It’s never too early to get prepared to win your fantasy football league, and that’s exactly what we’re aiming to do today. Using the DraftHero mock draft simulator at 4for4, I ran a 12-team Half PPR mock draft to gauge early values, draft-day trends, and where you might find value—or traps—in 2025 fantasy football drafts.
This particular mock uses Yahoo-specific scoring settings and the standard 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 FLEX, 1 D/ST, 1 K, and 6 bench spots format. You can expand the full draft board at the bottom of this article to follow along with each pick.
Let’s break it down by draft phase.

Fantasy Football Half PPR Mock Draft Rounds 1–4
Biggest Reach: Drake London (Round 2, Pick 1)Drake London broke out in Year 3, finishing as the WR9 overall in 2024 thanks to a strong rapport with rookie QB Michael Penix, who targeted him on an absurd 39.1% of attempts. London’s YAC was unimpressive, but he ranked 12th in yards per route run—an elite efficiency mark. With the Falcons’ offense trending up, London looks like a locked-in WR1.
Biggest Fall: Davante Adams (Round 4, Pick 11)With Cooper Kupp out of the picture, Adams could thrive in Sean McVay’s system. But at 32, and with Puka Nacua entering his prime, there’s a chance Adams sees a reduced role. That said, he’s hit 1,000+ yards in five straight seasons and remains a high-floor WR2.
Fantasy Football Half PPR Mock Draft Rounds 5–8
Takeaway: QB Run is Real—And EarlyLamar Jackson kicked things off in Round 3, and by Round 8, nearly every manager had secured a quarterback. In half-PPR leagues, where positional scarcity matters less at QB, it may be more optimal to hold off and load up on skill players while others jump the gun.
Fantasy Football Half PPR Mock Draft Rounds 9–11
Biggest Reach: Keenan Allen (Round 10, Pick 8)Allen returns to the Chargers after a disappointing season in Chicago. Now 33, his efficiency dipped, but he reunites with Justin Herbert in a system where he once thrived. Target competition is real, but Allen’s versatility and chemistry with Herbert give him WR3/4 value with PPR upside.
Fantasy Football Half PPR Mock Draft Rounds 12–14
Takeaway: Time Your Defense/Kicker RightEven if your league doesn’t require drafting a D/ST or kicker, it’s still best to take them at the end. You’ll get more flexibility in the middle rounds and still have access to quality options like the Packers, Eagles, Lions, and Chargers late.
Biggest Fall: Jaydon Blue (Round 13, Pick 2)Blue is part of a three-way backfield, but he’s easily the most explosive. With top-end speed and proven receiving chops, he doesn’t need 20 touches to be fantasy-relevant. If he earns a 10–12 touch role, he could emerge as a FLEX play in this Cowboys offense.

Half PPR Mock Draft FAQs
How is Half PPR different from Full PPR or Standard scoring?In Half PPR leagues, you get 0.5 points per reception—this strikes a balance between rewarding pass-catching RBs and not over-inflating WR value like in full PPR. In Standard leagues, receptions don’t count at all.
What positions should I prioritize in Half PPR drafts?Running backs who catch passes (but aren’t totally reliant on them) tend to shine in this format. Wide receivers are still important, but not to the same extent as in full PPR.
What’s a mock draft, and why should I do one?Mock drafts help you prepare your draft-day strategy, test positional value, and see where players are being taken across multiple builds.
When should I draft a quarterback in Half PPR?Quarterback value can spike fast. In this mock, most starters were gone by Round 8, making it essential to decide early if you’re targeting a high-end QB or planning to wait.
Is it better to draft running backs early in Half PPR leagues?While early RBs are still popular, the rise in viable WR1s makes going WR-WR in the first two rounds a real option, especially if you can grab a pass-catching RB in the third or fourth round. Mock drafts like this one help you test that balance.
What are some common mistakes in Half PPR fantasy drafts?Overreacting to early QB runs, ignoring pass-catching upside in RB2s, or reaching for D/ST and kicker too soon. DraftHero can show how different strategies play out and help you avoid those pitfalls.
