Fantasy Football Mock Draft Insights for 2026

A recent fantasy football mock draft showcased strategies from a middle-of-the-pack position, specifically the seventh pick. The drafter focused on building a strong team by selecting Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is expected to excel in the Lions' offense this season, over other options like Christian McCaffrey and Justin Jefferson.

The drafter emphasized the potential of Kenneth Walker III as a primary running back and opted to secure receivers Ladd McConkey and Zay Flowers, both of whom are anticipated to be top targets in their respective offenses. McConkey is expected to benefit from a healthy Chargers' offensive line, while Flowers aims for another successful season with Lamar Jackson.

Additionally, Sam LaPorta, cleared for football activities after back surgery, is poised to reclaim his status as a top fantasy tight end. The drafter also expressed interest in pairing Jared Goff with his Lions' stack, which includes St. Brown and LaPorta, indicating a strong belief in the Lions' offensive potential for the upcoming season.
