 57 career games with 3,895 yards and 30 touchdowns. Again, he doesn’t offer much as a pass-catcher. Having said that, he’s a sure runner that could provide some upside for this offense and, as a bye-week or injury fill-in, he should be a decent enough backup for you to roster this year in fantasy football.

Round 9

Team 1 (9.01) – Sony Michel, RB, NE
Team 2 (9.02) – Deebo Samuel, WR, SF
Team 3 (9.03) – Will Fuller, WR, HOU
Team 4 (9.04) – Kerryon Johnson, RB, DET
Team 5 (9.05) – Matt Ryan, QB, ATL
Team 6 (9.06) – Tevin Coleman, RB, SF
Team 7 (9.07) – Damien Williams, RB, KC (Computer Selection)
Team 8 (9.08) – Jarvis Landry, WR, CLE
Team 9 (9.09) – Michael Gallup, WR, DAL
Team 10* (9.10) – Mecole Hardman, WR, KC

Whenever the Chiefs selected Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman with a second-round pick in the 2019 draft, it was at a time in which the immediate future of Tyreek Hill was in question. Of course, Hill was available to start the year, though he did go down with injury. Having said that, Hardman didn’t play a big role in the Kansas City offense.

Hardman only had 41 targets and 26 receptions on the season but, in doing so, he showcased his elite big-play ability in this high-octane Chiefs offense — in addition to being a stud returner. Hardman racked up 538 yards on those 26 catches and had six touchdowns as well. That’s a rate that likely won’t continue but his speed still makes him a lethal player whenever he touches the ball.

After a full season with the Chiefs, there is at least potential for Hardman to take up a larger role in the offense as the third wide receiver target behind Hill and Sammy Watkins. And with his propensity for making huge plays, that’s enough for me to take him with pick 9.10 in this fantasy football mock draft.

There’s no question that Hardman presents a bit of a conundrum as it might be hard to know when to play him if Hill and Watkins are healthy. But when you have your starters set and look at the upside of the second-year running back, it’s hard not to be enticed by what he could possibly add to your roster.

Round 10

Team 10* (10.01) – Josh Allen, QB, BUF
Team 9 (10.02) – Matt Breida, RB, MIA
Team 8 (10.03) – Austin Hooper, TE, CLE
Team 7 (10.04) – Emmanuel Sanders, WR, NO
Team 6 (10.05) – Marvin Jones, WR, DET
Team 5 (10.06) – Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN
Team 4 (10.07) – Julian Edelman, WR, NE
Team 3 (10.08) – Zack Moss, RB, BUF
Team 2 (10.09) – Phillip Lindsay, RB, DEN
Team 1 (10.10) – CeeDee Lamb, WR, DAL

Okay, fine — I’ll take a quarterback. My stance at the position is that I either want one of the top four (Mahomes, Jackson, Prescott, Murray) at the right value or I want to be the last person to fill the position. The latter happened here, which left me with a choice between Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, both of whom I like as the 10th quarterback off the board in fantasy football.

Simply because of Stafford being injured last year and concerns about the Lions infrastructure, I went with Allen, who finished as QB6 last season. While Allen’s nine rushing touchdowns from last season may decline, the hope is that adding Stefon Diggs to the offense can help him become a more effective passer. In any case, his rushing ability gives him easy QB1 status this season.

Round 11

Team 1 (11.01) – San Francisco D/ST
Team 2 (11.02) – Baltimore D/ST
Team 3 (11.03) – Tom Brady, QB, TB
Team 4 (11.04) – Alexander Mattison, RB, MIN
Team 5 (11.05) – Latavius Murray, RB, NO
Team 6 (11.06) – Carson Wentz, QB, PHI
Team 7 (11.07) – Diontae Johnson, WR, PIT
Team 8 (11.08) – Ke’Shawn Vaughn, RB, TB
Team 9 (11.09) – Matthew Stafford, QB, DET
Team 10* (11.10) – Christian Kirk, WR, ARI

People are high on the Arizona Cardinals offense this season with the addition of DeAndre Hopkins and with Kyler Murray having a year under his belt. While that might help the actual offense, it does create an issue for fantasy football. There is a chance that there are too many mouths to feed for Hopkins to have the same value he did in Houston.

For Christian Kirk, however, I don’t feel the same. Kirk presents a different skill-set than Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald with his ability to be a burner down the field in addition to winning underneath. He’s not a player I’m big on in PPR formats but, with big-play potential in what should be a good offense that throws a lot, Kirk has upside, especially as a Round 11 pick.

Round 12

Team 10* (12.01) – Damien Harris, RB, NE
Team 9 (12.02) – Darius Slayton, WR, NYG
Team 8 (12.03) – Darrell Henderson, RB, LAR
Team 7 (12.04) – Buffalo D/ST
Team 6 (12.05) – Tony Pollard, RB, DAL
Team 5 (12.06) – Daniel Jones, QB, NYG
Team 4 (12.07) – Jerry Jeudy, WR, DEN
Team 3 (12.08) – Justin Jackson, RB, LAC
Team 2 (12.09) – James White, RB, NE
Team 1 (12.10) – Henry Ruggs III, WR, LVR

There is always some trepidation when it comes to taking a Patriots running back in fantasy football with the way Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels have treated the position traditionally. Having said that, the buzz coming out of training camp and the situation at hand leads me to believe that Damien Harris might be a super-under-valued commodity in fantasy right now.

With Sony Michel’s immediate future up in the air due to injury, Harris might be the top ball-carrier on the roster with James White remaining the primary passing-down back. Yes, that may somewhat limit Harris’ overall upside but that’s why he’s a Round 12 pick and not higher. But the second-year player was a beast at Alabama and, with a year learning New England’s system, he could be a league-winning breakout candidate at this point in the draft.

Round 13

Team 1 (13.01) – John Brown, WR, BUF
Team 2 (13.02) – Baker Mayfield, QB, CLE
Team 3 (13.03) – Harrison Butker, K, KC
Team 4 (13.04) – Chicago D/ST
Team 5 (13.05) – Pittsburgh D/ST
Team 6 (13.06) – New England D/ST
Team 7 (13.07) – Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT
Team 8 (13.08) – Mike Williams, WR, LAC
Team 9 (13.09) – Noah Fant, TE, DEN
Team 10* (13.10) – Antonio Gibson, RB, WAS

I’m not as high as some people are on Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson but, when he’s available at 13.10, I’m not going to pass up on the potential.

Gibson didn’t even get 100 touches in his final season at Memphis but what he did with his limited work in a crowded backfield was highly impressive and got him drafted in the third round this year. The rookie has explosive big-play ability that can break one any time the ball is in his hands.

There are a ton of touches available in the Washington backfield right now after Derrius Guice’s release. Gibson may take some time to get accustomed to a full-time or even part-time role in an NFL offense. But if he has any type of role that puts the ball in his hands, he has enough playmaking ability to become a nice piece on your fantasy football roster.

Round 14

Team 10* (14.01) – Justin Tucker, K, BAL
Team 9 (14.02) – Kansas City D/ST
Team 8 (14.03) – LA Chargers D/ST
Team 7 (14.04) – Greg Zuerlein, K, DAL
Team 6 (14.05) – Wil Lutz, K, NO
Team 5 (14.06) – Younghoe Koo, K, ATL
Team 4 (14.07) – Zane Gonzalez, K, ARI
Team 3 (14.08) – Hayden Hurst, TE, ATL
Team 2 (14.09) – Matt Prater, K, DET
Team 1 (14.10) – Kaimi Fairbairn, K, HOU

It’s pretty widely accepted that Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is the best player at his position in the NFL — and it’s not really close at this point, either. Having said that, he was only the third-best kicker in fantasy football last season, which was more of a construct of Lamar Jackson and the offense being so efficient and willing to go for fourth-down attempts than it was a statement on Tucker’s ability.

Regardless, drafting Tucker — with one of your final two picks — gives you a sure-footed option that won’t be penalizing you for a ton of missed field goals and who always has the potential to knock a super-long field goal through. That’s all you can ever ask for at the position, so it’s nice to get the best kicker in the league here, even if he’s not necessarily the best fantasy kicker.

Round 15

Team 1 (15.01) – Alshon Jeffery, WR, PHI
Team 2 (15.02) – Sammy Watkins, WR, KC
Team 3 (15.03) – Philadelphia D/ST
Team 4 (15.04) – Sterling Shepard, WR, NYG
Team 5 (15.05) – Justin Jefferson, WR, MIN
Team 6 (15.06) – Robby Anderson, WR, CAR
Team 7 (15.07) – Chase Edmonds, RB, ARI
Team 8 (15.08) – Jake Elliott, K, PHI
Team 9 (15.09) – Dan Bailey, K, MIN
Team 10* (15.10) – Denver D/ST

It warms my heart to take a defense/special teams with the final pick of this fantasy football mock draft. Anyone who has heard me talk about roster construction and draft strategy before knows that I’m a champion of streaming defenses and not using valuable picks (before the last two selections) on a D/ST. So doing that here shouldn’t be a surprise.

While I would, again, recommend streaming your defenses, the Broncos defense is a good bet to always be solid. They have revamped the secondary with A.J. Bouye while adding Jurrell Casey to the front seven makes that group potentially lethal with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. That has the potential for low scores allowed and creating turnovers, which is what you want to see.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft Recap, Roster Breakdown

QB: Josh Allen, BUF
RB: Nick Chubb, CLE
RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC
WR: Amari Cooper, DAL
WR: A.J. Brown, TEN
WR: Courtland Sutton, DEN
FLEX: Ronald Jones II, TB
TE: Zach Ertz, PHI
D/ST: Denver
K: Justin Tucker, BAL
BENCH: Jordan Howard, RB, MIA
BENCH: Mecole Hardman, WR, KC
BENCH: Christian Kirk, WR, ARI
BENCH: Damien Harris, RB, NE
BENCH: Antonio Gibson, RB, WAS

If my actual roster ended up looking anything close to the result of this fantasy football mock draft whenever actual draft day rolls around, I would be absolutely thrilled.

Chubb and Edwards-Helaire as my top two running backs gives me two RB1s that also have top-five potential at the position. In a 10-team, non-PPR format, that’s immensely valuable and gives me an immense advantage over the rest of the league with players I deem as high-floor, high-upside commodities.

The wide receiver group here may not have the ceiling of the running backs but they do all fill the role of being non-PPR studs who all have solid top-20 expectations. Pair that with Josh Allen at quarterback and Zach Ertz at tight end, and you have to like the baseline production you’re going to get there week-in and week-out.

What I really love about this roster is the fliers. From Jones to Howard to Hardman to Kirk to Harris to Gibson, anyone from this group has the potential to be a legitimate league-winner if the best-case scenario for them plays out in relation to where they were drafted. They are the types of players who give you an immediate advantage if they hit right.

Ultimately, the only thing I would potentially change would be taking Dak Prescott in Round 6 and then Mark Andrews in Round 7. But hindsight is 20-20 and, with how I saw this mock draft in the moment, this is a great roster that should compete for a fantasy championship.
