![]() It's not that hard to leave a draft with a top-eight QB, which for me includes: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Fields, Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. The middle rounds are where it's at: I never drafted a tier-one QB (Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts), but I almost always drafted someone from my second tier, which I've kinda fallen in love with. ![]() I did six PPR drafts: three 10-team leagues and three 12-team leagues.ĭraft slots: In the 10-team leagues, I drafted second, fifth and eighth, and in the 12-team leagues I drafted first, fourth and fifth.Įach position on your roster is going to be impacted by a different draft strategy, so how did drafting Kelce in the first round impact my teams? After looking back at my mock rosters, I've included a few notes below about each key position, followed by a larger breakdown of my favorite team from this exercise at the end of the column. This is not an exercise in me telling you which players to draft, but rather how a Kelce-centric draft strategy played out for me. I'm drafting based on my rankings, so your teams may look totally different based on how you value certain players. There was only one rule I had for this exercise: Always take Travis Kelce with my first-round pick. Grabbing him as your starting TE gives you such a big advantage over the rest of your leaguemates, but it also means you need to prepare a little differently for the draft. I had one draft where I was able to grab him eighth, but I think that's the exception this year, not the rule. I had to throw away more mock drafts than I kept, because he didn't fall to the end of the round. Kelce's current ADP is 5.6, which means he's being drafted fifth overall. More than 100 fantasy points! He's like a cheat code at the position, and given the QB he plays with we're all expecting big things again this season. Last season, he scored over 100 fantasy points more than the No. This is a new one, at least for me, but we're finally giving Kelce the love he deserves for being the greatest fantasy TE in the game. Today's strategy: Draft Travis Kelce in the first round In case you missed them, here are the first three mock trials I detailed: I'll share my biggest takeaways from the mocks I take part in, as well as some of my draft preferences, with the hope of giving you something to consider when you go through the exercise yourself. ![]() The TL/DR version is that I'm doing a series of mock drafts in which I practice different draft strategies to better understand the draft board before I get into an actual fantasy draft. It's all under the umbrella of why you should mock draft often. Welcome to Part 4 of my fantasy football mock draft series. ![]() We now know it will be a multiweek injury, potentially causing him to miss the start of the season, so his draft stock will slide a little as a result.
