For the fifth time this preseason, our experts took part in a mock draft, as we all continue to prep for real fantasy football drafts, which are right around the corner.
This was a challenging one, as we used 12 teams and a non-PPR format. If you're new to the game, PPR means "point per reception," and non-PPR means we don't give a one-point bonus for each catch made by running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. The result is lower scoring overall, lowered value for players who catch a lot of passes and higher value for those who rack up TDs and yardage.
Rolling out a dozen teams also means we draft more players, further diluting the talent pool and making things more challenging -- it's a classic and fun way to play.
The full results of this mock draft are below, and for comparison, you can take a look at how our other mocks turned out here: 10-team, non-PPR (July 30) | 12-team PPR (July 23) | 10-team PPR (June 22) | 12-team PPR (May 8)
The participants for this 12-team, non-PPR mock, in order of draft position, were: Eric Karabell, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Matt Bowen, Matthew Berry, Joe Kaiser, Mike Triplett, Keith Lipscomb, Michael Rothstein, Kyle Soppe, Marcel Louis-Jacques, Damian Dabrowski and Tom Carpenter.
