Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Derrick Henry, Diontae Johnson, Blake Corum (2024)

Rookie drafts are all the rage right now, but why not immerse ourselves in a good old-fashioned PPR redraft fantasy football mock draft romp? After all, we can take rookies there, too, right?

For this fantasy football mock draft exercise, I picked from the fourth spot, with the rosters consisting of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 K, 1 D/ST and five bench spots. It’s never too early to start your draft prep, so take advantage of all the tools at FantasyPros, including the FREE fantasy football mock draft simulator.

Here are all of my picks and reasoning from my recent fantasy football mock draft. Below we dive into a few notable fantasy football mock draft picks.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Picks & Results

Let’s dive into our latest fantasy football mock draft for a 12-team, PPR league with an early pick.

3.04: Derrick Henry (RB – BAL)

I got him anyway! Everyone keeps waiting for the wheels to fall off on Henry, but he keeps throwing it right back in their faces. Admittedly the snap share did decrease (54.2%) last season, but Henry still managed to finish second in the league in rushing yards and scored 12 TDs. On a Ravens squad that has led the league in rushing % for four seasons, a 1200-yard, 10TD season should be considered the floor for Henry.

7.04: Diontae Johnson (WR – CAR)

I’m curious to see where Diontae Johnson’s ADP will ultimately fall as the summer months progress, and he may be too expensive if his Carolina hype continues. Johnson’s efficiency and opportunity are dropping as he gets on in years, but his volume remains elite as he logged 134 targets last season. He should immediately step in as the Panthers’ WR1, and his route-running precision should be amazing for Bryce Young‘s development. I love him as a WR4/FLEX.

11.04: Blake Corum (RB – LAR)

I’m a big fan of taking Blake Corum late in drafts. Kyren Williams was a revelation last season, but he’s already having foot issues on the same foot that has plagued him in his career. As my Williams rankings dropped, my Corum ranks have risen. Corum is a quintessential “wait-and-see” player who could pay big dividends for the stretch run if Williams is hurt and/or managed.
