Fantasy Football Mock Draft From Pick #10, Emeka Egbuka is This Team's Breakout Star

Being handed the 10th pick in this season’s Fantasy Football draft brings a multitude of star-studed options Fantasy managers have to analyze.

For the sake of this moch draft, the league consists of 12 teams and the roster is 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex and 6 Bench.

Pick 1.10: Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings WR

CeeDee Lamb and James Cook are other stars who should be available at this spot, but Jefferson is set up to return as a upper-echelon Fantasy wide receiver.

Jefferson had the worst QB situation in his career last season as J.J McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer shared time under center, which led to the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year worst Fantasy season of his career.

Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Jefferson has a consisten provider in Kyler Murray at QB. Having Murray, who led Trey McBrdie and DeAndre Hopkins to top Fantasy season, will lead to Jefferson rebounding from a porous season by his standards.

Having consistency at QB will lead Jefferson back to a tier 1 wide receiver, well worth the 10th pick.

Pick 2.03: Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals RB

Brown came on towards the end of the season last year and looks to build on that momentum into the 2026 season.

Having Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on the outside will lighten up the box for Brown, which will make the most out of Brown’s rushing attempts.

Brown provides upside as a receiver out of the backfield as his 88 targets was fourth most among running backs last year and led to 69 receptions for 437 receiving yards.

With the Bengals in a wide-open AFC North, expect Brown to continue his usage and build upon last season’s late run.

Pick 3.10: Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR

Egbuka has all the tools to build upon a successful rookie season, where he led all rookie receivers in targets.

Mike Evans is gone and Chris Godwin Jr. is coming off of back-to-back injury-hampered seasons, giving Egbuka the clear path to be Bucs WR 1.

Being a clear WR 1 will keep Egbuka high target rate and lead to a higher Fantasy output. DeVonta Smith and Malik Nabers are interesting prospects if they drop this far, but they should get scooped before hand, leaving Egbuka as a solid consolation.

Pick 4.03: Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears TE

Loveland showcased his Fantasy ceiling from week 12 and onward, finishing as TE 3 in PPR leagues and even as the Bears leading pass catcher, despite the slow start.

Loveland should build upon the fantastic finish to his rookie season as his head coach Ben Johnson has a history of producing top-tier Fantasy tight end seasons, as seen with Sam LaPorta.

Loveland is also building a rapport with Caleb Williams, which will get stronger in the duo’s second season together.

Pick 5.10: Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars RB

The Jags need someone to fill Travis Etienne Jr. 's 296 touches after he left this offseason and Tuten should take the majority of the work.

Tuten was recently named co-starter alongside Chris Rodriguez Jr., but with the Jags running back rotation throughout training camp, Tuten should see the bulk of the carries.

Pick 6.03: Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars WR

Going back-to-back Jags here, but Thomas Jr. is closer to the WR 4 from 2024 than his production from last year.

The biggest Fantasy question on the Jags is who is WR 1 and Thomas Jr. can fill that role if he rebounds from last season.

Getting Thomas Jr. at this spot, a year removed from a WR 4 season can pay dividen if Thomas Jr. refinds his form.

Pick 7.10 : Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals WR

Wilson delivered a WR 13 season last year, the best of his career and is a safe option heading to draft season.

The Cardinals will be down a lot this season, leading to a pass-heavy game script. This will lead to more targets for Wilson and a higher Fantasy output, akin to what Fantasy managers saw last season.

Pick 8.03: Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears RB

Monangai should see an increased workload heading into his second season.

Head coach Ben Johnson has displayed that two running backs can be viable in his offense, which bodes well for Monangai.

If D’Andre Swift misses time during the season Monangai displayed what he can do as a lead back in his 22.8 Fantasy points performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in week 9.

Pick 9.10: Kyler Murray, Minnesota Vikings QB

Murray recently won the Vikings starting job and will serve as a stack with our first-round pick.

A new home will give Murray to regain his Fantasy form and help Jefferson along the way as well.

Pick 10.03: Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB

Mayfield is a proven gunslinger during his time in Tampa and will be a serviceable backup in case anything happens to Murray.

Mayfield also serves as a stack with Egbuka whenever he has to step in for Murray.

Pick 11.10: Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys K

It’s tempting to take Aubrey as early as pick 10.03, but he should still be available at this point. Aubrey has an unbelievable leg with impeccable accuray and is well worth the reach.

Pick 12.03: Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints RB

Kamara has been splitting RB 1 reps throughout training camp with Etienne Jr. and if that trend continues into the season, the five-time pro bowler will outperform this draft selection.

Kamara is particularly intriguing in Half-PPR and PPR leagues as Kamara is notorious for his receiving ability out of the backfield.

Pick 13.10: Hunter Henry, New England Patriots TE

Henry will fill in for Loveland if the Bears TE misses time. Henry was Maye’s favorite weapon last year and should see some work even after the Patriots acquired A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.

Pick 14.03 : Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST

This is just a filler selection, picking up D/ST in favorable matchups off the waiver wire is my preferred method at D/ST

Pick 15.10: Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins WR

It’s rare to see a WR 1 available this late in the draft and Washington is worth a flier for that sole reason. Much like Wilson, Washington will see a multitude of targets thanks to a negative game script.
