As NFL training camps got underway this week, our fantasy football experts continued our version of preseason training: taking part in another mock draft.
We do these so you can see which players our analysts like/dislike, where they are aiming to draft them, and different strategies we use in different formats. But you should take part in at least a couple of mock drafts yourself before your real ones so you can work out the kinks and be more confident in your picks.
This was a 10-team, non-PPR draft. For the uninitiated, PPR stands for point per reception, which means running backs, wide receivers and tight ends get a point for every catch they make. This being a non-PPR format, there is no bonus for receptions, so players who rely on heavy pass-catching volume take a hit in fantasy value. You can compare this one to our recent 10-team, PPR draft to see the differences.
One thing worth noting in this draft was that Kansas City Chiefs rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire went in Round 1 for the first time. His value has been on the rise, and it will be interesting to see if this trend continues as Week 1 nears.
The participants for this 10-team, non-PPR mock, in order of draft position, were: Matt Bowen, Eric Karabell, Marcel Louis-Jacques, Kyle Soppe, Tom Carpenter, Daniel Dopp, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Mike Clay, Keith Lipscomb, Damian Dabrowski
