A 24-Pick PPR Mock Built From 2026 ADP
This two-round mock follows the current market while using last season’s scoring to settle close decisions.
Bobby's AI Desk·written from our own draft-market and 2025 production data·how this works
Takeaways
- → Use 2025 scoring to break ties inside the same ADP range.
- → Do not confuse an expensive market price with production-backed value.
- → Prepare one alternative for every early pick before the clock starts.
In this piece
This is one plausible board for a 12-team PPR draft, not a prediction of how every room will behave. ADP, or average draft position, shows where players are typically selected; every scoring figure below is 2025 PPR points per game from last season.
1.01-1.08: Follow the top of the market
The opening comes directly from the Draft Kit, with last season’s scoring breaking close calls.
- 1.01 — Jahmyr Gibbs: Exact 1.01 ADP after 21.6 points; alternative Bijan Robinson at 1.02.
- 1.02 — Bijan Robinson: Scored 21.8 across 17 games; alternative Puka Nacua at 1.03.
- 1.03 — Puka Nacua: Led wide receivers at 23.4; alternative Ja'Marr Chase at 1.04.
- 1.04 — Ja'Marr Chase: His 19.6 supports the market slot; alternative Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 1.05.
- 1.05 — Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Produced 21.2 across 17 games; alternative Amon-Ra St. Brown at 1.06.
- 1.06 — Amon-Ra St. Brown: Exact 1.06 ADP with 19.1; alternative Christian McCaffrey at 1.07.
- 1.07 — Christian McCaffrey: Led running backs at 24.5; alternative Jonathan Taylor, also carrying 1.07 ADP.
- 1.08 — Jonathan Taylor: His 21.3 keeps him in the elite-RB run; alternative De'Von Achane at 1.11.
McCaffrey’s 2025 scoring, regressed toward the running back average for a 17-game sample, has a 13.53-27.68 range. That is a sample-adjusted description, not a 2026 forecast.
1.09-2.04: Compare price with production
Value means paying less in 2026 than last season’s production suggests. The Usage Report can help managers investigate why price and scoring differ.
- 1.09 — De'Von Achane: Scored 20.2 over 16 games; alternative Drake London at 1.11.
- 1.10 — Drake London: His 16.8 edges the next receiver; alternative CeeDee Lamb at 1.11.
- 1.11 — CeeDee Lamb: Market price stays ahead of his 15.5; alternative Justin Jefferson at 1.12.
- 1.12 — Justin Jefferson: This accepts market cost despite 11.9; alternative James Cook III at 2.01.
- 2.01 — James Cook III: Produced 17.8 across 17 games; alternative Chase Brown, also at 2.01.
- 2.02 — Chase Brown: His 16.6 keeps the running back run intact; alternative Rashee Rice at 2.03.
- 2.03 — Rashee Rice: Scored 18.8 over 8 games; alternative Derrick Henry at 2.05.
- 2.04 — Derrick Henry: Logged 16.4 across 17 games; alternative A.J. Brown at 2.06.
Jefferson’s 2026 draft price is 15 picks earlier than his 2025 production justifies, making this a market-faithful selection rather than a production discount.
2.05-2.12: Resolve the final tier
- 2.05 — A.J. Brown: His 14.7 narrowly tops the alternative, Ashton Jeanty at 14.4.
- 2.06 — Ashton Jeanty: Exact 2.06 ADP after 14.4; alternative Saquon Barkley at 2.07.
- 2.07 — Saquon Barkley: Holds his market slot with 14.5; alternative Chris Olave at 2.08.
- 2.08 — Chris Olave: Scored 16.7 and has an 82 playoff matchup score; alternative Nico Collins at 2.08.
- 2.09 — Nico Collins: His 15.1 supports the price; alternative George Pickens at 2.09.
- 2.10 — George Pickens: Produced 17.2 across 17 games; alternative Omarion Hampton at 2.11.
- 2.11 — Omarion Hampton: Scored 15.1 over 9 games; alternative Kenneth Walker at 2.09.
- 2.12 — Garrett Wilson: A measured reach from 3.02 ADP; alternative Zay Flowers at 3.03.
Wilson is a boom/bust option, meaning his weekly scores swung widely: 43% of games reached 20-plus, while 29% finished below 8.
How to use this: Treat ADP as a map, not a command. Mark your preferred alternatives before drafting, use production to break ties, and leave weekly touchdown decisions for the Anytime TD Board.
