![]() ![]() Jalen Hurts has the dual-threat ability and talent around him to be QB1 when it is all said and done. With how things were shaping up, I could not pass on an elite quarterback at this point. All three are matchup nightmares for just about every cornerback in the NFL. Michael Thomas offers massive upside as my FLEX/WR3. Mike Williams is as physically gifted as any receiver in the league. All reports out of Denver are that Courtland Sutton is Russell Wilson’s go-to target. Having those two top-tier backs allowed me to be aggressive at wide receiver with my next three picks. This duo is as elite as it gets when building your fantasy roster. Both NFC North running backs are unquestioned bell cows with the upside to finish as the top back overall when it’s all said and done. Mixon was also tied with Jonathan Taylor and James Conner for the most red-zone touchdowns. Harris topped the league in touches and Mixon was third. Landing Joe Mixon at the turn gives me two of my top-eight players at Nos. Still, he led the NFL in touches last season and there is no reason to believe that won’t do so again with the Steelers’ suspect quarterback situation. The only reasonable explanation I could come up with for Najee Harris being available is fantasy managers are worried about the news that he’s battled a Lisfranc sprain this preseason. I had to do a double take when I saw who was still available at No. This draft was the polar opposite, as I was in awe at the talent that kept falling to me with the last pick in the first round. I was not a fan of how the mock for the 11th pick went, as I felt the need to reach a bit for many of my picks. Round 16, Pick 1: Evan McPherson, K, Cincinnati Bengals Round 14, Pick 1: Kenyan Drake, RB, Baltimore Ravens Round 13, Pick 12: Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints Round 11, Pick 12: Nyheim Hines, RB, Indianapolis Colts Round 10, Pick 1: Corey Davis, WR, New York Jets Round 9, Pick 12: Zach Ertz, TE, Arizona Cardinals Round 8, Pick 1: Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons Round 7, Pick 12: Dameon Pierce, RB, Houston Texans Round 6, Pick 1: Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles Round 5, Pick 12: Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints Round 4, Pick 1: Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers Round 3, Pick 12: Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos Round 2, Pick 1: Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals Round 1, Pick 12: Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers Let’s get going with the latest mock draft of the 2022 season. 11 pick, 16-team league, Superflex, non-PPR). We are onto the final pick of the order at No. But the draft is where you build the foundation of your roster, and the goal is to have as deep a roster as possible. If you’re a fantasy nerd like me, turn on notifications from your favorite NFL insider for breaking news around the league. If you are drafting early, work the waiver wire to your advantage if any major injuries arise. The draft is just the start of the season. I’m guilty of this myself but I will try to go with different approaches in many of these mock drafts. ![]() Your favorite sleeper is probably someone else’s too. Don’t take the same players in every mock. ![]() Most important of all, be creative with your mock drafts. Remember, do not draft either before your final two picks! However, for the sake of this exercise, I’ll round out each draft by doing so. I’d rather add a few running backs who could end up being a starter in the event of an injury. If you read my draft guide, you know I’m not a fan of drafting kickers and defense if it’s not necessary. ![]() It is a 16-round snake draft in a half-point-per-reception (half-PPR) league. The mock drafts will assume that 12 teams are in the league with the following roster construction: quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, tight end, a flex (running back, wide receiver or tight end) defense, kicker and seven bench spots. The point of these mocks is to prepare for the unexpected. I’ll be doing mock drafts throughout the summer while offering scenarios and feedback for each position. Whether you have the first overall pick or the last of the first round, having a sense of who will be available in each round is key. The key to any fantasy football season is preparation. ![]()
