With August right around the corner, we have returned to draft season. As someone who plays fantasy football, I know this is our Christmas, Disneyland and euphoria. Finally, we get to take all our research from the offseason and implement it to dominate within our leagues and build our legacy. One way to prepare for fantasy drafts is to complete fantasy football mock drafts to see how the average draft position (ADP) will play out. Make sure to use our FREE mock draft simulator tool for your fantasy football mock draft practice needs.
Today, we will work on a PPR Superflex fantasy football mock draft with a late-round pick. We will draft from the 10th spot in a 12-team Superflex league. The goal is to show you how to read the board and control your destiny. Let’s get to it with our first pick of this fantasy football mock draft, where we make our first surprise selection.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: PPR, Superflex, Late Pick
1.10: CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)
Most people go QB-heavy to start their Superflex draft due to the added positional value. However, we know there are only a few picks until it’s our turn again, and it’s hard to pass up on a WR1 who will be hyper-targeted within a high-scoring offense. CeeDee Lamb produced over 100 yards in seven of his final 12 games and was in the top five in target share in the NFL. Lamb wasn’t done there, as he was fifth in yards per route run and eighth in first downs per route run.
Hopefully, we will build the stack with Dak Prescott in the second round and create a high ceiling from the beginning of this draft.
2.03: Dak Prescott (QB – DAL)
Our dreams have come true as we complete the stack in the second round. In my opinion, Dak Prescott should have been the MVP. He led all quarterbacks in touchdowns and completions and finished last year as QB3 in the NFL. He doesn’t offer much running, so we swerve from our usual Konami Code quarterback, but when you have a quarterback who can complete a high percentage of passes in a potent offense, you draft that every time.
3.10: Chris Olave (WR – NO)
We are straying from our usual with yet another non-QB selection. However, Chris Olave is a player we can not skip over. We watched him grow last season, even in a disappointing year. Olave gave us new highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards and fantasy points per game (PPG). This year, the Saints’ offense has a new coordinator introducing more motion and fewer vanilla plays to allow their best players like Olave to shine.
4.03: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)
We are pushing down a second quarterback for our roster in this draft because the players we are drafting are just perfect gifts at this ADP. Kyren Williams is a workhorse within a solid offense. Yes, Blake Corum is in town. However, they will use him as a spell/injury backup plan player. Williams was too talented and produced too well for Sean McVay to fade him this year. If McVay won’t fade him, neither shall we.
5.10: James Cook (RB – BUF)
James Cook had a fantastic end to his season under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Cook (from Weeks 11-18) was the RB11, averaging 19.6 touches and over 100 yards a game. This year, the Bills have made little movement to enhance their passing game, which makes us believe James Cook will be a focal point in this offense in 2024.
6.03: Deshaun Watson (QB – CLE)
Remember that old phrase “Risk it for the Biscuit”? Well, that’s what we did here without a second quarterback, which allowed us to build talent elsewhere. Watson is scary, but we know he has the skill and ability hidden within him. He now has a passing core of Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and David Njoku. The time is now for Watson to return to his former glory, especially with Nick Chubb returning from a gruesome injury — high risk but high reward with this pick.
7.10: Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
One of my favorite rules in fantasy is to draft good players from good teams. With the Bills trading away Stefon Diggs and allowing Gabe Davis to leave in free agency, Dalton Kincaid becomes the primary target for Josh Allen. Whenever I can grab a hyper-targeted tight end, I draft him every time.
8.03: Calvin Ridley (WR – TEN)
Sign me up for a WR1 on his team in the eighth round of every draft. Calvin Ridley had an inefficient season last year despite producing a 21.6% target share. New Titans head coach Brian Callahan wants to use him like Ja’Marr Chase was used in his prior offense. That’s more than enough for me to take a swing on Ridley.
9.10: Zack Moss (RB – CIN)
There are questions about whether he will be the lead back in the Cincinnati offense, but when it comes to the goal line, I believe Zack Moss has the edge over Chase Brown to start the season. Moss showed last season he can handle the workload. When he started for an injured Jonathan Taylor, he averaged 21.1 touches and 98.5 total yards. In the ninth round, I’ll swing at the running back from a potent offense that loves to focus on a singular back inside the five.
10.03: Will Levis (QB – TEN)
Risky with upside while completing a stack with our QB3 in this draft slot. There isn’t much more you can ask for in the 10th round. Will Levis has been given all the toys possible to succeed this year. We know hw has a cannon of an arm; the accuracy holds him back. Considering the risk we have built in with Deshaun Watson, I’m willing to take a third quarterback early.
Hopefully, Levis will take off and we will have two quarterbacks on our roster with a stacked player attached to carry us.
Rounds 11-15
- 11.10: Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
- 12.03: Curtis Samuel (WR – BUF)
- 13.10: Dallas Goedert (TE – PHI)
- 14.03: Jahan Dotson (WR – WAS)
- 15.10: Dontayvion Wicks (WR – GB)
Our bench has a straightforward approach: Upside wide receivers. We know we have three running backs on this roster who can be used, so we stopped there to focus on wide receivers. We know there will likely be a back to pick-up in waiver decisions within the first few weeks, but we hope to hit a dart on a wide receiver outperforming their ADP.
We have players like Dontayvion Wicks and Jameson Williams, who have immense potential within a potent offense to surpass their ADPs. We have players like Curtis Samuel, who can emerge as the WR1 for Josh Allen, and another former first-round wide receiver looking to bounce back in Jahan Dotson. This bench is about the upside because if even one of these players hits, our team is sitting pretty within our league.
