A full 2026 fantasy football mock draft turns into a masterclass in draft strategy as Ryan Wormeli, Andrew Erickson, Jake Ciely, and Nick Ercolano navigate a 12-team PPR league.

The crew examines the RB/WR balance through the early rounds with  Puka Nacua (WR, LA Rams) and Bijan Robinson (RB, Atlanta Falcons), as well as the value of waiting on quarterbacks like Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) and Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears). Plus, what the risks and upsides are of attacking the TE position in the middle rounds.

If you're looking for fantasy football rankings, mock draft strategy, draft values, and late-round targets, this episode offers plenty of actionable draft strategy.
