A full 2026 fantasy football mock draft turns into a masterclass in draft strategy as Ryan Wormeli, Andrew Erickson, Jake Ciely, and Nick Ercolano navigate a 12-team PPR league.
The crew examines the RB/WR balance through the early rounds with Puka Nacua (WR, LA Rams) and Bijan Robinson (RB, Atlanta Falcons), as well as the value of waiting on quarterbacks like Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) and Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears). Plus, what the risks and upsides are of attacking the TE position in the middle rounds.
If you're looking for fantasy football rankings, mock draft strategy, draft values, and late-round targets, this episode offers plenty of actionable draft strategy.

Alfredo Brown, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Derek Brown break down seven fantasy football running backs they are avoiding at current ADP in 2026 drafts.

Find out why De’Von Achane’s first-round/second-round price may be too risky in Miami, why Jadarian Price’s Seattle role could shrink, and why Jeremiyah Love’s Cardinals cost is hard to justify?

Who are the players you just keep finding yourself drafting in 2026 fantasy football? The Fantasy Pros crew is planting their flags on nine players they simply don't want to miss out on, even if it means taking them earlier than their current ADP.
Alfredo Brown, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Derek Brown go round by round through their favorite targets, starting with Zay Flowers, Javonte Williams, and DeVonta Smith in the early rounds. Then they get into some of their favorite middle-round swings, including Jameson Williams, Christian Watson, and Josh Downs.
And when it comes to the later rounds, there are plenty of upside bets to consider. Kyler Murray, Stefon Diggs, and Tyler Shough all make the list, with the guys explaining why they think each player could significantly outperform where they're currently being drafted.
If you're getting ready for your 2026 fantasy football drafts, these are the players the guys keep finding themselves clicking on — and the ones they don't want to leave the draft without.
