12-teams, 3-WRs, PPR. We've got four analysts to draft three teams apiece and give their thought process with each pick. We explore a number of different ways to build your team. Let's start with Round 1 and see how early Travis Kelce goes and when to take a WR. Then it's on to Round 2 (5:00) as we debate RB vs. WR throughout the round and see if the other top TEs come off the board ... Is Round 3 (12:30) the time for Patrick Mahomes? Which Chicago Bear will get drafted first? Which teams are leaning towards Zero-RB? And into Round 4 (20:30) we have tough WR decisions and a possible reach for Miles Sanders ... Round 5 (29:40) brings us a QB run and a couple of TEs too. Does Myles Gaskin finally get drafted???

Follow our draft here: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-mock-draft-august-ppr-mock-takes-an-odd-turn-to-the-nfc-east/

Football! Yes, we are reacting to football, and it's very exciting. Let's start with some preseason winners (1:40) as Jamey was impressed by a few rookie WRs, but does Amon-ra St. Brown have enough of a role to be successful? The rookie QBs flashed in their debuts and Phillip Lindsay (8:15) might be a Top 100 pick now. Meanwhile, our list of preseason losers (9:30) is headlined by Myles Gaskin. How far down the rankings is he moving? We also tell you why Adam Trautman was a loser and we discuss other rookie RBs (some good, some bad) as well ... We'll update you on the latest NFL news and notes (18:45). Curtis Samuel is off the PUP list and looks like a draft bargain right now ... It's Mock Draft Monday (22:00) and we'll review our 12-team, 3-WR PPR draft. One drafter's entire team is from the NFC East! And it's good! Jamey made it a point to draft WRs early. Adam laments his lack of upside. Chris is very happy with his team even though his QB situation is a little weak. Find out why Chris doesn't think that's an issue. And we also discuss the Round 6/7 RBs (45:30) and rank Michael Carter, Chase Edmonds, Javonte Williams and Kareem Hunt ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Bid on our Draft-A-Thon items right now to benefit St. Jude! http://cbssports.com/ebay

We cover more than 60 WRs on today's show (excluding the Top 10 WRs who you can hear about on yesterday's episode). We begin with the Round 3 WRs (2:55) Terry McLaurin, Allen Robinson and CeeDee Lamb. Much of the discussion focuses on Lamb and whether or not people are too high on him. We then move on to a very difficult stretch of WRs in Round 4 (11:30): the Bucs guys, Cowboys guys, Rams guys and a couple more. Which ones do we prefer? ... In Round 5 (22:22), we debate D.J. Moore, Tyler Lockett and a few more. We also get into the Steelers WRs (24:35) and then on to the Round 6 WRs (37:40). This is an exciting group with upside and it includes Ja'Marr Chase and Brandon Aiyuk. What do we expect from the sophomore WRs? ... We've still got good options for your third WR as we move into Rounds 7 and 8 (47:30), but are we running out of upside? People are too low on Tyler Boyd and they may be too low on Jerry Jeudy as well. And we finish with the rest of the relevant WRs (54:45) with sleepers like Elijah Moore, Mecole Hardman and Sterling Shepard ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
