The 2024 NFL Hall of Fame game is just around the corner, meaning it’s time for fantasy football players to start preparing for their redraft leagues. Everyone knows practice makes perfect and there is no better way to practice than with the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator.
I am picking fifth in this 12-team, 1QB, and PPR-scoring redraft fantasy football mock draft. The lineup for this mock draft is one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, one flex and six bench spots. Let’s see how it turned out.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 1QB, PPR, Middle Pick
Round 1, Pick 5 – Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
While he has played for arguably the worst offense in the NFL the past two years, Hall has been outstanding for fantasy players. He was the RB8 on a points-per-game game basis as a rookie. Furthermore, the former Iowa State star was the RB2, averaging 20 PPR fantasy points per game from Week 5 through the end of last season. Hall was outstanding despite running behind the sixth-worst run-blocking offensive line in the NFL (per PFF). Expect him to be significantly better after the Jets vastly improved their offensive line.
Round 2, Pick 8 – Drake London (WR – ATL)
London has struggled in his career because of awful quarterback production. However, most wide receivers would struggle with catching every career pass from Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke. Thankfully, London won’t have that problem again with Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. on the roster. The former USC Trojan has averaged 10.7 PPR fantasy points per game in his career despite a 2.6% touchdown rate. He will have a breakout year in 2024 and finish as a top-12 wide receiver.
Round 3, Pick 5 – Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
I’m a fan of waiting on drafting a quarterback in a 1QB league this year, with several excellent late-round options for fantasy players. However, anyone who wants to use an early-round pick on a quarterback should target Mahomes. Last year, he had the worst fantasy season of his career, averaging fewer than 20.5 fantasy points per game for the first time as the starting quarterback. Yet, Mahomes is a value in the middle of the third round after the Chiefs added Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy this offseason.
Round 4, Pick 8 – Nico Collins (WR – HOU)
Collins was my favorite late-round pick in 2023 and it paid off. While fantasy players must draft him several rounds earlier this year, he is worth the price tag. The former Michigan Wolverine led the team in receptions (80), targets (109), receiving yards (1,297), touchdowns (eight) and fantasy points per game (17.4) last season. Tank Dell is coming off a significant leg injury, while Stefon Diggs is on the wrong side of 30 and has had back-to-back years with late-season struggles. Collins is Houston’s clear-cut No. 1 receiver.
Round 5, Pick 5 – Christian Kirk (WR – JAC)
The last time Kirk was Trevor Lawrence‘s go-to wide receiver, he ended the year as the WR12, averaging 14.2 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the veteran was the WR17, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game from Week 2 through Week 12, despite Calvin Ridley seeing a 20% target per route run rate during those contests last season (per Fantasy Points Data). With Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. challenging defenses downfield, expect Kirk to see plenty of easy targets in the middle of the field.
Round 6, Pick 8 – Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
I am a big believer in the great or late tight end draft strategy. However, I couldn’t pass up drafting Kincaid in the sixth round. Buffalo lost their top two wide receivers from last season’s squad, replacing them with Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman. The veteran receiver has been an afterthought the past few years, while the rookie didn’t stand out during mini-camp. Kincaid was outstanding as a rookie with Gabe Davis or Dawson Knox out of the lineup. He should lead the team in targets and touchdowns in 2024.
Round 7, Pick 5 – Zamir White (RB – LV)
White was the RB9, averaging 15.2 PPR fantasy points per game during the four weeks Josh Jacobs missed with an injury last year. He had the fourth-highest yards after contact per rushing attempt (3.06) among running backs with at least 30 attempts during those four weeks, ranking ahead of Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs (per Fantasy Points Data). The former Georgia product had 20 or more touches in every contest, totaling 100 or more scrimmage yards in all but one game. White is one of my must-have running backs.
Round 8, Pick 8 – Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)
The Chargers have had one of the top passing attacks the past few years. However, that will change under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman’s run-heavy offense. While the team’s wide receiver core is far from elite, McConkey could become a PPR star early in his rookie season. The former Georgia Bulldog has shined during offseason practices. More importantly, he is the likely candidate to adsorb a massive chunk of Keenan Allen‘s 150 targets from last year. Expect McConkey to quickly become Justin Herbert‘s go-to guy.
Round 9, Pick 5 – Nick Chubb (RB – CLE)
I’ve gone back and forth on Chubb this offseason. He is coming off a gruesome knee injury, putting his status for Week 1 in doubt. However, there is a video on social media of the veteran recently working out. Cleveland made some additions to their backfield, but they didn’t add anyone to suggest Chubb won’t play until Thanksgiving. He averaged 6.1 yards per rushing attempt and a 57% missed forced tackle rate before getting hurt last year (per Fantasy Points Data). Chubb could be a league-winner at his current ADP.
Round 10, Pick 8 – Curtis Samuel (WR – BUF)
Samuel had some positive fantasy moments during his three years with the Washington Commanders. However, injuries, poor quarterback production and an awful coaching staff led to him averaging only nine PPR fantasy points per game over the past three seasons. However, there is hope for the veteran receiver in Buffalo. The last time he played for offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Samuel averaged 14.1 fantasy points per game with the Carolina Panthers. While many believe Keon Coleman will turn into Josh Allen‘s top wide receiver, my money is on the veteran.
Round 11, Pick 5 – Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)
While he doesn’t have the same upside as Jayden Reed or Christian Watson, Doubs is an appealing double-digit round target this year. He was the WR36 in 2023, averaging 10.3 PPR fantasy points per game. Doubs had the eighth-most receiving touchdowns in the NFL (eight), finishing seventh among wide receivers. Furthermore, the former Nevada star led the Packers in targets (95), end zone targets (16) and receiving first downs (41) last season (per Fantasy Points Data). Doubs is the perfect bye-week replacement receiver for my team.
Round 12, Pick 8 – Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA)
Dynasty fantasy football players pushed Wright up in their rookie rankings after the Dolphins traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the former Tennessee Volunteer. He had an outstanding final college season, posting the second-best yards after contact per attempt average (4.35) among running backs with at least 60 rushing attempts in the rookie class last year (per PFF). Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane have struggled to stay healthy in their careers. Don’t be surprised if Wright is a league winner as a rookie.
Round 13, Pick 5 – Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)
Devin Singletary is a solid veteran. However, Tracy is one of my favorite late-round running back draft targets. He earned the 10th-highest rushing grade in the rookie class from PFF last season (90.5). Furthermore, Tracy ranked first in yards after contact per attempt in the rookie class among running backs with at least 90 attempts in 2023, per PFF (4.44). He is also a threat in the passing game, giving the Giants a weapon out of the backfield. If Singletary struggles, Tracy could quickly earn a larger role on offense.
Round 14, Pick 8 – D’Onta Foreman (RB – CLE)
Whenever I draft Nick Chubb, I make it a priority to grab Foreman with my last-round pick. Last year, he was the RB11 from Week 6 through Week 10, averaging 14.2 PPR fantasy points per game with Khalil Herbert out of the lineup. While Jerome Ford was a solid player last season, he struggled on the ground, totaling four yards per rushing attempt and only four touchdowns. Expect Foreman to be Cleveland’s leading rusher, with Ford being the passing down back until Chubb is healthy.
