The PFSN Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator allows you to practice your draft strategy over and over to get an idea of how your draft may play out. Whether it be redraft or dynasty leagues, including your rookie drafts, we have you covered across the three main scoring systems and a variety of different draft formats.
How Does PFSN’s Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator Work?
The PFSN fantasy football mock draft simulator could not be easier to use. Simply select your league type, scoring settings, draft order, and the speed you want the computer to draft. Input your league size, your pick number, the number of rounds in your league, and your starting lineup requirements, and you are ready to go.
In the draft itself, you will see every pick made by the AI, and then, when it is your turn to select a player, you simply utilize our easy-to-use interface to find the player you want to select and click the “Draft” button. At any point during the AI’s selections, you can pause the draft, review the previous selections, or look at your current roster.
At the end of your draft, your roster is displayed for you to share on social media or with your friends via our share and download buttons.
Which Formats Does the NFL Fantasy Mock Draft Simulator Support?
Currently, the PFSN fantasy football Mock Draft Simulator supports PPR, half PPR, and non-PPR scoring. We also support redraft, dynasty, and rookie drafts while also having the ability to play both 1QB and Superflex lineup settings.
Additionally, the PFSN fantasy football Mock Draft Simulator supports three different draft order settings: snake, linear, and third-round reversal. Snake drafts are the traditional format in which, in a 10-team league, the draft goes 1-to-10 or 10-to-1 and then starts from one again before alternating order for the remaining rounds. A Linear league starts each round with the team with the first pick.
Meanwhile, third-round reversal leagues are a similar concept to snake leagues, except that in the third round, rather than going 1-to-10 like a traditional 10-team snake draft, the draft starts again with the 10th pick. The fourth round then goes 1-to-10 before snaking in the traditional way for the remaining rounds.
Who Are Some Fantasy Football Players to Target?
Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys
There is no way to statistically evaluate Javonte Williams’ 2024 season and make the case for investing heavily in the former Broncos rusher. Williams and the rest of Denver’s running backs struggled to get going behind what was supposed to be one of the better offensive lines in the NFL.
Williams led the three-way split, but averaged just 3.7 yards per attempt, and was subsequently allowed to find a new team in free agency. The four-year veteran has established himself as the lead back in Dallas over the preseason, and could take on the role that Rico Dowdle turned into an RB2 fantasy finish last season.
Dowdle had a similarly underwhelming efficiency history before the 2024 campaign, but won the lead-back job in Dallas and was the RB19 from Week 9 onward. The Cowboys struggled on the ground throughout 2024 and had arguably the worst rushing attack of the year.
Only two teams averaged fewer yards per attempt on the ground than Dallas (4.0) in 2024, while none scored fewer rushing touchdowns (six).
Despite the red flags, Williams’ role should be valuable in fantasy, with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer no doubt looking to revitalize the team’s ground attack. It might not feel great, but with Williams ranking 37th at the position in ADP, he could be a low-cost steal in fantasy this season.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos
Courtland Sutton’s 2024 season stands out as an outlier compared to his previous fantasy performances. The veteran receiver broke into the top 30 at the wide receiver position for only the second time in his seven-year career, giving managers plenty of reason to be cautious.
His performance, though, was as solid as they come in fantasy and grew throughout the season as then-rookie quarterback Bo Nix became more comfortable in the NFL. Nix failed to register a passing touchdown until Week 4, often relying on his legs to make things happen. Despite his quarterback’s slow start, Sutton finished as the WR15 on the season.
From Week 8, Sutton was the WR10 in FPPG (18.0). He received 8.8 targets per game over that stretch, turning that into 804 yards and six touchdowns. Over 17 games, that pace would net Sutton 150 targets, 1,367 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns.
Sutton signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension during the offseason, cementing his role as the team’s top pass catcher. TE Evan Engram has joined the team after being released by the Jaguars, while the Broncos’ run game will be looking to take a big step forward after struggling in 2024.
Sutton should be considered a high-end WR2 with the potential to finish inside the top 12 at the position this coming year.
