Mock Draft Results Round 1

    • Pick: 1.01
    • Player: Ja’Marr Chase
    • Team: Bengals
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 6 / WR3

Triple Crown Winner. Career highs across the board. Dominant all season. WR1 overall. What else do you need to see? If Joe Burrow and Chase are healthy, Chase is the easy WR1 for me in all formats.

    • Pick: 1.02
    • Player: Bijan Robinson
    • Team: Falcons
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 5 / RB3

Robinson started slow, but turned it on just when we needed him. He was RB18 over the first five weeks of the season with just 13.5 PPR PPG. After that, he was RB2 behind only… Gibbs. Bijan had 10 games of 20+ PPR points including 25+ in five performances. Kirk Cousins will be moving on, but Michael Penix looks the part (see Drake London below). If Bijan puts together two halves of a season as he did in the second half, he’s the RB1. 

    • Pick: 1.03
    • Player: Jahmyr Gibbs
    • Team: Lions
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 13 / RB6

Gibbs was the PPR RB1 overall and RB1 during the Fantasy Playoffs. Even with 15 touches per game, Gibbs is a Top 10 weekly RB. If/when David Montgomery misses time, Gibbs is the RB1. Massive upside as a runner, great receiver, and scores touchdowns. He’d be ahead of Robinson if D-Mont wasn’t in Mo’ Town. 

    • Pick: 1.04
    • Player: Justin Jefferson
    • Team: Vikings
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 8 / WR4

What can I say here to “convince” you? Obviously, nothing. So, I’ll share my concerns, giving Chase the WR1 nod from me as of now. The QB situation in MIN is “sus” at best right now. Sam Darnold played out of his mind for a career year over the first 15 games. He turned into “Sam Darnold” to end the season and playoffs. JJ  MCCarthy is recovering from a season-ending injury early in his rookie campaign and is still essentially a rookie. I love Jettas. I just don’t love his environment. I can’t see him passing up Chase, but he should stay a Top 3 preseason WR in my mocks.

    • Pick: 1.05
    • Player: Puka Nacua
    • Team: Rams
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 14 / WR8

Nacua missed six-and-a-half games, but was the WR2 in PPR PPG behind only Ja’Marr Chase. Cooper Kupp was a hero in fantasy football for a few years, but that time has come and gone. Puka is the new top target for Matthew Stafford. You want that guy. Calvin Johnson, Cooper Kupp… Puka Nacua. He had five games with 100+ receiving yards and saw at least 13 targets in four games. Nacua may not feel like he has the WR1 overall, but remember what Kupp did in this offense just a few years ago. 

    • Pick: 1.06
    • Player: CeeDee Lamb
    • Team: Cowboys
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 2 / WR1

Lamb was the first WR drafted in 2024. He was coming off the WR1 overall showing in 2023. Unfortunately, that did not happen in 2024. He had just two touchdowns in DAL’s first six games before their bye and had yet to eclipse 100+ yards receiving. After that, it got worse for the most part. He had just four more touchdowns over the remaining nine games. Dak Prescott was done for the season and Cooper Rush just wasn’t it. He targeted Lamb heavily offering double digit targets in six of the nine games played together and Lamb was the WR5 from Week 8-16, but had two clunkers in week’s 10 and 13. He also sat our Fantasy Championship weekend Week 17. Lamb will be back and so will Dak (right?), but with HC Mike McCarthy on his way out and Coach Prime in the wake. We’ll see what’s up in Big D for 2025. Either way, Lamb should still be a Top 5 option at WR. 

    • Pick: 1.07
    • Player: Saquon Barkley
    • Team: Eagles
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 12 / RB5

Barkley returned to his magical rookie season form surpassing 2,000 rushing yards and ending the season as RB2 overall. He had six games of 30+ PPR fantasy points including Week 18 for anyone still playing. He had 11 100+ rushing yard games. 15 touchdowns ties his rookie season. Saquon is healthy and on a run-heavy offense. Oh, and he’s still one of the best pass catching backs in the league. Giddy up.

    • Pick: 1.08
    • Player: Christian McCaffrey
    • Team: 49ers
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 1 / RB1

I know. You’re bitter. So am I. Plus, I’m a 49ers fan, so… it’s a deep wound. Look. Dude got hurt and couldn’t heal. Sucks. I drafted him at 1.01 in three leagues. He didn’t play until Week 10 and only played four weeks. They were… meh. He scored 12 PPR PPG; terrible for a Fantasy Football Hall of Famer. All of that said, if he’s healthy coming into 2025 I’m drafting him in the first round. If you’re gun shy, I get it. I’m not. He’s risky AF for sure, but he’s also the best fantasy RB when healthy over the last decade. If you’d rather fade, do it. If you’ve got the guts and roster build skills to cover his bail, draft and hope. He’s Christian McCaffrey

    • Pick: 1.09
    • Player: Amon-Ra St. Brown
    • Team: Lions
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 6 / WR3

Sun God was PPR WR3 and had seven games of 20+ PPR fantasy points. He remains Jared Goff’s favorite target and is far more than just a slot / PPR receiver. He had 12 touchdowns on the season with a streak of eight consecutive games with a score mid season. Then another streak of three consecutive games with a touchdown catch. He’s not thought of as the elite WR Chase and Jefferson are, but he puts up similar numbers. ARSB is as safe as they come; barring injury of course.

    • Pick: 1.10
    • Player: Malik Nabers
    • Team: Giants
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 49 / WR24

Nabers burst onto the scene quickly with… unemployed Daniel Jones. Nabers was the WR1 overall with 23 PPR PPG before his nasty concussion causing him to miss two games. Upon his return from Week 7-18, he was the PPR WR 9 with… well, not good quarterbacks. Nabers was excellent as a rookie and can only improve once he has a steady option behind center. He may be a Top 5 pick in 2026. Buy the “dip” while you can. 

    • Pick: 1.11
    • Player: Nico Collins
    • Team: Texans
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 27 / WR13

Collins missed five-and-a-half games, but still ended up PPR WR7 in PPG. He also had a massive Wild Card game against LAC going 7/122/1. Tank Dell tore his ACL (again) late in the season. Robert Woods is way past his prime. John Metchie is coming on, but slowly. The other options are young and unproven. I expect CJ Stroud to get back to his rookie form and continue loading up on Collins in 2025. He’s incredible when healthy. 

    • Pick: 1.12
    • Player: Derrick Henry
    • Team: Ravens
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 18 / RB9

King Henry just won’t slow down. He was PPR RB4 and ½ PPR RB2. I predicted he’d have 20 touchdowns. I was way off… he only had 18 – for the second time in his career. He was also only 79 yards away from 2,000 rushing yards which he did in 2020. The Ravens offense is unstoppable with Henry and Lamar Jackson healthy. If they retain their OC Todd Monken, I expect more of the same in 2025. However, Monken is a sought-after candidate for a HC job. Is a knock if Monken leaves, but regardless, Henry is still worth your RB slot and a dynamite RB2 if you pick on the turn. 

Mock Draft Results Round 2

    • Pick: 2.01
    • Player: De’Von Achane
    • Team: Dolphins
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 25 / RB11

Achane started slowly as the PPR RB15 over the first five weeks. After MIA’s Week 6 bye though, he shaped back into 2023 form as the PPR RB5 rest of season with five games of 20+ PPR points and two of those over 30+. If I knew Tua Tagovailoa would be healthy in 2025 and Tyreek Hill is still going to be interested in playing football and HC Mike McDaniel reopened the offense to what it was in 2022 and Achane no longer had OGs as his competition and… you get the point… he’d be a First Rounder for me. As of now, he kicks off Round 2. 

    • Pick: 2.02
    • Player: Brian Thomas Jr.
    • Team: Jaguars
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 118 / WR48

BTJ is the truth. He was WR4 overall. He’d be a first rounder if I knew for sure that Trevor Lawrence will actually take a step up and who’s calling the plays in Jacksonville. Do they bring in another WR in the NFL Draft? A Free Agent? Too many questions right now, but he’ll definitely be a Top 20 pick for me. He was the WR1 overall during the Fantasy Playoffs and a Top 12 PPR WR overall. Thomas Jr. had double digit targets each game after JAC’s bye in Week 12. He had three 100+ yard receiving games and five touchdowns during that span. I love game wreckers on bad teams. Only means they’ll get better. Draft “cheap” while you can.

    • Pick: 2.03
    • Player: Josh Jacobs
    • Team: Packers
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 26 / WR12

Jacobs was the PPR RB6 overall and for the first time in his career, he helped you in the fantasy playoffs with two 20+ PPR performances. He took six weeks to get going though. Weeks 1-6 he was the PPR RB21. From then on, he was the PPR RB4 overall and RB2 in PPR PPG behind only Barkley. I’m curious to see how the Packers offense looks next year in the receiving corps and if that changes their approach, but Jacobs remains a solid RB1 with weekly touchdown upside when healthy. 

    • Pick: 2.04
    • Player: Kyren Williams
    • Team: Rams
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 15 / RB7

Williams was PPR RB7 overall. He scored an impressive 16 total touchdowns and only missed Week 18 due to HC Sean McVay benching starters to get ready for the Wild Card Round. He had 20+ carries in eight games. You can’t pass on that workload. The offense is humming with Stafford and as mentioned above, Nacua is a Top 5 option himself. Bell cow work, powerful offense, indoor stadium, a coach that loves to run in the redzone. Yes please. 

    • Pick: 2.05
    • Player: Jonathan Taylor
    • Team: Colts
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 11 / RB5

Taylor had ups and downs with two different quarterbacks that play completely opposite brands of football. He was RB 12 overall in PPR, but jumps to PPR RB7 in PPG. Of course we all remember his 40 point performance in Week 16, but what about the 10 points the week prior or just 7 and 11 in Week 11 and 1? He also missed three games. I love a healthy, motivated JT, but I’m just not sold above the others before him. 

    • Pick: 2.06
    • Player: Brock Bowers
    • Team: Raiders
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 95 / TE11

Bowers set rookie records for receptions and receiving yards. Dude was a beast all season on a terrible offense. His situation in Vegas can only improve. Even adding a stud receiver in the off season would just help draw coverage away from Bowers. He earned double digit targets in six games and was a Top 5 TE eight times as a rookie. He’s just ahead of Trey McBride for me… as of now. 

  •  
    • Pick: 2.07
    • Player: Mike Evans
    • Team: Buccaneers
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 30 / WR14

Evans extended his NFL record 11-straight seasons to start a career with 1,000+ receiving yards. Dude’s a Hall of Famer for sure. More importantly for us fantasy folks, Big Mike was PPR WR3 overall during the Fantasy Playoffs. We got a discount on Evans last season, but won’t in 2025. Still though, I expect Baker Mayfield to continue shoveling Evans targets; especially in the Red Zone. Pay up. I will be.

    • Pick: 2.08
    • Player: Tee Higgins
    • Team: Bengals
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 61 / WR28

This of course depends on where Higgins ends up in 2025, but let’s pretend he’s back in Cincinnati… T-Higgy was a monster behind a bigger monster. While he only landed at PPR WR17 overall, he was actually WR5 in PPG at 18.5 and WR2 in the Fantasy Playoffs with 26.6 PPG – opposite of Chase. There’s no reason Joe Burrow and the boys can’t continue this offensive onslaught in 2025. If Higgins moves on from the Bengals, we’ll reassess. Chase is Chase. If you miss out, grab Higgins. Or, go with both! 

    • Pick: 2.09
    • Player: Trey McBride
    • Team: Cardinals
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 48 / TE4

Bowers was TE1 overall, but McBride surpassed him in PPR PPG. he scored 15.5 PPR PPG, but only scored two touchdowns on the season. 147 targets is almost impossible for a tight end, so I want that looks at minimum. Kyler Murray can’t get less accurate, can he? Does ARI move on at QB? Can Marvin Harrison take the step up we expected in his rookie season? I’m honestly good with either McBride or Bowers as your TE1, but Bowers had those five TDs and somehow more targets. It’s a coin flip.

    • Pick: 2.10
    • Player: Bucky Irving
    • Team: Buccaneers
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 181 / WR52

The Duck ended up as PPR RB13, but was splitting time until after Tampa’s bye Week 11. From Week 12-18, Irving was PPR RB6. The rookie averaged 12-15 touches Weeks 1-10. Week 12-18 that ballooned to 22-25+. He had three 100+ yard rushing games and four TDs. Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and the Bucs looked polished in the second half of the season. I expect that to continue in 2025 and starts with “Ducky” Irving. 

    • Pick: 2.11
    • Player: Drake London
    • Team: Falcons
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 23 / WR11

London outproduced his ADP with Kirk Cousins and rookie Michael Penix. Drake was the PPR WR5 overall, but his “mid” from week-to-week. He only showed three Top 12 performances on the season… until Week 18 (when few were still playing in championships). Drake was the WR1 overall with a monster vs. CAR – 10/187/2 on 18 targets. Penix looked the part in limited time and peppered Drake when he could. I expect Drake to pop into the Top 10 next season once again. 

    • Pick: 2.12
    • Player: Rashee Rice
    • Team: Chiefs
    • 2024 ADP (Overall/Position): Pick 68 / WR30

Rice was far and away the Chiefs’ top target to start the season before a knee injury ended his season in Week 4. Over Weeks  1-3, Rice was the PPR WR2 overall behind only Nabers. Rice had two 100+ yard receiving games with two total touchdowns resulting in a WR16, WR14 and WR3 performance. Pending legal suspension or setbacks in his recovery, Rice should again be a Top 10 WR at minimum. You won’t have to draft him in the second round. This is more my vouch and reminder not to forget about him.
