Show notes
Chris Welsh, Derek Brown, Tera Roberts and the Fantasy Dude jump into the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard for a full standard-league mock draft, looking for the biggest differences from PPR formats. The key theme throughout the draft is simple: touchdown equity matters.
The crew debates whether Derrick Henry belongs in the first round, why Saquon Barkley gets a boost, how to value running backs in a format where receptions don't count, and why players such as Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams and Mike Evans become especially intriguing.
They also dig into quarterback strategy, late-round RB values, Stefon Diggs as a potential steal, tight end targets, handcuffs, kicker and defense timing, and the best late-round sleepers.
If you're playing in a 2026 standard or non-PPR fantasy football league, this is a mock draft you don't want to miss.
