2021 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft 2.0 (12 Teams) | FantasyPros

While their peak value isn’t realized until August, there is still something to gain from conducting them at various times before draft season.Obviously, much will change between now and August, and this particular mock does not yet have the benefits of the 2021 rookie class, but you can still derive value from an early mock. I removed kickers and defenses because there isn’t any need to include them, especially this early in the process.Complete a mock draft in minutes with our free Draft Simulator >>1.11: Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND) I would be very surprised if I didn’t go running back in the first round of every mock and every real draft I do this season. If there are no quality running backs available at your second-round pick, you can’t just take one because of “the strategy.” This was where I went wrong last year, particularly in auction drafts, in overpaying for non-difference makers like Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake. I fully expect Lamb to be a second-round pick in 2022 fantasy drafts and I want to reap the benefits of the breakout.5.11: Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN) At this pick, I decided I was going with a quarterback, but knowing that there is only one team picking between this pick and my sixth-round pick and there are three quarterbacks in my sights, I went with Courtland Sutton because he is, by far, the most talented wide receiver on the Broncos and a true alpha being slept on because of a lost season due to a torn ACL. Kyler Murray was the QB3 overall last season and will be leaned on heavily once again with the Cardinals lacking a run game and a defense.7.11: Leonard Fournette (RB – TB) Thomas is going to be on the field almost every play and will have improved quarterback play coming from Ryan Fitzpatrick.9.11: Kenyan Drake (RB – LV) From our free mock Draft Simulator – which allows you to mock draft against realistic opponents – to our Cheat Sheet Creator – which allows you to combine rankings from 100+ experts into one cheat sheet – we’ve got you covered this fantasy football draft season.Jason Katz is a featured writer at FantasyPros.
