2026 PPR Mock Draft - Where to Draft Jeanty?

Alvin Kamara is dealing with an injury of uncertain duration, which the source notes as a factor that could impact draft board movement in the third round.

Ashton Jeanty is currently a high-risk asset due to an ankle sprain that is likely a high ankle sprain, which typically requires a 1.5-month recovery plus a ramp-up period. The source advises against drafting him in the first or second round, suggesting he only becomes a viable target in the third round where the risk is reduced. He may not return to full value until week six or seven, though he remains a potential stash candidate if an IR spot is available.

Blake Corum is acknowledged as a backup waiting in the wings, providing necessary context for the usage expectations of Kyren Williams.

Breece Hall has theoretical top-five upside in full PPR due to his pass-catching ability, but he faces significant concerns regarding his team's poor offense, limited touchdown potential, and current injury status which impacts draft strategy.

Bucky Irving is technically a value by ADP, though the source personally ranks him at 61 compared to his current draft position of 59.

The source identifies Caleb Williams as a target for the sixth round, preferring to wait until that point in the draft to secure a quarterback. He is grouped with Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, and Trevor Lawrence as viable options in that range.

CeeDee Lamb is a priority target in the late first round of full PPR drafts. The source notes that his ceiling case hits more often in this format and considers him a preferred selection alongside Justin Jefferson.

Chase Brown is explicitly labeled a 'must-draft' player for the current season. While he is a viable roster piece, the source advises against pairing him with T. Higgins as a de-risking strategy.

The source explicitly advises against drafting Chuba Hubbard, stating they do not want him on their roster.

Colston Loveland is a priority target starting in round four, especially in full PPR formats where elite tight ends provide greater separation. The source highlights his potential for high-reception seasons and massive playoff-week upside, though warns against pairing him with Luther Burden III due to correlation risk.

D'Andre Swift was selected in the fourth round of the mock draft as part of a run on running backs.

David Montgomery was selected in the fourth round of the mock draft as part of a run on running backs.

Dontayvion Wicks is highlighted as a talented player and former first-round pick with incredible camp reports. He is expected to play the 'X' receiver role, ensuring he is on the field for nearly every play, which may give him a volume advantage over Jayden Reed.

The source identifies Drake Maye as a target for the sixth round, preferring to wait until that point in the draft to secure a quarterback. He is grouped with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, and Trevor Lawrence as viable options in that range.

Emari Demercado is highlighted as a potential late-round backup running back to target for roster depth.

The source identifies Jalen Hurts as a target for the sixth round, preferring to wait until that point in the draft to secure a quarterback. He is grouped with Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Justin Herbert, and Trevor Lawrence as viable options in that range.

The source explicitly states they absolutely want Jameson Williams in the fifth or sixth round of drafts.

Javonte Williams is a safe, high-floor option for half-PPR formats, but the source advises ranking him lower in full PPR because he does not catch many passes.

The source identifies Jayden Daniels as a target for the sixth round, preferring to wait until that point in the draft to secure a quarterback. He is grouped with Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, and Trevor Lawrence as viable options in that range.

The source identifies Jayden Reed as a good pick in the current draft range, noting that wide receivers are generally easier to project for flex production in full PPR formats. While Reed is expected to have higher efficiency metrics like targets per run and yards per run, the source notes a potential concern regarding his route participation, which may be limited to 60% of dropbacks, potentially impacting his overall volume.

Jaden Reed is listed as a receiver on the mock draft roster.

Jaylen Warren was selected in the fourth round of the mock draft and was noted as one of the running backs taken off the board.

Jeremiah Love is a high-upside rookie with pass-catching ability, but he carries significant risk due to playing on a potentially poor offense with a difficult schedule and existing injury concerns.

Joe Burrow is off the board, impacting quarterback availability for the mock draft.

Jonathon Brooks was mentioned as a running back taken off the board.

Josh Allen is unavailable at the 3/4 turn, removing him from consideration for that draft slot.

The source identifies Justin Herbert as a target for the sixth round, noting that securing him in the seventh round would be awesome value. He is grouped with other quarterback targets like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, and Trevor Lawrence.

Justin Jefferson is identified as the number one wide receiver in fantasy and a priority target in the late first round of full PPR leagues. He has an elite track record, particularly when not playing with J.J. McCarthy, and is also considered a solid value if available in the late third round.

Keaton Mitchell is a preferred draft target, with the source specifically citing his 123 ADP as a better value than later-round alternatives at 153.

Kyren Williams is considered a safe, high-floor pick who plays on a high-scoring offense and is projected for significant touchdown production (12 TDs). Despite limited reception upside and the presence of Blake Corum, he is a reliable option to avoid roster failure.

Lamar Jackson is unavailable at the 3/4 turn and is already on the team roster, influencing the draft strategy to avoid taking another quarterback.

The source strongly recommends drafting Mike Washington, labeling him an absolute target for late-round picks and suggesting managers reach significantly ahead of ADP to secure him. He is viewed as a key factor in the backfield who allows the team to manage Ashton Jeanty's injury recovery, though he carries risk as he may not start over Chase Brown or Kyren Williams and could face competition if the team signs another back.

Rashid Shaheed is mentioned as a solid late-round wide receiver option, though the source questions the necessity of drafting him as a seventh receiver given the low probability of usage.

Ray Davis is a key backup running back to target, as he would gain significant fantasy value should an injury occur to James Cook.

Rhamondre Stevenson is a priority target in the late seventh round, as he is expected to lead the team in carries to start the season and likely throughout the year, given that his competition has failed to improve in pass protection or reading blocks.

Rico Dowdle was mentioned as a running back taken off the board.

Stefon Diggs is considered a high-quality draft pick by the source, serving as a reliable veteran option to anchor a wide receiver corps alongside younger, more volatile targets. He is viewed as a good pick in the current draft range and a reliable option for the flex spot.

Travis Etienne was selected in the fourth round of the mock draft as part of a run on running backs.

The source identifies Trevor Lawrence as a target for the sixth round, noting that securing him in the seventh round would be awesome value. The source also selected him as their starting quarterback in a mock draft, noting that pairing him with Parker Washington is a viable strategy.

The source is warming up to Tucker Kraft, who was selected in the fifth round of the mock draft.
