2026 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team Non-PPR Mock (10th Pick)

Updated: Wednesday, August 11, 2026

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2026 NFL season, we will use the fantasy football mock draft simulator to complete fantasy football mock drafts. And we will do so using a variety of scoring formats — point per reception (PPR), PPR, standard scoring and even 2-QB leagues — and league sizes. The goal is to provide you with a good representation of the team that you may be able to draft given your league settings while also providing the rationale of why we made the picks we did.

> Our 2026 mocks will be centralized here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

Non-PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 10th Pick

Starting positions: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DST; Bench spots: 6

1.10 - Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Henry began the 2025 season (18/169/2 in Week 1) where he left off in 2024 and was dominant in the fantasy playoffs (444 rushing yards and six touchdowns). The production in between was less Derrick Henry-like, but his full-season numbers (1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns) allowed him to finish as fantasy's RB7. He has 3,859 YFS and 34 TDs in 34 games over two seasons with the Ravens.

2.03 - Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Brown got off to a slow start with Joe Burrow exiting Week 2 early and Jake Browning starting several games:

In terms of fantasy points per game, he was the RB8 (15.9/G) over the final 11 games.

3.10 - Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

Few (read: no) players can say they rehabbed their offseason surgery while in jail like Rice can. And between a susnension and injuries, Rice has appeared in only 12 games over the past two seasons:

Given his role within the offense, however, there is top-five per-game upside when he is healthy and not suspended.

4.03 - DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

As the WR2 (or no better than 1B to A.J. Brown) in a run-heavy offense, Smith's numbers have been impressive — three 1,000-yard seasons over the past four years. (And he would have eclipsed 1,000 yards in the exception if it weren't for four missed games.) With Brown traded to the Patriots, Smith is in store for a target share bump even though the team drafted Makai Lemon in the first round.

5.10 - Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions

Williams now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as he set career highs in targets (102), receptions (65) and yards (1,117) in 2025. The bulk of that production occurred in the second half of the season with Dan Campbell taking over play calling in Week 10. Williams racked up 44/762/4 in the final nine games compared to just 21/355/3 in the first eight games. From Weeks 10-18, Williams scored the sixth-most fantasy points per game (11.3, non-PPR), just ahead of Amon-Ra St. Brown (11.2, WR7).

6.03 - Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders

The 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels missed all but seven games in his follow-up season. As a rookie, however, Daniels threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns while also rushing for 891 yards and six scores to finish as fantasy's QB5. Adding Stefon Diggs, who eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark with New England last season, is a nice boost to the receiving corps. The injury to left tackle Laremy Tunsil (triceps) is a cause for concern, but he has the upside to challenge Josh Allen (and Lamar Jackson and others) as fantasy's QB1 in 2026 but at a much more palatable draft-day cost.

7.10 - Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

As SI's John Shipley writes (about Washington continuing his impressive offseason), "[i]t has become a daily occurrence during training camp this season as Washington has separated himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target in one of the NFL's best wide receiver rooms, and this was again the case ... on Tuesday." Yes, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and even Travis Hunter (still) can make it difficult to project the team's wide receivers, but all signs point to Washington picking up where he left off. Counting the playoff loss to Buffalo, he had 26/454/2 on 41 targets over the final four games.

8.03 - Jonathon Brooks, RB, Carolina Panthers

Bitten by the injury bug (final season with the Texas Longhorns and first two seasons with the Carolina Panthers), Brooks is healthy now and the talented back has generated some offseason buzz. Whether dubbed a "riser" or "breakout" candidate, Brooks has the potential to earn a larger workload split than Chuba Hubbard and become a weekly RB2 (or better) for other teams. (Of course, a healthy duo of Henry and Brown have the RB1/RB2 slots locked down for this mocked team.)

9.10 - Chris Rodriguez Jr., RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

There are obvious reasons why Bhayshul Tuten is being drafted much earlier than Rodriguez, but C-Rod is a fine RB4, especially in a non-PPR scoring format where his lack of receiving chops isn't as big of a negative. In addition, it wouldn't be crazy if he scores more touchdowns than Tuten this year.

10.03 - Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions

11.10 - George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

After drafting LaPorta, I expected this to be a one-TE team. In fact, I would have been happy to have drafted him a few rounds earlier. That said, both LaPorta and Kittle were tremendous values in the double-digit rounds.

12.03 - Tank Bigsby, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

13.10 - Ray Davis, RB, Buffalo Bills

The duo of Bigsby and Davis have little-to-no stand-alone value, but enormous upside as handcuffs to Saquon Barkley and James Cook, respectively.

14.03 - Denver Broncos, DST, Denver Broncos

15.10 - Cairo Santos, K, Chicago Bears
