What could your fantasy football team look like if you draft from the eleventh spot? Let’s take a look after our FanSided Fantasy Football Mock Draft.

On Sunday night, 12 FanSided Fantasy Sports contributors participated in a fantasy football mock draft. The draft positions were chosen at random. I was given the eleventh pick and this was my entire thought process throughout the draft.

The scoring system was 0.5-point PPR scoring with 6 point touchdowns to all players along with the standard one point per 10 yards rushing or receiving.

The draft was 15 rounds, nine starters and six bench spots. The roster construction was one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, two flex positions that could be a running back, wide receiver or a tight end and a defense.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft Pre-Draft Strategy

In a half point PPR scoring system with multiple flex positions I felt the most balanced strategy would be to grab two workhorse running backs in the first five rounds of the draft.

If I was given the opportunity to take one of the top-3 tight ends in the third round, I was immediately going to take them. The average difference between TE1-TE6 over the past eight years is 85 points, I believe George Kittle, Zach Ertz, and Travis Kelce have TE1 potential this year.

Typically at the end of the first round, I would be looking to load up on wide receivers as the elite running backs will be off the board. Being able to select multiple Tier-1 wide receivers compared to selecting Tier 2 running backs at the 11th and 13th pick would be much more beneficial.

The drop off from Tier-1 wide receivers to Tier-3 is greater than Tier-2 running backs to Tier-3 which is the range of players that I would see in the 3rd round.

After round six you’re looking to fill out your roster with the best player available.

The most important qualities that I am looking for in a player are opportunity and game-breaking ability.
