Overview
- Bleacher Report released a 12-team PPR mock on Aug. 30 using FantasyPros’ simulator, slotting Ja'Marr Chase at No. 1 overall to reflect current market consensus.
- Updated cheat sheets emphasize opening rounds on high-volume RBs/WRs, considering elite TEs in the early-to-middle range, and deferring defenses and kickers to the final picks.
- Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen headline QB ranks, with Bijan Robinson atop RBs and Ja'Marr Chase leading WRs, while Brock Bowers and Trey McBride pace the TE tier.
- Late-round values highlighted include Caleb Williams as a mid-round QB with upside (ADP near 106), Jerome Ford as a discounted starting RB option (around 135), and Jalen Coker as a deep WR flier (about 235).
- USA TODAY’s RB preview, updated Aug. 30, reinforces the draft window and lists Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley and Jahmyr Gibbs at the top, with potential bust flags for names such as Kyren Williams and Breece Hall.
