Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Way Too Early Redraft (2024)

Welcome to our Way Too Early Fantasy Football Mock Draft. This is a redraft format with a 1QB, PPR scoring format league with 10 teams. Drafting from the 7th position, I’ll share my picks and provide analysis for each selection. Follow along with all of the picks below and let us know what you think of the final team! Let’s dive in.

Round 1, Pick 7: Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets

Breece Hall has quickly established himself as a dynamic playmaker in the Jets’ backfield. Despite coming off an ACL injury, Hall’s rookie season showcased his elite vision, breakaway speed, and pass-catching ability. With a full season under his belt since his injury, and with the Jets’ offense looking to improve, Hall is poised for a breakout year, making him a solid pick at 1.07. His potential to rack up both rushing and receiving yards makes him an essential PPR asset, and could potentially vault him into the RB2 spot behind Christian McCaffrey.

Round 2, Pick 4: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals

Rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely regarded as one of the top wide receiver prospects in recent memory. His size, speed, and precise route-running make him a defensive nightmare. As the Buckeyes’ primary target, Harrison Jr. showed how much he could dominate at the collegiate level, and he projects to be an immediate impact player in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. Drafting him at 2.04 could provide significant upside, especially on a team that has been void of a true WR1 since De’Andre Hopkins departed.

Round 3, Pick 7: De’Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins

Coming off a very tantalizing rookie campaign, De’Von Achane’s speed and versatility make him an intriguing fantasy option. With the Dolphins’ high-octane offense, Achane should see plenty of opportunities to make plays both on the ground and through the air. Additionally, his ability to break off big plays and contribute in the passing game makes him a valuable asset in PPR leagues.

Furthermore, Achane’s off-the-charts efficiency in his first NFL season and his whopping 7.8 yards per carry is worth noting. Drafting Achane at 3.07 offers the potential for explosive fantasy production and becomes a league-winning pick if he reaches his full potential on the field.

Round 4, Pick 4: Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants

Another rookie wide receiver? Why not. Malik Nabers emerged as a top receiving threat for LSU, showcasing his ability to make contested catches and generate yards after the catch. His chemistry with the quarterback and knack for finding the end zone makes him a high-upside pick in the fourth round. Like MHJ, Nabers has landed with a team that is void of receiving talent and will receive a heavy workload. In any format, but especially PPR, Nabers will likely provide a great return on investment.

Round 5, Pick 7: CJ Stroud, QB, Houston Texans

CJ Stroud has seamlessly transitioned to the NFL, displaying poise and accuracy as the Texans’ starting quarterback. His ability to distribute the ball effectively and make plays with his legs adds to his fantasy appeal. Drafting Stroud at 5.07 provides solid value, especially in a league where quarterbacks are crucial to success. Overall, his potential for growth in his sophomore season makes him a worthy investment.

Round 6, Pick 4: Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons

Regardless of the production we’ve seen so far, Kyle Pitts’ talent is undeniable. Despite a somewhat disappointing sophomore season, his upside remains immense. Pitts’ size, speed, and route-running ability make him a matchup nightmare for defenses. In a PPR format, his target volume and potential for big plays make him an attractive option at tight end. All in all, grabbing Pitts at the 6.04 could provide significant returns if he lives up to his potential.

Round 7, Pick 7: Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns

Amari Cooper continues to be a reliable fantasy asset, thanks to his consistent production and role as the primary receiver for the Browns. Cooper’s route-running precision and ability to generate separation make him a valuable PPR asset. Drafting him at 7.07 offers a steady source of points, particularly in a format that rewards receptions.

Round 8, Pick 4: Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Najee Harris remains a focal point of the Steelers’ offense, providing value both as a rusher and receiver. Despite a sophomore slump, Harris’ workload and role in the passing game make him a valuable pick in the 8th round. While Jaylen Warren has shown flashes and gets some solid work, Harris is going to be the lead back as long as he’s in this offense. In a PPR format, his ability to catch passes out of the backfield adds to his fantasy appeal, making him a solid RB2 option.

Round 9, Pick 7: Ladd McConkey, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

A third rookie wide receiver? Ladd McConkey‘s rise at Georgia was impressive, showcasing his speed and playmaking ability. As a reliable target in the Bulldogs’ offense, McConkey has the potential to make an impact at the next level, with Justin Herbert looking for his new WR1. After losing basically all of their offensive weapons in Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Austin Ekeler, the Chargers have mounds of target-share available. Drafting McConkey at 9.07 offers upside, particularly in PPR leagues where his catch volume can translate into valuable fantasy points.

Round 10, Pick 4: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s talent was evident during his time at Ohio State, and he has the potential to become a key player for the Seahawks. Notably, his ability to run precise routes and make tough catches makes him a promising fantasy option. Drafting him at 10.04 provides potential upside, especially if he can carve out a significant role in Seattle’s offense.

Round 11, Pick 7: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings

T.J. Hockenson has become one of the top tight ends in the league thanks to his reliable hands and ability to make plays in the red zone. This could be the real league winner of this draft. Recently, I talked about Hockenson and the Vikings’ outlook for 2024 here.

Hockenson has fallen far in ADP due to injury concerns and the change in the Vikings’ starting quarterback. Additionally, he is recovering from an ACL and MCL injury, which will likely leave him sidelined for a portion of the season. Furthermore, there are major questions about how the Vikings offense will function without Kirk Cousins at the helm. Thus, assuming things fall in Hockenson’s favor, it is possible that he could come on strong late in the year to help you win your league.

Round 12, Pick 4: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert has established himself as one of the premier quarterbacks in the NFL thanks to his strong arm and ability to make plays under pressure. Drafting Herbert at 12.04 provides tremendous value, as his potential for high yardage and touchdowns makes him a top fantasy quarterback. All in all, his ability to spread the ball around and generate points consistently makes him a great late-round pick.

Round 13, Pick 7: Jaylen Wright, RB, Miami Dolphins

Rookie Jaylen Wright‘s emergence at Tennessee was a pleasant surprise, showcasing his ability to break off big plays and contribute in the passing game. Drafting Wright at 13.07 offers upside, particularly if he continues to develop and is able to carve out a significant role in the Dolphins’ offense. For this draft, he makes a considerably valuable asset as a handcuff to Achane.

Round 14, Pick 4: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns

Jerry Jeudy’s talent has always been evident. Despite some inconsistencies, his potential remains high. Jeudy’s route-running and ability to make plays after the catch make him a valuable late-round pick. His target volume and ability to generate yards can translate into valuable fantasy points in a PPR format. Drafting him at 14.04 provides potential upside, especially if he can stay healthy and develop chemistry with his quarterback.
