For the majority of fantasy managers, draft season is over. The big day came and went, and their teams for the upcoming season have been assembled. There may be a preseason waiver pass, but for the most part, the guys you've got are the guys you've got—for better or worse.

However, there's still one more big draft weekend—Labor Day weekend. Some fantasy managers prefer to put off drafting as long as possible. To glean as much information as possible before sitting down to make their picks. To know which players are injured and will open the season on injured reserve or the PUP list. To know who the surprise cuts are. How the league's open position battles turned out.

A pretty compelling argument can be made for the wisdom of that course of action, because players are being drafted in significantly different positions than they were just a few weeks ago. Some are climbing the ladder. Others have slid down the proverbial chute.

And you thought you were done playing that game.

In order to give those late drafters an opportunity to see how draft positions have changed, here's a look at a 12-team PPR draft that took place just a few days ago. This is no "mock." This collection of fantasy analysts, veterans in the game and even a wildly talented mystery writer will be playing this bad boy out. It was for keepsies.

And while the first pick wasn't a surprise, there were plenty along the way—including this guy drafting a team he actually doesn't hate.

Round 1

1.01: Christian McCaffrey, RB, SF

1.02: Tyreek Hill, WR, MIA

1.03: Bijan Robinson, RB, ATL

1.04: CeeDee Lamb, WR, DAL

1.05: Breece Hall, RB, NYJ

1.06: Justin Jefferson, WR, MIN

1.07: Saquon Barkley, RB, PHI

1.08: Garrett Wilson, WR, NYJ

1.09: Ja'Marr Chase, WR, CIN

1.10: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, DET

1.11: Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND

1.12: A.J. Brown, WR, PHI

St. Bargain

For the most part, the top eight picks in fantasy drafts are set—Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson at running back and Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown…in some order.

However, in this draft, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson both went earlier than expected, which dropped St. Brown to the No. 10 slot. That's fantastic value for a player who ranked inside the top five last year in targets, receptions, receiving yards, receiving scores and PPR points.

If only he had fallen one spot farther.

My Pick

This analyst has been picking from the back end of Round 1 with regularity this year (So much for "random" draft slots, and the plan has been relatively simple. If one of my top-five running backs for 2024 is available, grab him. If not, a player like Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is a fine consolation prize.

It has been a couple years since Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts led the league in rushing in 2021—in fact, he has fewer rushing yards in the last two seasons combined. But Taylor is an unquestioned workhorse back who could challenge for the overall top spot at the position if things fall the right way.

Besides, I'm a tad old-school—just can't pass on an elite running back.

Round 2

2.01: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, DET

2.02: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, ARI

2.03: Drake London, WR, ATL

2.04: Davante Adams, WR, LV

2.05: Puka Nacua, WR, LAR

2.06: Travis Etienne, RB, JAX

2.07: Mike Evans, WR, TB

2.08: Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR

2.09: De'Von Achane, RB, MIA

2.10: Nico Collins, WR, HOU

2.11: Derrick Henry, RB, BAL

2.12: Chris Olave, WR, NO

His Kupp Runneth Over

Round 2 of this draft was dominated by wide receivers—eight wideouts were selected in the round, including one whose ADP has spiked a bit as we near the conclusion of draft season.

Not that long ago, Cooper Kupp was being selected multiple rounds behind teammate Puka Nacua. On some level that was understandable—while Nacua was re-writing the rookie record books last year, Kupp was missing five games (his second straight season missing at least that many) and failing to hit 1,000 receiving yards.

But with Nacua nursing a knee injury and amid positive reports from Rams camp about Kupp, the 31-year-old's ADP has now climbed to the point to where in this draft he was taken just a few picks after Nacua.

The Kupp discount is no more.

My Pick

This one was a bit odd for me—I have spent much of the summer proclaiming that drafting a rookie wide receiver inside the top 10 at his position is a tall ask—even for a player as talented as Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals.

But passing on wide receivers altogether in this spot wasn't really a viable plan, and for once I decided to roll the dice on a player who may well be the most talented wideout to enter the league in years. There is nothing that Harrison doesn't already do at an elite level—and he should be a major part of the Cardinals offense from Day 1.

Round 3

3.01: Kyren Williams, RB, LAR

3.02: DK Metcalf, WR, SEA

3.03: D.J. Moore, WR, CHI

3.04: Josh Jacobs, RB, GB

3.05: Isiah Pacheco, RB, KC

3.06: Jaylen Waddle, WR, MIA

3.07: Sam LaPorta, TE, DET

3.08: Kenneth Walker III, RB, SEA

3.09: Alvin Kamara, RB, NO

3.10: Raheem Mostert, RB, MIA

3.11: Travis Kelce, TE, KC

3.12: Deebo Samuel, WR, SF

Kyren Song

Last season, Kyren Williams was one of fantasy football's biggest stars—Williams topped 1,300 total yards, scored 15 touchdowns and finished second among all running backs in PPR points per game. But Williams also missed five games, making him one of the riskier calls among the high-end running backs.

Now that risk has ratcheted up.

Per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, Williams will return punts for the Los Angeles Rams, with head coach Sean Mcvay stating that, "It's another opportunity for him to get touches and impact the game." It's also a chance for him to get his block knocked off, and it's fair to wonder how big a part of the ground game rookie Blake Corum will be if Williams is the primary punt returner.

My Pick

The days of Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs being the unquestioned No. 1 tight end in fantasy football may be over—he will turn 35 in October, missed time last year and failed to amass 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2016.

But Kelce was still the No. 1 tight end last year in terms of PPR points per game, and the last time he was targeted less than 120 times was once again all the way back in 2016. Provided the wheels don't come completely off in 2024, Kelce will be a focal point of one of the NFL's most potent offenses.

Round 4

4.01: Malik Nabers, WR, NYG

4.02: Rachaad White, RB, TB

4.03: Trey McBride, TE, ARI

4.04: James Cook, RB, BUF

4.05: Michael Pittman Jr., WR, IND

4.06: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF

4.07: Joe Mixon, RB, HOU

4.08: DeVonta Smith, WR, PHI

4.09: Amari Cooper, WR, CLE

4.10: Stefon Diggs, WR, HOU

4.11: James Conner, RB, ARI

4.12: Tee Higgins, WR, CIN

The Aiyuk Conundrum

Most of the NFL's contract impasses at the wide receiver position are now resolved or appear headed in that direction. CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys got his bag of cash. It's just a matter of time until Ja'Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals gets his after he reported to practice.

However, Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers don't appear to be any closer to coming to an agreement, whether it's a contract extension or a trade out of town. As a matter of fact, the NFL Network's Mike Garafalo characterized negotiations as being "stuck in the mud."

Given that quagmire, drafting last year's fantasy WR10 is a risky proposition—especially with the start of the regular season just over one week away.

My Pick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is about as exciting as a trip to get your teeth cleaned. On a per-touch basis last season, White was pedestrian, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and failing to rush for 1,000 yards.

However, White was also second in the NFL in carries last year, he caught 64 of 70 targets in the passing game and finished among the top five in PPR fantasy points. Tampa did little to improve the ground game this offseason, so White should sail past 300 touches again in 2024.

Round 5

5.01: Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI

5.02: Josh Allen, QB, BUF

5.03: Mark Andrews, TE, BAL

5.04: Zay Flowers, WR, BAL

5.05: Terry McLaurin, WR, WAS

5.06: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE

5.07: Patrick Mahomes, QB, KC

5.08: Zamir White, RB, LV

5.09: Aaron Jones, RB, MIN

5.10: Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL

5.11: Rashee Rice, WR, KC

5.12: Kyler Murray, QB, ARI

Quarterback Run (and Value)

If you have read much of my fantasy work, you know that I'm not a fan of drafting a quarterback early—the "edge" gained under center often isn't worth the deficiency it creates at running back or wide receiver.

But when the first quarterback doesn't come off the board until the fifth round, it's to argue with the pick. Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles came off the board 17 picks later than his current ADP. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills was an even bigger steal—he was drafted more than two full rounds behind ADP.

The selection of two quarterbacks to open Round 5 set off a run at the position—five of the 12 picks in Round 5 were signal-callers.

My Pick

Had Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson lasted one more pick, I would have pounced on the reigning NFL MVP. But that's how it goes in fantasy drafts—you are going to get sniped. Quite possibly more than once.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice emerged as Patrick Mahomes' No. 1 wide receiver, last year, catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven scores as a rookie. Rice's offseason legal issues have led many fantasy drafters to avoid him this summer, but at this point it doesn't appear his case(s) will be resolved before the conclusion of the 2024 regular season.

Round 6

6.01: Dalton Kincaid, TE, BUF

6.02: David Montgomery, RB, DET

6.03: Brock Purdy, QB, SF

6.04: Devin Singletary, RB, NYG

6.05: Christian Watson, WR, GB

6.06: Tony Pollard, RB, TEN

6.07: George Pickens, WR, PIT

6.08: Chris Godwin, WR, TB

6.09: D'Andre Swift, RB, CHI

6.10: Gus Edwards, RB, LAC

6.11: Jonathon Brooks, RB, LV

6.12: Kyle Pitts, TE, ATL

One Man's Reach is Another's Reward

This fantasy analyst has long been a proponent of getting the players you want to get—even if it means taking a guy earlier than his ADP. But it was a tad eye-opening to see New York Giants running back Devin Singletary drafted 64th overall—ahead of Tony Pollard of the Tennessee Titans and D'Andre Swift of the Chicago Bears.

On the one hand, Singletary's ADP is on the rise—the sixth-year veteran has looked good in the preseason and appears headed for a heavy workload. But with an ADP of 92 (33rd among running backs), this manager likely could have waited at least one more round and still landed Singletary.

My Pick

David Montgomery shares the backfield in Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs, but that didn't stop the sixth-year pro from eclipsing 1,000 rushing yards for the second time in his career last year and scoring 13 times on the ground on the way to finishing 17th among running backs in PPR points.

Most pundits believe that Jahmyr Gibbs, who was ninth last year in PPR points at his position, will see a larger share of the carry-share in the Lions backfield. But Montgomery should still be a sizable part of the ground game for one of the league's more potent offenses this year, and the short-yardage and goal-line work should still be his.

Round 7

7.01: Keenan Allen, WR, CHI

7.02: George Kittle, TE, SF

7.03: Keon Coleman, WR, BUF

7.04: C.J. Stroud, QB, HOU

7.05: Anthony Richardson, QB, IND

7.06: Evan Engram, TE, JAX

7.07: Diontae Johnson, WR, CAR

7.08: Javonte Williams, RB, DEN

7.09: Dak Prescott, QB, DAL

7.10: Brian Robinson Jr., RB, WAS

7.11: Christian Kirk, WR, JAX

7.12: Jerome Ford, RB, CLE

Playing the Lottery

At the quarterback position this year, there's one potential starter that stands out—if you're willing to roll the dice on a risk/reward option.

In every game that Anthony Richardson finished as a rookie last year, he finished as a top-five fantasy option. The 6'4" 244-pounder's combination of scrambling ability and a rocket for a right arm gives Richardson a fantasy ceiling few players can match.

Of course, Richardson finished just two of the four games he played in last season, leaving the other two with a concussion and what wound up being a season-ending shoulder injury. Those durability questions give Richardson one of the lower fantasy floors among the top-10 quarterbacks.

And makes targeting a viable backup in the later rounds a good idea.

My Pick

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk was a fantasy disappointment last year—the seventh-year veteran missed five games, failed to amass even 800 receiving yards and tied a career-low with just three touchdowns.

However, as recently as two years ago, Kirk caught 84 passes, topped 1,100 receiving yards, scored eight touchdowns and finished the season 12th in PPR points among wide receivers. With Calvin Ridley gone, Kirk should once again be the unquestioned No. 1 wideout in Jacksonville—and a bounce-back campaign could easily be in the offing.

Round 8

8.01: Calvin Ridley, WR, TEN

8.02: Najee Harris, RB, PIT

8.03: Rome Odunze, WR, CHI

8.04: Chase Brown, RB, CIN

8.05: Jake Ferguson, TE, DAL

8.06: Xavier Worthy, WR, KC

8.07: Tank Dell, WR, HOU

8.08: Pat Freiermuth, TE, PIT

8.09: Jayden Reed, WR, GB

8.10: Nick Chubb, RB, CLE

8.11: Marquise Brown, WR, KC

8.12: Austin Ekeler, RB, WAS

What to Do About Nick Chubb?

The average draft position of Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been all over the place this summer—largely because no one had any idea when Chubb might be available to play. Now, we know that the 28-year-old will start the regular season on the PUP list, which means he won't play until Week 5 at least.

That made his selection at Pick. No. 94 a bit surprising, albeit understandable. If your league has IR slots, you can stash Chubb there, bide your time and if he's anywhere close to 100 percent at some point in the season fantasy managers will have landed a potential fantasy RB1 for pennies on the dollar.

With that said, if you do invest a mid-round pick in Chubb, be prepared to target backup Jerome Ford shortly thereafter—provided he hasn't already been drafted like he was here.

My Pick

On a per-carry basis, Harris hasn't come especially close to justifying his first-round draft slot back in 2021—he has failed to hit four yards a carry in two of his three professional seasons. But Harris has eclipsed 1,000 yards on the ground all three years he has been in the NFL and has never finished lower than RB2 territory, including a top-three fantasy campaign as a rookie.

With Jaylen Warren banged up to start the season, Harris should see a heavy September workload. And given the other running backs who came off the board this round, getting Harris in Round 8 feels like a solid value.

Round 9

9.01: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, SEA

9.02: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, JAX

9.03: Jayden Daniels, QB, WAS

9.04: Tyjae Spears, RB, TEN

9.05: Jaylen Warren, RB, PIT

9.06: Trey Benson, RB, ARI

9.07: Rico Dowdle, RB, DAL

9.08: Luke Musgrave, TE, GB

9.09: Joe Burrow, QB, CIN

9.10: Zack Moss, RB, CIN

9.11: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, TEN

9.12: Jameson Williams, WR, DET

Youth is Served

It's a wise course of action in fantasy drafts to shift your focus as you move into the later rounds toward youth and upside—"lottery ticket" types with the potential to blow away their modest asking price on draft day.

That was certainly the case in Round 9—of the first six picks in the round, five were either rookies or second-year players.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has the dual-threat upside, so many fantasy managers covet under center. Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a trendy breakout pick in many circles. There's a legitimate chance that Titans running back Tyjae Spears winds up leading all players in Tennessee at his position in fantasy points.

Hitting on later-round picks wins more fantasy leagues than first-rounders.

My Pick

Yes, after all that talking up youth, I drafted a dinged-up 32-year-old in Round 9. But there's good reason for eschewing the youngsters for Tennessee Titans wideout DeAndre Hopkins in this spot.

Yes, Hopkins missed the preseason and a chunk of training camp with a knee injury. But there's optimism in Nashville that Hopkins will be ready to go for the season opener.

The 2023 campaign wasn't "D-Hop's" best, but he did surpass 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2020. His 75/1,057/7 stat line was good for a WR22 finish in PPR points. Tennessee has a far better WR2 this year than last in veteran Calvin Ridley, but even fantasy WR3 numbers would be value for Hopkins as the 45th wide receiver taken in this draft.

Round 10

10.01: Chuba Hubbard, RB, CAR

10.02: Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN

10.03: Brock Bowers, TE, LV

10.04: Jakobi Meyers, WR, LV

10.05: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL

10.06: Jordan Addison, WR, MIN

10.07: Zach Charbonnet, RB, SEA

10.08: Josh Downs, WR, IND

10.09: Dallas Goedert, TE, PHI

10.10: Tyler Allgeier, RB, ATL

10.11: Jaylen Wright, RB, MIA

10.12: Brandin Cooks, WR, DAL

Wide Receiver Values

There were a trio of wide receivers drafted in Round 10 who have the potential to be value plays in 2024.

Jakobi Meyers of the Las Vegas Raiders may take a clear back seat to Davante Adams in Sin City, but Meyers quietly received 106 targets last year, topped 800 receiving yards, scored a career-high eight receiving touchdowns and finished as a high-end fantasy WR3.

Jordan Addison of the Minnesota Vikings faces questions at quarterback with Sam Darnold under center and faces potential NFL discipline after an offseason DUI arrest. But Addison posted a 70/911/10 line as a rookie and will see single coverage all day long playing opposite Justin Jefferson.

It has been a while since Brandin Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys posted 1,000 receiving yards in a season. But he has done so six times, he found the end zone eight times in 2023, and the Cowboys should be one of the pass-heaviest teams in the league in 2024.

My Pick

Actually, there are four wideouts who were drafted in Round 10 with the potential to out-point their draft slot by a significant margin in 2024—and this guy drafted one of them.

The difference between Courtland Sutton and those other three wideouts is that Sutton is the No. 1 wideout for the Broncos. Last year, Sutton's reception (59) and yardage (772) numbers last year weren't great, but he caught a career-best 10 touchdowns and finished inside fantasy WR3 territory.

There are questions at quarterback in the Mile High City with Bo Nix taking over, but if the rookie and Sutton click, he could be a bargain this late.

13.12: Darnell Mooney, WR, ATL

Don't Be "That Guy"

It seems that in every one of these draft reviews I keep giving the same speech. But folks just don't listen. So here comes the speech again.

Do not be the first manager to draft a kicker or team defense. Yes, the Cleveland Browns were the NFL's No. 1 defense last year in terms of yards allowed. But they were just a so-so seventh in fantasy points at the position. Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens may be the NFL's best kicker, but he wasn't fantasy's top player at that spot in 2023. Or 2022.

Even if you do identify the right player(s) and get the No. 1 kicker or defense, the advantage gained over the last team to draft a defense or kicker is a fantasy point or two per week. It's minimal. It's certainly not worth passing on players like Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Atlanta Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney.

My Picks

Given that it's the 11th round and my team doesn't have a quarterback, it was probably a good idea to draft one here. In fact, the decision was made to "double-tap" the position—with a pair of quarterbacks drafted in rapid succession.

Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers is the "floor" half of the equation—the experienced quarterback who ranked second among all quarterbacks in fantasy points from Week 10 on a year ago. Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears is the "ceiling" play—the immensely talented rookie first overall pick playing on a remade offense that added numerous weapons in the offseason.

Adding Bucky Irving of the Buccaneers as insurance against Rachaad White was Plan A here, but the rookie was sniped. Alexander Mattison of the Las Vegas Raiders disappointed as Minnesota's lead back, but he spent an eye-opening amount of time playing with the Raiders starters in the preseason.

Sleeper Alert

There wasn't a ton of excitement over the last three rounds of this draft. But there was one veteran wide receiver who went late who should generate some interest from fantasy managers.

Mike Williams of the New York Jets is still working his way back from the ACL tear that ended his 2023 season with the Los Angeles Chargers. But Williams avoided the PUP list to open the season, and the 29-year-old will reportedly start taking part in team drills soon.

Is Williams any kind of a sure thing? No—if he was he wouldn't have been on the board at the back end of Round 15. But Williams has posted two seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards and two years with at least nine scores.

The Jets need a No. 2 wide receiver to step up opposite Garrett Wilson. And Williams' ability to high-point the football could be more than a little valuable to Aaron Rodgers in the red zone.

My Picks

Jonnu Smith has flashed the ability to stretch the field at times over his seven seasons in the league, the veteran tight end has turned heads in Dolphins camp and given all the passing-game weapons in Miami Smith should be wide open approximately 116 percent of the time.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been a defense that gets after opposing quarterbacks, and their Week 1 opponent (the Atlanta Falcons) enters the season with some uncertainty at quarterback.

Jason Myers is by no means a big name at kicker—but the veteran has quietly been a top-three fantasy kicker each of the past two seasons.

My Team

Quarterbacks: Jordan Love, GBP (11.11); Caleb Williams, CHI (12.02)

Running Backs: Jonathan Taylor, IND (1.11); Rachaad White, TB (4.02); David Montgomery, DET (6.02); Najee Harris, PIT (8.02); Alexander Mattison, LV (13.11)

Wide Receivers: Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI (2.02); Rashee Rice (5.11); Christian Kirk, JAX (7.11); DeAndre Hopkins, TEN (9.11); Courtland Sutton, DEN (10.02)

Tight Ends: Travis Kelce, KC (3.01); Jonnu Smith, MIA (14.02)

Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers (15.11)

Kicker: Jason Myers, SEA (16.02)

This is the fourth of these I have done this summer, and I can say that this is easily the team I like most. The folks at My Fantasy League appear to like the team as well—it is projected to finish first in the league.

That of course means the team is doomed. But that's neither here nor there.

Given that no quarterbacks were selected until Round 11, the tandem assembled is solid—especially if Love builds on his strong second-half last year. Investing in Travis Kelce at tight end is a riskier play than in prior years, but so long as he stays healthy, he should remain among the most productive fantasy assets at his position.

At running back, Taylor is a solid foundation, and there's a very real chance that White finishes as a top-12 running back again in 2024. Montgomery and Harris provide depth and more than a little "flex" appeal, and Mattison could easily wind up starting in Vegas at some point this season.

The wide receivers have considerable potential as well. If Harrison is the talent so many believe he is, he should anchor a wideout corps that includes (arguably) five No. 1 wideouts. Rice and Kirk should both be capable starters, and a healthy Hopkins could become a strong flex starter.

This was a team built on being flexible—pivoting without a second thought when things went off-script. And that flexibility is probably the most important key to drafting a competitive team.
