The Sports Illustrated fantasy and betting staff and friends held a 12-team, 16-round, full-point PPR draft that required each team to field a starting lineup with one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, two flex spots (RB/WR/TE), and one tight end. A kicker or a defense was not required for the purposes of this particular mock draft.

The participants included me, Isaiah De Los Santos, Brian Giuffra, Richard Louis, Iain MacMillan, Devon Platana, Christopher Schad, Jason Schandl, Joseph Summers, Lindsay Rhodes of Sumer Sports, Jen Piacenti of Shark Bets, and Bob Harris of FootballGuys.

Below are the full results of the 16-round mock draft. You can find draft analysis, roster-building strategies, and the favorite and least favorite picks from each of our 12 fantasy managers here.

Enjoy!
