The fantasy football offseason has been filled with surprises, including the rise of young players like Brock Bowers. With just a few weeks to go before Week 1, it’s essential to react to changing draft positions and roster needs.
In this mock draft, we’re using the Zero RB strategy, which involves selecting wide receivers in the first round and waiting until later rounds to select running backs. We started with CeeDee Lamb at pick 1.03, locking up a minimum of 160 targets in the Cowboys’ passing game. This opening move sets the tone for our roster-building efforts.
Next, we selected Brock Bowers at pick 2.10, who has already shown impressive receiving numbers as an 18-year-old rookie. His potential for growth makes him a top target in the second round.
Our wide receiver selection continued with Tee Higgins at pick 3.03, a consistent performer in a high-volume passing offense. The Bengals’ commitment to pass rate is unlikely to change, making Higgins a reliable option.
At quarterback, we selected Jalen Hurts at pick 4.10, who has shown flashes of brilliance despite inconsistent volume. His potential for increased targets makes him an attractive choice.
Our running back selection was delayed until pick 5.03 with Zay Flowers, an underrated receiver in the Ravens’ offense. While his ceiling might be lower than expected, he’s a solid floor play.
In subsequent rounds, we selected TreVeyon Henderson at pick 6.10, Jerry Jeudy at pick 7.03, Jordan Mason at pick 8.10, J.K. Dobbins at pick 9.03, and Wan’Dale Robinson at pick 12.10 to round out our roster.
With a mix of wide receivers, tight ends, and quarterbacks, this Zero RB strategy mock draft has proven to be an effective approach for building a competitive team. By reacting to changing draft positions and focusing on high-volume passing offenses, we’ve secured massive upside with players like Brock Bowers and TreVeyon Henderson.
