The best way to become an expert at something is to obsess over the material and practice daily. To become the best drafter in your league, you must run through fantasy football mock drafts daily to see how the board will break for you when the real deal occurs. The average draft position (ADP) of players can change rapidly depending on injuries, preseason games, or even when a beat reporter writes a new article about their team. Today, we will guide you through a mock draft for a 12-team Superflex Point Per Reception (PPR) team from the fifth position.

For anyone new to fantasy football, Superflex means you have a position within your starting roster that can be either a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or tight end. This changes how you approach your draft, as the quarterback position becomes more valuable. Additionally, the PPR scoring means receptions count as an extra point, so we tend to lean towards players who become target hogs in their offense.

With all this said, let’s break down our draft to show you how we finished with an A grade from our FREE Mock Draft Wizard.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex

1.05: Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL)

Whenever you can draft the reigning MVP, you do it. Lamar Jackson brings Konami Code-upside to your team that can help you break the league. Not only do you get a complete passer, but you get one of the best running quarterbacks in the league. Jackson ranked first in rushing yards per game, third in red zone carries, and fourth in rushing touchdowns last season. Starting the draft with Jackson provides a huge positional advantage.

2.08: Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)

Another Konami Code QB in the second round will allow you to elevate your fantasy floor and blow the roof off this team. Jayden Daniels is a legitimate rusher who provides enough velocity in his throws to make a difference in the passing game. Whenever you can draft a player who is fundamentally sound in his throws and possesses excellent escape skills when the blitz arrives, you must draft him.

3.05: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

Our team is following a youth movement to start this draft as we select our second rookie. Marvin Harrison Jr. comes with prestige attached to his family, as his dad was one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. However, his bloodline isn’t the only reason we need to acknowledge him; his skill is out of this world. Harrison is a versatile player who has some of the best body control we have ever seen from his position. His speed is consistent enough to threaten vertically, and drops are never an issue with those sure hands he possesses. Kyler Murray will finally get back WR1 since the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, and Harrison should be peppered early and often.

4.08: Drake London (WR – ATL)

The Atlanta Falcons are a legitimate threat in the NFC this season. That’s because the Falcons finally gave their weapons a quarterback in Kirk Cousins. One of those weapons, Drake London, will help lead us to victory in our leagues. London commanded a 23% target share with a 31% air yard share. Combine those stats with the fact that Falcons’ wide receivers face one of the easiest strengths of schedules this year and we could have a season where Drake London dominates and finally punches these receptions into the endzone for the touchdowns we so desperately covet.

5.05: Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)

When we can draft a bell-cow running back on our team in the fifth round, we do it. Josh Jacobs is playing with the Green Bay Packers this year and finally gets to play on one of the best offenses this season. If you have listened to any of the interviews coming from Green Bay, the coaching staff wants to use Josh Jacobs even more in the passing game, allowing him to stay on the field for all three downs. We have seen Jacobs get two seasons of 50+ receptions plus four straight seasons of 45+ targets, so it’s clear that he can contribute in the passing game, too. Jacobs has two running backs behind him, but neither should threaten due to their lack of talent (AJ Dillon) or their injury proneness (MarShawn Lloyd).

6.08: Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

Drafting Alvin Kamara in the sixth round in a PPR league is like Christmas on draft day. Kamara has never had a season below 65 targets. He’s also produced three seasons in his career of 100+ targets. We know the Saints’ offense needs him because they lack talent in their other positions. Kamara is aging, but for redraft, we can squeeze out one more season at a position where volume is king.

7.05: Tank Dell (WR – HOU)

Combine Tank Dell’s incredible separation ability with his 31% air-yard share, and you have a weapon playing on one of the best offenses this season. The arrival of Stefon Diggs does hamper his ceiling a bit for your fantasy team, but after producing a 20.5% target share last season, expect Dell to still contribute in a significant way in 2024.

8.08: Jayden Reed (WR – GB)

Reed is another wide receiver with significant talent who does not see the field consistently enough to have a higher ADP. Although he plays a substantial role in the Packers offense, his snap share gets limited when the Packers utilize their plethora of wide receivers in 12 formation. However, he can run routes with the best of them and create separation, which could allow him to break through his ceiling for fantasy football in 2024.

9.05: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA)

We have another year two wide receiver looking poised for a breakout in 2024. Smith-Njigba’s strong lower half makes it hard to take him down, and his attention to detail in his routes allows him to get open more than most. His game has shades of Julian Edelman to it, and with Tyler Lockett aging while Ryan Grubb’s pass-happy offense takes over in Seattle, Smith-Njigba can shine in 2024.

10.08: Zach Moss (RB – CIN)

The Bengals love to use one running back inside the ten-yard line. Last year, Joe Mixon was in the top-five on carries inside five yards. This year, Moss has the chance to take this ball and run with it (no pun intended), as Chase Brown’s lack of vision leads to too many inefficient runs.

11.05: Jake Ferguson (TE – DAL)

With CeeDee Lamb holding out, capturing a wild Jake Ferguson (Pokémon reference for the win!) is the way to win fantasy football in 2024. Even if Lamb returns, Ferguson will be the second option in this high-flying offense. He led all tight ends in red zone targets, and his role as “WR2” for Dak Prescott means we will see even more of that this season.

12.08: Geno Smith (QB – SEA)

In a Superflex league, we need a third quarterback to build the correct depth at a position with two quarterbacks typically starting each week. We also create a stack with Jaxon Smith-Njigba to help raise our fantasy team’s potential this year. Additionally, Geno Smith should see an uptick in pass attempts with his new offensive coordinator leaning into a pass-happy scheme.

13.05: Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)

Another “WR2” for an NFL team that was a reception machine in years past. This year, Freiermuth enters 2024 with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who has a history of peppering his tight end. With the PPR scoring, we cannot pass on this opportunity in the 13th round.
