Fantasy football mock draft

2025 Fantasy Football Mock Draft 1.0

June is the dead month in the fantasy football world, and there’s no better way to kill time between now and the regular season than with a mock draft. With rookie and dynasty startup drafts (mostly) over, it’s time to turn the page to redraft and start looking at players set to dominate in the 2025 season.

Note that this fantasy football mock draft is for one-quarterback leagues with PPR scoring. The draft was performed in real-time with analysts from across the web via the Fantasy Football RPG podcast

2025 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

First Round

1.01 – Bijan Robinson
1.02 – Ja’Marr Chase
1.03 – Justin Jefferson
1.04 – Jahmyr Gibbs
1.05 – Saquon Barkley
1.06 – CeeDee Lamb
1.07 – Amon-Ra St. Brown
1.08 – Malik Nabers
1.09 – Brock Bowers
1.10 – Ashton Jeanty
1.11 – Derrick Henry
1.12 – Nico Collins

This fantasy football mock draft kicks off with CeeDee Lamb, one of the best all-around wide receivers in the game. Recording over 150 targets in each of the past three seasons, the Cowboys’ superstar should have another dominant campaign with Dak Prescott, a questionable defense, and a passing attack that should score more points with new addition George Pickens helping to move the ball.

Second Round

2.01 – Puka Nacua
2.02 – Jonathan Taylor
2.03 – Drake London
2.04 – Josh Jacobs
2.05 – Brian Thomas
2.06 – DeVon Achane
2.07 – A.J. Brown
2.08 – Ladd McConkey
2.09 – Bucky Irving
2.10 – Trey McBride
2.11 – Christian McCaffrey
2.12 – Marvin Harrison Jr

Despite finishing the 2024 season with under 100 targets, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown finished the year as the WR20 in just 13 games. Now entering his age-28 season, he should remain one of the game’s most efficient targets and will likely return to seeing his usual 140-150 targets per season.

Third Round

3.01 – Garrett Wilson
3.02 – Josh Allen
3.03 – Omarion Hampton
3.04 – Jaxon Smith-Njigba
3.05 – Kyren Williams
3.06 – Lamar Jackson
3.07 – Breece Hall
3.08 – Chase Brown
3.09 – Kenneth Walker
3.10 – Rashee Rice
3.11 – Jayden Daniels
3.12 – Jalen Hurts

Drafting quarterbacks early is a dangerous strategy in one-quarterback leagues, but Lamar Jackson is worth it in this fantasy football mock draft. Rushing quarterbacks are a cheat code in conventional scoring, and nobody outside of Josh Allen is a more reliable and dangerous dual-threat. He’s one of the few players who can single-handedly win a matchup and should give this team a week-in, week-out advantage at the quarterback position.

Fourth Round

4.01 – George Kittle
4.02 – Tyreek Hill
4.03 – Travis Hunter
4.04 – Mike Evans
4.05 – Tee Higgins
4.06 – Joe Burrow
4.07 – Alvin Kamara
4.08 – Chuba Hubbard
4.09 – Terry McLaurin
4.10 – D.K. Metcalf
4.11 – Davante Adams
4.12 – James Cook

Nobody wants to touch the Saints offense, and with good reason. However, while the team itself might be hard to watch, Alvin Kamara could be a diamond in the rough. The Saints still don’t have a notable RB2, which means the former third-round pick should have one of the largest workloads in the league. Additionally, the poor offensive line, combined with the inexperienced quarterbacks, means he should see plenty of touchdowns. This team won’t score too many touchdowns, but volume alone makes Kamara a smart pick midway through the fourth round of this fantasy football mock draft.

Fifth Round

5.01 – RJ Harvey
5.02 – James Conner
5.03 – Quinshon Judkins
5.04 – Sam LaPorta
5.05 – Courtland Sutton
5.06 – Zay Flowers
5.07 – Tet McMillan
5.08 – Joe Mixon
5.09 – Isiah Pacheco
5.10 – D.J. Moore
5.11 – T.J. Hockenson
5.12 – Jameson Williams

Zay Flowers doesn’t have overall WR1 upside, but he provides a safe floor as a WR2 or flex play throughout the season. Locked in as the top option in Baltimore’s passing attack, the Rashod Bateman extension ensures the team won’t find someone else to steal the role. Additionally, stacking him with Lamar Jackson only increases the odds of this team winning a championship.

Sixth Round

6.01 – Jaylen Waddle
6.02 – George Pickens
6.03 – David Montgomery
6.04 – Baker Mayfield
6.05 – Jerry Jeudy
6.06 – DeVonta Smith
6.07 – Aaron Jones
6.08 – Jordan Addison
6.09 – Bo Nix
6.10 – Patrick Mahomes
6.11 – TreVeyon Henderson
6.12 – Xavier Worthy

Another unsexy pick, Aaron Jones is on the older side but didn’t look his age last year. Following a 1,100-yard season, Jones enters the 2025 campaign as the unquestioned starter in a great offense, and the team spent the offseason upgrading the offensive line. Jordan Mason is a fine backup, but he shouldn’t eat into Jones’ workload too dramatically.

Seventh Round

7.01 – Caleb Williams
7.02 – Tony Pollard
7.03 – Jakobi Meyers
7.04 – D’Andre Swift
7.05 – Jonnu Smith
7.06 – Chris Olave
7.07 – Chris Godwin
7.08 – Travis Kelce
7.09 – Rome Odunze
7.10 – Kaleb Johnson
7.11 – Khalil Shakir
7.12 – Brian Robinson

Double-dipping on the Saints offense is admittedly not that fun, but the value in this fantasy football mock draft is too good to ignore. Chris Olave is routinely one of the game’s most efficient and effective receivers on a per-route basis, he just needs to stay healthy. While second-round pick Tyler Shough will probably be a worse overall quarterback than Carr, he probably won’t throw as many hospital balls.

Eighth Round

8.01 – Travis Etienne
8.02 – Deebo Samuel
8.03 – Evan Engram
8.04 – Michael Pittman
8.05 – Jared Goff
8.06 – Tyler Warren
8.07 – Najee Harris
8.08 – Calvin Ridley
8.09 – Jauan Jennings
8.10 – Jayden Reed
8.11 – David Njoku
8.12 – Colston Loveland

First-round pick Omarion Hampton is the sexy player in this backfield, but Najee Harris will receive far more carries than anyone wants to admit. The former Pittsburgh Steeler is a solid starter and, more importantly, a proven veteran on a Super Bowl contender led by an old-school head coach. Jim Harbaugh will make Hampton earn his touches, which means Harris should be a viable play early in the season.

Ninth Round

9.01 – Jordan Mason
9.02 – Mark Andrews
9.03 – Javonte Williams
9.04 – Jaylen Warren
9.05 – Tyrone Tracy
9.06 – Brandon Aiyuk
9.07 – Dalton Kincaid
9.08 – Ricky Pearsall
9.09 – Isaac Guerendo
9.10 – Justin Fields
9.11 – Zach Charbonnet
9.12 – Cam Skattebo

On the other side of the coin, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk probably won’t be ready for the start of the season as he recovers from his torn ACL. However, once he’s back on the field, he could put up low-end WR1 numbers in a wide-open offense. Brandon Aiyuk is one of the game’s better receivers and should see more targets with Deebo Samuel now in Washington. If he can regain his old form down the stretch (an admittedly big ‘if”), then he will be the steal of this fantasy football mock draft.

10th Round

10.01 – Tyjae Spears
10.02 – Jaydon Blue
10.03 – Justin Herbert
10.04 – Dak Prescott
10.05 – Cooper Kupp
10.06 – Stefon Diggs
10.07 – Rhamondre Stevenson
10.08 – Kyler Murray
10.09 – Josh Downs
10.10 – Breton Strange
10.11 – Rashid Shaheed
10.12 – Jake Ferguson

Noticing a trend? The fantasy football community wants second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson to become New England’s next great three-down threat, but it’s far more likely he becomes their third-down back, at least in the short term. Don’t believe me? Just ask Henderson himself. This means the starting running back job will still go to Rhamondre Stevenson, and while he’s far from the league’s most exciting player, the volume alone justifies a 10th-round pick.

11th Round

11.01 – Keon Coleman
11.02 – Darnell Mooney
11.03 – Tank Bigsby
11.04 – J.J. McCarthy
11.05 – Jayden Higgins
11.06 – Tucker Kraft
11.07 – Marcus Golden
11.08 – Jordan Love
11.09 – Roschon Johnson
11.10 – Tre Harris
11.11 – Kyle Pitts
11.12 – Ray Davis

I missed on the top tier of tight ends, so we grab the best one left in the penultimate round of this fantasy football mock draft. Tucker Kraft put up a promising season last year, leapfrogging fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave while recording 50 receptions for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. Now entering his age-25 season, Kraft probably won’t finish as a top-three tight end but should be a reliable option throughout the season.

12th Round

12.01 – Trey Benson
12.02 – Braelon Allen
12.03 – Pat Freiermuth
12.04 – Luther Burden
12.05 – Dallas Goedert
12.06 – Emeka Egbuka
12.07 – Rachaad White
12.08 – Wan’Dale Robinson
12.09 – Marvin Mims
12.10 – Dylan Sampson
12.11 – Rashod Bateman
12.12 – J.K. Dobbins

This fantasy football mock draft wraps up with a running back in name only. Rachaad White may not be much between the tackles, but the former third-round pick is one of the best receiving backs in the game and has an established role in this offense. In the 12th round, that’s more than enough to justify a pick.
