Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: Dalton Kincaid, Zamir White, George Pickens (Fantasy Football)

While the 2024 NFL season is still months away, that doesn’t matter to dynasty fantasy football players. Now is the perfect time for a dynasty startup draft, with the NFL Draft almost here. And there’s no better way to complete a FREE fantasy football mock draft than via our mock draft simulator.

I am picking sixth in this 12-team, 1-QB, half-PPR dynasty mock draft. The lineup for this mock draft is 1-QB/2-RB/2-WR/1-TE/3-Flex and six bench spots.

Let’s see how it turned out. Here is my full dynasty startup mock draft. Below we dive into a few notable picks.

Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: 1QB, Half-PPR

Pick 5.06 – Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)

Dalton Kincaid was the TE11, averaging 7.1 fantasy points per game as a rookie. Unfortunately, he was inconsistent for fantasy players, as the tight end struggled to see consistent targets. However, the former Utah star was outstanding when Dawson Knox or Gabe Davis missed time, averaging 12.8 fantasy points per game from Week 7 through Week 10 with Knox out of the lineup. With Stefon Diggs in Houston and Davis signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kincaid could have a Trey McBride sophomore-year breakout.

Pick 6.07 – George Pickens (WR – PIT)

Unfortunately, George Pickens has been one of the more frustrating players to roster in fantasy football. Yet, he could be a fantasy star after the Steelers traded away Diontae Johnson. Pickens was the WR13, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game during the four weeks Johnson was hurt last season. Unless Pittsburgh uses their first-round pick in the NFL Draft on a wide receiver, I’m buying Pickens having a breakout year in 2024.

Pick 7.06 – Zamir White (RB – LV)

While the Raiders could select a running back on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, crushing Zamir White’s fantasy value, I will take a chance on him at this point of the mock draft. Alexander Mattison isn’t a threat to White having a featured role next year. The second-year running back was the RB8, averaging 14.1 fantasy points per game during the four weeks as the starter in 2023. Head coach Antonio Pierce wants to run the ball, making White a potential fantasy stud next season.
