Recording over 150 targets in each of the past three seasons, the Cowboys&#8217; superstar should have another dominant campaign with Dak Prescott, a questionable defense, and a passing attack that should score more points <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/10\/george-pickens-is-ready-to-turn-the-page-in-dallas\/\" target=\"_self\">with new addition George Pickens<\/a> helping to move the ball.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Round<\/h3>\n<p>2.01 &#8211; Puka Nacua<br \/>\n2.02 &#8211; Jonathan Taylor<br \/>\n2.03 &#8211; Drake London<br \/>\n2.04 &#8211; Josh Jacobs<br \/>\n2.05 &#8211; Brian Thomas<br \/>\n2.06 &#8211; DeVon Achane<br \/>\n<strong>2.07 &#8211; A.J. Brown<\/strong><br \/>\n2.08 &#8211; Ladd McConkey<br \/>\n2.09 &#8211; Bucky Irving<br \/>\n2.10 &#8211; Trey McBride<br \/>\n2.11 &#8211; Christian McCaffrey<br \/>\n2.12 &#8211; Marvin Harrison Jr<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s most efficient targets and will likely return to seeing his usual 140-150 targets per season.<\/p>\n<h3>Third Round<\/h3>\n<p>3.01 &#8211; Garrett Wilson<br \/>\n3.02 &#8211; Josh Allen<br \/>\n3.03 &#8211; Omarion Hampton<br \/>\n3.04 &#8211; Jaxon Smith-Njigba<br \/>\n3.05 &#8211; Kyren Williams<br \/>\n<strong>3.06 &#8211; Lamar Jackson<\/strong><br \/>\n3.07 &#8211; Breece Hall<br \/>\n3.08 &#8211; Chase Brown<br \/>\n3.09 &#8211; Kenneth Walker<br \/>\n3.10 &#8211; Rashee Rice<br \/>\n3.11 &#8211; Jayden Daniels<br \/>\n3.12 &#8211; Jalen Hurts<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/19\/josh-allen-dynasty-outlook-2025-fantasy-football-nfl-mvp-buffalo-bills\/\" target=\"_self\">nobody outside of Josh Allen<\/a> is a more reliable and dangerous dual-threat. He&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h3>Fourth Round<\/h3>\n<p>4.01 &#8211; George Kittle<br \/>\n4.02 &#8211; Tyreek Hill<br \/>\n4.03 &#8211; Travis Hunter<br \/>\n4.04 &#8211; Mike Evans<br \/>\n4.05 &#8211; Tee Higgins<br \/>\n4.06 &#8211; Joe Burrow<br \/>\n<strong>4.07 &#8211; Alvin Kamara<br \/>\n<\/strong>4.08 &#8211; Chuba Hubbard<br \/>\n4.09 &#8211; Terry McLaurin<br \/>\n4.10 &#8211; D.K. Metcalf<br \/>\n4.11 &#8211; Davante Adams<br \/>\n4.12 &#8211; James Cook<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t score too many touchdowns, but volume alone makes Kamara a smart pick midway through the fourth round of this fantasy football mock draft.<\/p>\n<h3>Fifth Round<\/h3>\n<p>5.01 &#8211; RJ Harvey<br \/>\n5.02 &#8211; James Conner<br \/>\n5.03 &#8211; Quinshon Judkins<br \/>\n5.04 &#8211; Sam LaPorta<br \/>\n5.05 &#8211; Courtland Sutton<br \/>\n<strong>5.06 &#8211; Zay Flowers<br \/>\n<\/strong>5.07 &#8211; Tet McMillan<br \/>\n5.08 &#8211; Joe Mixon<br \/>\n5.09 &#8211; Isiah Pacheco<br \/>\n5.10 &#8211; D.J. Moore<br \/>\n5.11 &#8211; T.J. Hockenson<br \/>\n5.12 &#8211; Jameson Williams<\/p>\n<p>Zay Flowers doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s passing attack, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/06\/08\/breaking-ravens-patriots-almost-agreed-to-rashod-bateman-trade\/\" target=\"_self\">Rashod Bateman extension<\/a> ensures the team won&#8217;t find someone else to steal the role. Additionally, stacking him with Lamar Jackson only increases the odds of this team winning a championship.<\/p>\n<h3>Sixth Round<\/h3>\n<p>6.01 &#8211; Jaylen Waddle<br \/>\n6.02 &#8211; George Pickens<br \/>\n6.03 &#8211; David Montgomery<br \/>\n6.04 &#8211; Baker Mayfield<br \/>\n6.05 &#8211; Jerry Jeudy<br \/>\n6.06 &#8211; DeVonta Smith<br \/>\n<strong>6.07 &#8211; Aaron Jones<br \/>\n<\/strong>6.08 &#8211; Jordan Addison<br \/>\n6.09 &#8211; Bo Nix<br \/>\n6.10 &#8211; Patrick Mahomes<br \/>\n6.11 &#8211; TreVeyon Henderson<br \/>\n6.12 &#8211; Xavier Worthy<\/p>\n<p>Another unsexy pick, Aaron Jones is on the older side but didn&#8217;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&#8217;t eat into Jones&#8217; workload too dramatically.<\/p>\n<h3>Seventh Round<\/h3>\n<p>7.01 &#8211; Caleb Williams<br \/>\n7.02 &#8211; Tony Pollard<br \/>\n7.03 &#8211; Jakobi Meyers<br \/>\n7.04 &#8211; D&#8217;Andre Swift<br \/>\n7.05 &#8211; Jonnu Smith<br \/>\n<strong>7.06 &#8211; Chris Olave<br \/>\n<\/strong>7.07 &#8211; Chris Godwin<br \/>\n7.08 &#8211; Travis Kelce<br \/>\n7.09 &#8211; Rome Odunze<br \/>\n7.10 &#8211; Kaleb Johnson<br \/>\n7.11 &#8211; Khalil Shakir<br \/>\n7.12 &#8211; Brian Robinson<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s most efficient and effective receivers on a per-route basis, he just needs to stay healthy. While <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/10\/saints-quarterback-tyler-shough-dynasty-outlook-after-shocking-news\/\" target=\"_self\">second-round pick Tyler Shough<\/a> will probably be a worse overall quarterback than Carr, he probably won&#8217;t throw as many hospital balls.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A Chris Olave chart <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VPTkfsoSs1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/VPTkfsoSs1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ihartitz\/status\/1932089118785216654?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Eighth Round<\/h3>\n<p>8.01 &#8211; Travis Etienne<br \/>\n8.02 &#8211; Deebo Samuel<br \/>\n8.03 &#8211; Evan Engram<br \/>\n8.04 &#8211; Michael Pittman<br \/>\n8.05 &#8211; Jared Goff<br \/>\n8.06 &#8211; Tyler Warren<br \/>\n<strong>8.07 &#8211; Najee Harris<br \/>\n<\/strong>8.08 &#8211; Calvin Ridley<br \/>\n8.09 &#8211; Jauan Jennings<br \/>\n8.10 &#8211; Jayden Reed<br \/>\n8.11 &#8211; David Njoku<br \/>\n8.12 &#8211; Colston Loveland<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/28\/omarion-hampton-stats-rookie-season-chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">First-round pick Omarion Hampton<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Ninth Round<\/h3>\n<p>9.01 &#8211; Jordan Mason<br \/>\n9.02 &#8211; Mark Andrews<br \/>\n9.03 &#8211; Javonte Williams<br \/>\n9.04 &#8211; Jaylen Warren<br \/>\n9.05 &#8211; Tyrone Tracy<br \/>\n<strong>9.06 &#8211; Brandon Aiyuk<\/strong><br \/>\n9.07 &#8211; Dalton Kincaid<br \/>\n9.08 &#8211; Ricky Pearsall<br \/>\n9.09 &#8211; Isaac Guerendo<br \/>\n9.10 &#8211; Justin Fields<br \/>\n9.11 &#8211; Zach Charbonnet<br \/>\n9.12 &#8211; Cam Skattebo<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the coin, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk probably won&#8217;t be ready for the start of the season as he recovers from his torn ACL. However, once he&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8216;if&#8221;), then he will be the steal of this fantasy football mock draft.<\/p>\n<h3>10th Round<\/h3>\n<p>10.01 &#8211; Tyjae Spears<br \/>\n10.02 &#8211; Jaydon Blue<br \/>\n10.03 &#8211; Justin Herbert<br \/>\n10.04 &#8211; Dak Prescott<br \/>\n10.05 &#8211; Cooper Kupp<br \/>\n10.06 &#8211; Stefon Diggs<br \/>\n<strong>10.07 &#8211; Rhamondre Stevenson<\/strong><br \/>\n10.08 &#8211; Kyler Murray<br \/>\n10.09 &#8211; Josh Downs<br \/>\n10.10 &#8211; Breton Strange<br \/>\n10.11 &#8211; Rashid Shaheed<br \/>\n10.12 &#8211; Jake Ferguson<\/p>\n<p>Noticing a trend? The fantasy football community wants <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/07\/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-treveyon-henderson\/\" target=\"_self\">second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson<\/a> to become New England&#8217;s next great three-down threat, but it&#8217;s far more likely he becomes their third-down back, at least in the short term. Don&#8217;t believe me? <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MikeReiss\/status\/1932543585234420158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Just ask Henderson himself<\/a>. This means the starting running back job will still go to Rhamondre Stevenson, and while he&#8217;s far from the league&#8217;s most exciting player, the volume alone justifies a 10th-round pick.<\/p>\n<h3>11th Round<\/h3>\n<p>11.01 &#8211; Keon Coleman<br \/>\n11.02 &#8211; Darnell Mooney<br \/>\n11.03 &#8211; Tank Bigsby<br \/>\n11.04 &#8211; J.J. McCarthy<br \/>\n11.05 &#8211; Jayden Higgins<br \/>\n<strong>11.06 &#8211; Tucker Kraft<\/strong><br \/>\n11.07 &#8211; Marcus Golden<br \/>\n11.08 &#8211; Jordan Love<br \/>\n11.09 &#8211; Roschon Johnson<br \/>\n11.10 &#8211; Tre Harris<br \/>\n11.11 &#8211; Kyle Pitts<br \/>\n11.12 &#8211; Ray Davis<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t finish as a top-three tight end but should be a reliable option throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h3>12th Round<\/h3>\n<p>12.01 &#8211; Trey Benson<br \/>\n12.02 &#8211; Braelon Allen<br \/>\n12.03 &#8211; Pat Freiermuth<br \/>\n12.04 &#8211; Luther Burden<br \/>\n12.05 &#8211; Dallas Goedert<br \/>\n12.06 &#8211; Emeka Egbuka<br \/>\n<strong>12.07 &#8211; Rachaad White<\/strong><br \/>\n12.08 &#8211; Wan&#8217;Dale Robinson<br \/>\n12.09 &#8211; Marvin Mims<br \/>\n12.10 &#8211; Dylan Sampson<br \/>\n12.11 &#8211; Rashod Bateman<br \/>\n12.12 &#8211; J.K. Dobbins<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s more than enough to justify a pick.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Ron Chenoy &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first fantasy football mock draft of redraft season features an early run on wide receivers before pivoting to running backs later on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":236400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[2256,5801,8995,349,7426,32976,32986],"class_list":["post-236395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-aaron-jones","tag-ceedee-lamb","tag-chris-olave","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-najee-harris","tag-omarion-hampton","tag-rj-harvey"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236395"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236410,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236395\/revisions\/236410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
