McCaffrey still has league winning upside in PPR formats, but we didn't expect to see him go off the board this early

Most of the fantasy football mock drafts our ESPN Fantasy team conducts are for leagues with 10 or 12 teams, but there are many who play in shallower setups. Our latest mock -- an 8-team league with PPR scoring -- was designed to serve that audience.

Mock drafts aren’t just a warm-up. They’re a secret weapon. And when done right, they give you the reps, reads, and reactions you need to dominate your real draft. But not all mocks are created equal and most fantasy managers are doing them wrong.
