Trendsetter’s Draft: Second Round

This league is a PPR format, with quarterbacks scoring six points for passing touchdowns (minus two fantasy points for an interception). The NFFC uses third-round reversal, meaning the 14th team has the first selection in the third round.

The of the opening high-stakes draft was loaded with wide receivers (9) due to the league's size (14 teams) and some drafters' preference to build a strong, wide receiver corps.

With the Trendsetter’s draft being a Draft Champions format (no waiver wire with BestBall scoring) and quarterbacks scoring six points for passing touchdowns, the top quarterbacks flew off the board over the first half of the second round. In addition, the advantage of selecting early in the third round was also a factor in their team builds.

15 – Josh Allen, BUF

16 – Lamar Jackson, BAL

17 – Joe Burrow, CIN

18 – De’Von Achane, MIA

19 – Jayden Daniels, WAS

20 – Jalen Hurts, PHI

21 – Derrick Henry, BAL
