The NFL draft and free agency are behind us, coaching staffs and rosters are set, and training camp is just a couple of months away. That means it’s time for fantasy football fanatics to start gearing up for the 2021 campaign!
With that in mind, we gathered our fantasy football experts to kick off the season with our first mock draft, a 10-team PPR format. For those new to fantasy, that means every time one of your players catches a pass, he earns one extra fantasy point.
And whether you’re a newbie or a grizzled veteran, everyone benefits from taking part in a few mock drafts before your real ones, so you can shake off the cobwebs and get your bearings.
Take a look below to see how the early rounds fleshed out, where the top quarterbacks went, and who the top rookies are — then follow along with the Fantasy Focus Podcast crew, as they break down all of the notable picks.
