10-Team Mock Draft From #10 Position (8/10/2024)

Trying a draft from Slot 10 to make sure that none of my Elite Eight are available. Once again using FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator. This draft seemed to start out well, but it got ugly in the later rounds. Because there seemed to be a never-ending supply of good wide receivers in the last draft, but in this draft they were suddenly all gone when I started to look for them in Round 10. FP gave me a B- (80/100) on this draft.

Picks 1.10 & 2.1: Garrett Wilson WR & Jonathan Taylor RB. Because this is a snake draft, the #10 pick gets two in a row each time and then has to wait 18 picks to draft again. Also available here at the turn are Puka Nacua, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Saquon Barkley. I think it still makes sense to take one RB and one WR here If you want Davante Adams or Marvin Harrison Jr., you can take one of them along with your favorite remaining RB.

Picks 3.10 & 4.1: Brandon Aiyuk WR & Josh Jacobs RB. Continuing to stay balanced here. Rachaad White is also here again, but I've trained myself to look for Jacobs, who is a much better runner in my opinion, though perhaps doesn't have the receiving opportunity that White gets in Tampa Bay. James Cook is another RB option, whose low TD expectations drops him down this far. Sam LaPorta or Travis Kelce could go here as well.

Picks 5.10 & 6.1: Anthony Richardson QB & Amari Cooper WR. Rhamondre Stevenson is an RB option here. Tee Higgins, Zay Flowers, and Christian Kirk are other WRs to draft for the flex spot if you're not a fan of Cooper.

Picks 7.10 & 8.1: Najee Harris RB & George Kittle TE. Kittle and Kyle Pitts were on the board here, along with Kirk, Terry McLaurin, and Diontae Johnson as WR options. If I had passed on Richardson, Kyler Murray was still around for a QB.

Picks 9.10 & 10.1: Kyler Murray QB & Devin Singletary RB. I was surprised that Kyler made it another two rounds and given Richardson's injury history, it seemed reasonable to grab him as a second QB. But, I probably should have picked up one of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, or Ladd McConkey here, given what was going to be available the next time I got to pick.

Picks 11.10 & 12.1: Kyle Pitts TE & Joshua Palmer WR. I didn't need to grab Kittle if I had known Pitts was going to fall this far. The WRs available were pretty thin here. Romeo Doubs, Rasheed Shaheed, Brandin Cooks, Mike Williams. Nobody exciting, and I had slacked on getting WR depth. Oh, Jayden Daniels was still available here. I would have been happy with Murray+Daniels; so I could have used Pick 6.1 to grab Tee Higgins instead of Richardson, perhaps.

Picks 13.10 & 14.1: Khalil Shakir WR & Ravens DST. I was probably lucky to get both of these.

Pick 15.10: Tyler Bass K. If your snake draft has an odd number of rounds, the #10 drafter gets screwed at the end. None of the sites probably support it, but the last drafter should get the first pick in the last round if there are an odd number of rounds.

Mock Draft: FantasyPros Simulator 10-Team (Position 3) Grade A

Image
Okay, I decided just to do my first Mock Draft this year on FantasyPros.com, having done no preparation so far. This just uses a simulator for the other nine teams and isn't against real people, but it's a good first start, and there's no clock; so I don't have to rush my picks as much. I selected 10-Team PPR with QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex, K, DST. It randomly assigned me draft slot 3. 1.03 WR CeeDee Lamb . Justin Jefferson was the other option here. I decided to go with the one with a more established QB. 2.08 RB De'Von Achane . Ladd McConkey was the WR option. I'm not convinced the Chargers aren't going to go back to the running game. Brock Bowers was available here, but seems a little too rich still. 3.03 TE Trey McBride . McConkey is still on the board. Locking in a top TE seems reasonable. 4.08 WR Tee Higgins . Jalen Hurts and George Kittle were available here. I think I like Kittle in Round 4 better than McBride in Round 3. RBs are looking thin here, wi...

Real 10-Team Draft (NFL.com) From Position #10 (8/25/2024)

Yes, all my mock drafts were leading up to this, my actual fantasy football draft on NFL.com. Now, our league commissioner has built some idiosyncrasies into the league, which affected my draft slightly. In addition to being a PPR league, there is a 0.5 point bonus per rushing attempt. This kind of makes it like a half-PPR league in a way, but it also boosts the value of running QBs. Then, on top of that, there is an end-of-year payout to the team whose quarterbacks score the most points for the season. Similarly, there is an end-of-year payout for top-scoring defense through the season. There is a payout for the highest single-week running back performance, and a payout for the highest scoring week overall. I was randomly given the #10 position, which is probably my least favorite position this year, but I did notice that it does come with the bonus of getting the #1 waiver spot to start the season. Pick 1.10: A.J. Brown WR (bye 5). Pick 2.01: Saquon Barkley RB (bye 5). Team 9 took Jo...

12-Team Mock Draft from Position #3 (FantasyPros Sim) 8/15/2024

Image
Well, I did create a tier sheet, and then I forgot to use it for this FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator . Three of my top four receivers have byes in Week 6, which would hurt me here. I need to pay more attention to the bye week before clicking that Draft button. FP gave me a B- (81/100), which was a measly one-point improvement over yesterday's draft  and a projected sixth place finish out of 12 teams. Pick 1.03: Tyreek Hill WR (bye 6). I think Tyreek should go #2 overall because CeeDee Lamb's status is still up in the air a little. Should I consider an RB here? Projections are Breece Hall (301.1)+Jaylen Waddle (228.3) versus Tyreek (325.1)+Rachaad White (237.0), nearly two points a game; so taking the WR here is much better. Pick 2.10: Cooper Kupp WR (bye 6). Stacking my top two picks with the same bye week doesn't seem like a good move. If I had recognized I was doing this, I would have taken Drake London or Brandon Aiyuk here instead. Pick 3.03: Rachaad White RB (bye 11)...
