Way Too Early Fantasy Football Mock Draft – Superflex

The 2024 NFL regular season is still a few months away. However, it’s never too early to prepare for your redraft leagues. The best way to prepare is with mock drafts.

I am picking 9th overall in this 10-team, Superflex, and PPR-scoring mock. The lineup for this mock draft is one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, two flex, one Superflex, and five bench spots.

My plan for this mock draft was to use my first two picks at the quarterback position while waiting until the middle rounds to grab my first running back. Let’s dive into it!

Pick 1-9: Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Some forgot how much of a fantasy star Murray has been in his career. He wasn’t 100% last season after suffering a torn ACL in 2022. However, the quarterback averaged 20.4 fantasy points per game over the first four seasons of his career. Furthermore, the veteran was a top-seven quarterback on a points-per-game basis in three years. Arizona improved their offensive line in free agency and added Marvin Harrison Jr. during the NFL Draft. Don’t be surprised if Murray has a top-five finish in 2024.

Pick 2-2: Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Love had doubters heading into his first year as the starter. He began the season averaging three passing touchdowns and 21.7 fantasy points per game over the first two weeks. After hitting a slump, Love proved he is a franchise-caliber quarterback. The former Utah State star was the QB2 over the final seven games of the fantasy season, averaging 2.3 passing touchdowns and 21.6 fantasy points per contest. He has an exciting young core of receiving options, giving him significant fantasy upside.

Pick 3-9: Nico Collins, Houston Texans

Many called Collins a breakout candidate last year. He had his first top-12 finish in 2023 despite missing time with injuries. The former Michigan star led the team in receptions (80), targets (109), receiving yards (1,297), and touchdowns (eight) after becoming a go-to target for C.J. Stroud. While Tank Dell is a talented receiver, Collins is still the No. 1 guy in Houston. Furthermore, Stefon Diggs isn’t a threat to his role as the top receiver after the veteran had back-to-back years with late-season struggles.

Pick 4-2: Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

Fantasy rankings won’t have Olave in the same tier as Garrett Wilson or Drake London. Yet, Olave was the only one of the three to finish in the top 25 last season. He was the WR16, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game despite ranking 28th among wide receivers in receiving touchdowns (five). Derek Carr and Olave struggled to connect in their first year together. However, fantasy players should have high hopes for the star receiver after the Saints hired Klint Kubiak as their offensive coordinator.

Pick 5-9: Malik Nabers, New York Giants

Nabers would have a third-round ADP if he was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers during the NFL Draft. However, the former LSU star will still be one of my favorite targets in redraft leagues despite getting drafted by the Giants. According to PFF, Nabers ranked first in the draft class among wide receivers with at least 20 targets last year (3.64). The rookie will see a massive target share, even if Darren Waller plays this upcoming season.

Pick 6-2: Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars

The veteran was the biggest winner from Calvin Ridley signing with the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Kirk had three receiving touchdowns in 2023 after totaling a career-high eight in his first season with Jacksonville. While the Jaguars added Gabe Davis in free agency and used their first-round pick on Brian Thomas Jr., the veteran will remain Trevor Lawrence’s go-to guy. The last time he was the team’s No. 1 target, Kirk was the WR12, averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game.

Pick 7-9: Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers

Reportedly, Brooks should be 100% healthy by the start of training camp. Therefore, expect his ADP to rise over the next several weeks. Chuba Hubbard had solid moments last year. However, he is an average runner. Meanwhile, Miles Sanders was a massive flop in his first season with the team and might not be on the roster come Week 1. Brooks will become Dave Canales’ new version of Rachaad White and have a massive role on the ground and in the air.

Pick 8-2: Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers

Johnson has been held back by awful quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement. While many believe the veteran receiver will continue to struggle with Bryce Young, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The young quarterback struggled last year because he didn’t have receivers who could consistently separate. That won’t be the case with Johnson. While Carolina added multiple pass catchers during the NFL Draft, none of them can challenge Johnson for the No. 1 wide receiver role.

Pick 9-9: Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs

Landing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs helped Worthy’s fantasy value. While everyone talks about his record-breaking 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the former Longhorn is an impressive route runner who could quickly become Mahomes’ go-to wide receiver, especially with Rashee Rice’s recent off-the-field issues. Even if the rookie turns into Kansas City’s next Skyy Moore or Kadarius Toney, he has too much upside to pass on drafting at this point of the mock draft.

Pick 10-2: Zamir White, Las Vegas Raiders

White was the RB9, averaging 15.2 fantasy points per game during the four weeks as the starter last year, seeing at least 20 touches in every matchup. While some thought Las Vegas would add a running back early during the NFL Draft, the team wanted until the sixth round to select Dylan Laube. Furthermore, the team spent multiple Day 2 picks improving its offensive line. Head coach Antonio Pierce’s goal is to run the ball and play defense, making White one of my must-have running backs this year.

Pick 11-9: Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys

While there are several talented tight ends fantasy players who can draft, Ferguson is my favorite late-round target this year. He ended last season as the TE9, averaging 10.4 fantasy points per game. More importantly, the young star was Dak Prescott’s clear-cut No. 2 target behind CeeDee Lamb, ranking second on the team in receptions (71), targets (102), and receiving yards (761). Ferguson should have a larger role this season after the Cowboys lost Michael Gallup and Tony Pollard in free agency.

Pick 12-2: Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers

Edwards was arguably the biggest winner from the NFL Draft. Instead of taking Blake Corum in the third round, Los Angeles waited until the sixth to draft a running back. While some think Kimani Vidal can eventually take over as the starter, Edwards is coming off the best year of his career. The veteran had 13 rushing touchdowns in 2023, the fifth-most in the NFL. Edwards is an outstanding safe floor running back pick, even in PPR leagues.

Pick 13-9: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Fantasy players should always leave their Superflex drafts with at least three starting quarterbacks. However, I could wait until the end of the mock draft to select my QB3. Nix won’t get into my starting lineup other than when Kyler Murray and Jordan Love have their bye week or if they get hurt. The rookie is all but guaranteed to start Week 1. More importantly, Nix has a solid set of weapons, including fellow former Duck star Troy Franklin.

Pick 14-2: Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins

Miami traded a future third-round pick during the NFL Draft to select Wright, showing their significant interest in the rookie. Some might push him down in their redraft rankings because he landed in a crowded backfield. However, that would be a mistake. Raheem Mostert is an older running back with an injury history. Meanwhile, De’Von Achane struggled to stay healthy as a rookie. Wright is built perfectly for Miami’s offense. While it might not happen in Week 1, he will be fantasy-relevant this year.
