Fantasy Football Yahoo Mock Draft: Rounds 1–4
Biggest Reach: Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (Round 4, Pick 3)Joe Burrow was drafted as a top-4 QB in this Yahoo mock, but recent finishes of QB10 and QB7 suggest he’s better valued in the mid-QB1 range. With Tee Higgins returning and a shaky defense likely to push shootouts, Burrow is still a strong fantasy option—but not a reach-worthy elite pick in Round 4.
Biggest Fall: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals (Round 4, Pick 6)Harrison’s rookie season didn’t match the hype, finishing WR32 overall and WR43 per game. Poor YAC, low contested catch rate, and inconsistent quarterback play held him back. Still, his elite talent and opportunity in Arizona give him Year 2 breakout potential in fantasy.
Yahoo Mock Draft: Rounds 5–8
Draft Strategy TakeawayQuarterbacks are coming off the board early in Yahoo leagues, with names like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Baker Mayfield all gone by Round 5. If you don’t grab a top-8 option early, you risk missing out entirely or reaching later for a fringe starter. Lock in your QB plan by Round 6.
Yahoo Mock Draft: Rounds 9–11
Biggest Reach: Cam Skattebo, RB, New York Giants (Round 9, Pick 3)Cam Skattebo is battling injuries and currently behind Tyrone Tracy on the depth chart, making this Round 9 pick a bit aggressive. While he’s a capable receiver and could earn a role, he’s better suited for late-round flier status until his path to touches is clearer.
Yahoo Mock Draft: Rounds 12–14
Draft Strategy TakeawayKickers and defenses are required in Yahoo leagues, so grab yours in the final two rounds. The 49ers, Chiefs, and Rams offer strong upside based on schedule and pass-rush ability. Prioritize value and favorable matchups over name recognition.
Biggest Fall: Braelon Allen, RB, New York Jets (Round 14, Pick 7)Allen struggled in his rookie season but could inherit a valuable role in the Jets’ offense. If he fills the David Montgomery-like role behind Breece Hall, Allen has low-end RB2 potential. He’s a smart late-round stash for Zero RB drafters.e further competition for short-area targets. While his role as a receiving back in a PPR league holds some value, he’s best treated as a bench stash or injury-dependent FLEX.

Yahoo Fantasy Football Mock Draft – FAQ
What scoring format was used in this Yahoo mock draft?
This mock draft was conducted using half-PPR scoring with standard Yahoo roster settings (1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, 1K, 1D/ST, 6 bench spots). All picks were made using 4for4’s DraftHero tool.
Who were the biggest draft-day risers?
Jahmyr Gibbs going second overall was the biggest reach in the early rounds. While he’s an elite fantasy RB, his ADP in most formats hovers in the mid-to-late first round. Drafting him at 1.02 over wide receivers like CeeDee Lamb or Ja’Marr Chase was aggressive.
Who were the biggest fallers?
Marvin Harrison Jr. dropping to the fourth round was surprising given his long-term upside. Austin Ekeler slipping into the final rounds also stood out, though both players come with questions about immediate fantasy value.
How should I approach quarterback in Yahoo half-PPR leagues?
QB value dries up quickly in Yahoo fantasy drafts. While some managers still wait until Rounds 8–10, this mock showed that most top-12 quarterbacks are gone by the middle rounds. Securing a top-tier QB by Round 6–7 may be key to staying competitive.
What late-round sleepers should I target?
Depending on how your draft unfolds, backs like Austin Ekeler and Rachaad White offer some FLEX appeal. At wide receiver, names like Rashid Shaheed and Josh Downs (not taken in this mock) remain on the radar. For defenses, consider the Rams, Chiefs, or Giants as Week 1 streamers.
