Ironically, I appear to actually be lower on Rodgers, highlighting him as a potential bust for the upcoming season. Round 3, Pick 6: QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay PackersĮspecially when Aaron Rodgers finds his way into the third round. Even without a quarterback, you can’t pass that up. In my opinion, I’m getting two top-three running backs to be the core of my team. Back to being a three-down back for a very successful offense, with a quarterback ( Dak Prescott) that isn’t afraid to pepper him with targets, positive regression should lead to him finishing as one of the top fantasy running backs this season. His 18.8 expected points per game ranked third at the position, while his expected touchdowns (12) were double the amount of actual touchdowns (6) he actually scored. Sure, Ezekiel Elliot’s 2020 production wasn’t where we’d like it to be, but a lot of it was due to poor luck. It is certainly a risk to pass on a quarterback in back-to-back rounds in a superflex draft, though it is equally as risky to pass on the chance to build such a dynamic backfield. When everyone else zigs, sometimes you have to zag. Round 2, Pick 7: RB Ezekiel Elliot, Dallas Cowboys With how much of a gap I perceive there to be between him and the next available running backs ( Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara were off the board), I thought it made more sense to take advantage of the opportunity to draft, as opposed to waiting too long to address the position.

The 26-year-old has ranked in the top-two in PPR points per game for back-to-back seasons, while he’s guaranteed a significant workload in Minnesota. While running back rankings have been extremely volatile this year, the consensus appears to be that Cook is locked in as the second-best player at the position, and it’s easy to see why. In the end, though, the value provided by Dalvin Cook was too much to pass up. With an early run on quarterbacks, it was tempting to go with Lamar Jackson, who went one pick later. Round 1, Pick 6: RB Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings

What picks did I make, and why did I make them? Let’s break down every one of my 14 picks here! Whereas our first mock draft was a traditional format, adding the superflex option certainly threw a wrinkle with regards to my strategy. In this mock draft, I was able to partake in a 12-team PPR SuperFlex draft with my fellow colleagues, starting with the 6th overall pick. Over the course of the offseason, I’ll be reviewing each of the mock drafts I have the luxury of participating in at QB List. You may have an idea on which players you like, but gaining skills on how to maximize each pick’s value, how to understand how others may draft, as well as marketplace valuations can allow you to draft as many as those players as you want! After all, this is going to be your team for the entire season, so you might as well be proud of it! In my opinion, in addition to research on individual players, the best form of practice is participating in mock drafts. Preseason games are underway, which means one thing: fantasy football season is here! Most leagues hold their draft as close to the regular season as possible, but that doesn’t mean this time isn’t a critical time for any fantasy footballer preparation must be done!
