The calendar has now turned to June. We’re not quite in the throes of redraft season, but the preparation is beginning to ramp up. Always important to the process is conducting mock drafts, so here is a 2025 redraft fantasy football mock draft for Superflex PPR leagues from the No. 6 spot.
Assume a starting lineup of 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2 Flex, 1 SFlex. My mocks never include kickers or defenses.

Superflex Redraft Mock Draft From the No. 6 Spot
For those new to my mocks, first and foremost, welcome! Here’s a little insight into how I do these: I write up each pick in real time. I’m not doing a mock draft and then going back and talking about each pick — I’m giving you a direct window into my brain at the time I’m on the clock for each selection. Now, let’s get to the mock draft!
1.06) Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Superflex really is a different animal. It’s tough to push the button on a mid-QB1 over truly elite players like Ja’Marr Chase and Bijan Robinson. But that’s how quarterback value works in Superflex.
Picking here, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to double-tap QB, which is my preferred Superflex strategy. In the second round, I’m likely looking at a wide receiver. We’ll quickly find out if Chase and the top Round 2 quarterback would’ve been better than Baker Mayfield and whoever I end up taking next.
2.07) Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
I don’t regret taking Mayfield in the first. The top quarterbacks on my board at this pick are Brock Purdy, Drake Maye, and Dak Prescott. I definitely prefer Mayfield and Jahmyr Gibbs to Chase or Robinson paired with either of three other quarterbacks.
There was no wrong pick here. Gibbs or Saquon Barkley — it’s pick your poison. I also considered Puka Nacua. Ultimately, it came down to personal preference between three elite options.
3.06) Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons
It’s great when a plan comes together. Getting Gibbs in Round 2 made the Round 1 decision to go QB feel right. And landing Drake London here backs up my call to go RB in Round 2. Derrick Henry was also an option, but I didn’t want to go three rounds without a wide receiver.
London finally had his long-awaited breakout last season, averaging 16.5 fantasy points per game (WR14). He was even better when Michael Penix Jr. took over. While it was a small sample with three favorable matchups, London averaged 23.1 ppg with Penix, suggesting he’s a strong bet to post WR1 numbers in 2025.
4.07) Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots
It pains me to pass on Bucky Irving or Chase Brown here. But the QB pool is getting thin, and I’m really high on Maye this season.
Maye’s 13.6 ppg average from last season is misleading. It includes the 2.1 points he scored in his NFL debut in Week 3 on just a few plays, and zero points in Week 18 when he played only three snaps. If we remove those two games, Maye posted 15.9 ppg — much more respectable.
This year, the New England Patriots added reliable veteran WR Stefon Diggs, third-round rookie Kyle Williams, and receiving back TreVeyon Henderson. Maye’s older, has a competent head coach, and Josh McDaniels is back. With his rushing upside boosting his floor, Maye could surprise as a top-five fantasy QB if things go right.
5.06) Bucky Irving, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
How lucky! I passed on Irving last round to grab a strong QB2, and he fell right to me.
I’m very high on Irving this season and want him on as many teams as I can. He took over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ RB1 job in the second half of last season and pushed Rachaad White out of the picture. With a full season as the starter, Irving could push for 20 fantasy points per game.

6.07) Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals
Funny how things work out. Marvin Harrison Jr. isn’t someone I’m targeting this season. When I see his name near the top of the board, I don’t get excited. But in Round 6, my eyes widened.
Harrison may not be someone I’m bullish on, but he’s the top receiver on my board by a wide margin. Last round, I just missed Rashee Rice by one pick. I’m not sure if I would’ve passed on Irving anyway, but if I did, I might’ve taken James Conner. Looking back, I think I like Irving and Harrison more than Rice and Conner.
Even though I don’t expect a WR1 season from Harrison, at this price, moderate improvement from last year will be good enough.
7.06) DK Metcalf, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
I don’t love this pick. I’m worried my interest in Kaleb Johnson two rounds later might force me to pass or double up on Pittsburgh Steelers. But I can’t worry about that now.
DK Metcalf disappointed last year, falling behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the Seattle Seahawks’ top fantasy wide receiver. Still, he’s set up well for a rebound, even in the Steelers’ run-heavy scheme, because he’s clearly the top target.
8.07) Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions
This was unfortunate. I was hoping to get Omarion Hampton, but he went one pick before me. A few wideouts are still interesting, and I like several running backs, too. With three WRs and two RBs on the roster, I could go either way. But passing on both means whichever I take next round, the other spot will be weak. Yet, I’m okay with that to get Sam LaPorta in Round 8.
While LaPorta is my TE4, he’s firmly behind the elite trio of Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle. He’s also clearly ahead of everyone else.
LaPorta finished last season strong after a slow start and should be more involved this year as the Detroit Lions face a tougher schedule that will force them to throw more.
9.06) D’Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears
My gamble paid off. The last running back on my board I view as a solid RB2 starter was still there. I’d be thrilled if this were a real team.
I didn’t think I’d be back on the D’Andrw Swift train in 2025, yet here we are. The Chicago Bears’ lack of investment in the position during free agency and the draft matters. It shows they believe in Swift.
With only Roschon Johnson and seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai behind him, Swift is set up for heavy volume in what should be a good offense. If Chicago doesn’t add to the RB room, he could be one of the best values this year.
10.07) J.J. McCarthy, QB, Minnesota Vikings
At this point, I want to lock in my QB3, and J.J. McCarthy is easily the top QB on my board — well ahead of the rest.
McCarthy steps into an offense run by Kevin O’Connell that has never failed. O’Connell got big passing numbers out of Sam Darnold, Joshua Dobbs, and Nick Mullens, and McCarthy is better than all of them.
11.06) Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There are a few wideouts I like here. I considered Rashid Shaheed and Luther Burden III. My hope is to land two of them, yet I went with Emeka Egbuka to stack with Mayfield.
Egbuka looks like one of the safest prospects in the class. The problem is, he’ll start the season behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, so he may not be a reliable early-season option.
That’s fine. I’m drafting to win down the stretch, and if either 32-year-old Evans or 29-year-old Godwin (coming off a torn ACL) goes down, the rookie could emerge as Mayfield’s WR2.
12.07) Luther Burden III, WR, Chicago Bears
I could’ve played it safe and taken someone like Darnell Mooney, but that’s not my style.
Burden is the upside play. He could have no value. He could be Rome Odunze 2.0. Or his talent could shine through, and my WR4 could return WR2 numbers.
I’m gambling on upside.
13.06) Rashid Shaheed, WR, New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints are favorites to land the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean they won’t score points. They’ll likely be trailing often and forced to throw.
Shaheed was actually outproducing Chris Olave when both got hurt last season, and he’s seriously undervalued right now.
The first touchdown of the first Sunday this season belongs to Derek Carr, Rashid Shaheed and the @Saints!

I need another running back, but I went with Shaheed because I’m confident one of the pure handcuffs will still be there at my next pick.
14.07) Braelon Allen, RB, New York Jets
This is my last pick, and needing another running back, I decided to go in that direction. I debated between Braelon Allen and Jaydon Blue, but eventually decided on the former to close out this Superflex mock draft.
