What strategies are discussed for the 2026 fantasy football draft?
Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Welcome in. That was a little loud for me too, Mike. I liked it.
It's a mock draft day, so. Just break their speakers. Take it up a notch.
Tuesday, June 30th, mock draft episode. Andy, Mike, and Jason, the fantasy footballers with you. Al Borland, Papa Josh, and the Falcon also back there. And, yeah, we got a mock draft today. It'll be fun. We've got a full crew of staff and writers helping us out on the mock draft, so it'll be all real people, and we'll see where we're at here at the end of June. I'm sure our teams will look fantastic or bad.
Is this an eight-team league?
What are the highlights of the 12-team mock draft format?
No, it's not. Oh, darn it. It's a 12-team league. But we'll get into that. UltimateDraftKid.com if you want to check that out. All of our sleepers, breakouts, busts, values, player projections, stat projections for every single player in the entire fantasy football world. 130,000 words of original content written by human beings. if that's what you call Kyle and Betts and the rest of this crew. But, no, it's the number one resource for getting ready for draft day. That's what this mock draft's about today as well. And you can find us over on X at the FFBallers if you want to follow us there. Jason's at Jason Moore. I'm at Andy Holloway. Mike is at FFHitman.
Yep, still no at Mike.
Which players are recommended for trades later in the season?
No, your name is the problem. Your name is too... I remind my parents.
They shouldn't have called you Mike? Yeah. It's like, boring! No, you should have been like... Mikel.
That's better. I don't know. You like that more?
I mean, it's got a little more flavor. Flavor? I don't know.
Quick question of the day from Eli. Who's a player that you won't target at your draft but you'll try to trade for later on?
How do the hosts evaluate rookie players during the draft?
I'll start because mine's sad. Because we haven't really talked, I think, a ton about the New England Patriots running back situation. I've talked about Henderson on the Dynasty podcast. I am a little concerned. And the draft community is not. Travion Henderson is going in the middle of the fourth on sleeper. You had his breakout. It was awesome. Our hopes and dreams felt like they were being fulfilled for a couple games. And then Ramondre came back, and they were like, yeah, we like Ramondre Stevenson a whole lot. So the disparity. So this is acceptance from you in a lot of ways. Yes, it is. Because when it's a rookie, and it's like, I think Henderson is just so much better than Romandre Stevenson.
What are the best practices for managing a fantasy football team?
Because he is. Well, thank you, Chase.
Thank you. That's some stuff for sure.
It is. Unfortunately, it becomes this thing where it's like you have to disparage Romandre. That's it, yeah. And it's...
The poor guy. He was good.
Ramondre had a very good year, and he's still going to be super involved. And the ADP market difference between Hendo and Ramondre for a timeshare that could see Ramondre as the leader. If nothing else, it's just a timeshare. And Ramondre could soak up a bunch of the touchdowns. Just in the fourth round, plus the first three games, at least compared to last year's strength of schedule, it's tougher.
Which players are considered sleepers and busts this season?
It's a tough three games for the running back position for fantasy scoring. Henderson's really not on my draft board where he is at ADP. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully they end up unleashing Henderson with some volume in those first three games. But even with the volume, it might be harder for him to get going. Yeah, I don't think you're going to be able to trade for him. I'm on the Henderson side. I believe that he overtakes Ramondre this year now that he's not a rookie and they need more out. They're going to be playing tougher teams. They're not just going to be winning every game all the time. And I think that they're going to need Henderson on the field. So I expect him to get off to a hot start. I've got a similar pick in mind, the guy that I feel like – So are you good with Hendo's ADP?
I am fine with it because I actually think he's going to succeed.
How does the host's strategy evolve throughout the mock draft?
He's going to get 60% of the work. Out the gate. The drumbeat has not been that direction.
