Unless you are a dedicated daily fantasy player or your league takes the risk of holding your league championship in Week 17, you have reached the offseason of the Fantasy Football season. If you are reading this, you may identify as one of the following. You could be the reigning league champion looking to get a head start on your title defense. Maybe you have a long streak of missing your league playoffs entirely. Even those who have come in dead last place in their first two seasons of joining a new league are reading this knowing they are on the hot seat of getting kicked out if they repeat in the cellar. Regardless, you are here for one specific reason: you love fantasy football.

Lucky for you, you’re not alone in this long lay-off from anything fantasy-related. At Belly Up Sports, we are already anticipating the next fantasy season. Because of that, why not start the content right away? Joining me in this way too early mock draft for 2021 will be Jamil, Billy Whitt, Seth Falber, Chris Pinto, and Kevin Wilson. All these guys, like myself, cannot wait for an offseason of providing you guys with content. Stay tuned for all of the great work these guys are doing!

The format we will follow for this draft will be a re-draft, half-point PPR league with a standard lineup. Each contributor to this article will draft two teams and explain their reasoning for their selection. We will only be conducting five rounds, so not every position will get drafted for each team. As I mentioned, this is way too early. You’ll disagree with a ton of selections, but let’s have fun with it. With that, let’s dive into the results!

Round One

Picks 1-6

1.1: Jamil- Dalvin Cook

“There’s no clear number one pick for 2021 in my eyes. Cook’s situation will most likely be very similar next year so he seemed like the safest pick right now. The 1.01 in redraft leagues will be heavily debated going into next season.”

1.2: Billy- Alvin Kamara

“AK47 would have been my selection at the number one spot as well.  I just have to have this guy, I am in love with his game.  With an 80 reception, double-digit touchdown, top 10 running back floor, it’s a no-brainer for me.”

1.3: Seth- Christian McCaffrey

“The top few picks are undoubtedly going to be running backs next year, and there are about four or five that can be taken with the top selections. If I had the first overall selection, I would have chosen McCaffrey. To have him fall to the third pick was beautiful. Due to injury, people are forgetting the threat McCaffrey can be. In the games he played this year he put up 27, 22.8, and 32.1. Even at the third pick, he is arguably being disrespected. Mike Davis was able to be a top fantasy running back in the Carolina Panthers’ offense. McCaffrey should, at worst, be a top-three pick. If he falls any farther, that’s a gift”

1.4: Chris- Ezekiel Elliott

“I’m doubling down this year with Zeke. His 4.7 career yards per carry, 45 TDs, and career 97 yards per game makes him my favorite bell-cow running back and has been a staple of mine all season long. While the cowboys were firing on all cylinders, Zeke finished as a top 7 running back in four out of five games. Let’s also not forget in his tenure as a Cowboy he has never been on an injury report, getting a top four selection, one of the biggest factors is availability. To end his season he finishes as the tenth best running back, amassing 279 touches for 1,256 yards and 7 TDs. This again makes Zeke my 1.01 going into the 2021 season.”

1.5: Kevin- Derrick Henry

“When it comes to consistent, top production, his name is Derrick Henry. He is coming off a top three running back season as he led the league with 1,777 yards and scored 15 TDs. He’s led the league in rushing the past two years and has 31 touchdowns. He’s a first-round pick, regardless of league. He was a no-brainer selection.”

1.6: Billy- Saquon Barkley

“Coming off an ACL or not, I love this guy.  He’s still a lock for 300+ touches and will inevitably be the focal point of the Giants offense.  I can’t pass on his value here. Without the injury he never would have made it out of the top five.  I’m elated to build my team around this workhorse running back.”

Picks 7-12

1.7: Seth- Aaron Jones

“Some might consider this pick a reach. I do not blame you if you feel that way. However, having lost my fantasy league this year due to lack of running backs, I am willing to reach. I am a firm believer in bell-cow running backs. I could have picked Nick Chubb in this position, as he played lights out throughout the season, but Kareem Hunt is always lurking. As long as Rodgers is on the Packers, the offense will continue to thrive, and Jones is no exception to that. Even with Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon on the team, Jones received almost 15 carries per game this year and was a part of the passing game as well. After two years of strong fantasy performances, it may be time to believe he is truly an elite fantasy running back.”

1.8: Max- Davante Adams

Last year in one of my fantasy drafts, I took Michael Thomas over Derrick Henry, and I told myself it would be hard for me to ever take a receiver in the first round again. Luckily, my second-round pick was Davante Adams, who was nothing short of spectacular playing with likely-MVP Aaron Rodgers. In year two of Matt LaFleur’s offense, this duo was unstoppable, even with Adams missing two and a half games. He is a slam-dunk first-rounder, and with my preferred running back options off the board, he is the obvious pick.

1.9: Kevin- James Robinson

“Even playing for the worst team in the league as an undrafted rookie, James Robinson was the fourth best back. He had 1,070 yards rushing and averaged 4.5 yards a carry. Best of all, he had 10 total touchdowns, contributing on the ground and in the air. The sky’s the limit on what has to be an improved Jaguar team. He’s definitely worthy of a first-round pick.”

1.10: Jamil- Travis Kelce

“The positional advantage Kelce gives you any given week is amazing. I’ll take him in the late first round any day of the week.”

1.11: Chris- Tyreek Hill

“Sitting at the back of the draft order is always fun. You can formulate a plan and almost always execute it. Sitting with duck, duck, goose picks I decided to go with the historically scary zero running backs strategy. I selected Tyreek Hill, the unstoppable speedster who finished with 328.9 fantasy points earning him the second best ranking of a receiver on the year.”

1.12: Max- Nick Chubb

“Coming into the 2020 season, I was very concerned about how much Kareem Hunt would cut into Chubb’s workload. Not only did he finish as a borderline top running back, but he also did so despite missing four and a half games. It became very clear that first-year Head Coach Kevin Stefanski wanted to emphasize the run as he did in Minnesota. Chubb was the main beneficiary, and this should only continue in year two of this offense.”

Round Two

Picks 13-18

2.1: Max- Jonathan Taylor

“All signs pointed to Taylor having a successful rookie year. One of the most successful NCAA running backs of this past generation, he was able to walk onto a strong offense with one of the NFL’s best offensive line blocking for him. Unfortunately, it took Taylor a while to find his footing, causing plenty of frustration from fantasy owners. However, if you stuck with him, the investment paid off when it mattered most. Taylor combined for 469 total yards with 5 touchdowns from Weeks 13-16. Despite Philip Rivers‘ future being unknown, Taylor owning the backfield will produce top-end running back results regardless of who is under center.”

2.2: Chris- Patrick Mahomes

“As my proverbial “goose” pick arrived, I selected the most golden of geese, the half a billion-dollar man, Patrick Mahomes. Stacking my first-round selection with his gunslinger was a most excellent choice. Mahomes accumulating 373.7 fantasy points and being a top five quarterback in PPG is a hole in one.”

2.3: Jamil- Austin Ekeler

“Despite an injury-riddled season for Ekeler, he showed he can produce top running back numbers as the top back in the Chargers offense. In year two with Justin Herbert under center and the possibility of a new head coach coming to Los Angeles, I expect Ekeler to maintain his strong fantasy production.”

2.4: Kevin- DeAndre Hopkins

“To say DeAndre Hopkins had a successful first season in Arizona is a massive understatement. Hopkins finished as the fourth best receiver and was as consistent as ever. He was huge down the stretch with eight or more catches in his last four games. The former Texan finished with 111 catches for 1,372 yards. In year two he should be even better, making him an excellent second-round value.”

2.5: Max- Josh Jacobs

“While the numbers may appear that Jacobs had a pretty solid season, I think the consensus is that he fell short of expectations. After bursting onto the scene in his rookie year, it was widely anticipated that he was on his way to being the next superstar Alabama running back. While nearly 1,000 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns provide great production, there still feels like there is more there. Based on his increased volume, including activity in the receiving game, I expect Jacobs to come in next year and put up the numbers that we all expected this past year.”

2.6: Seth- Joe Mixon

“Mixon was a difficult choice. He has shown flashes of high fantasy potential over the last few years with many double-digit days. Additionally, Mixon receives a large amount of rushing attempts per game allowing him the continued chance to provide points. As I said with my Aaron Jones selection, being a number one running back is very important in today’s running back by committee league. When thinking about next year, it is important to wonder what the state of the team will be. The Bengals and Mixon are in a peculiar situation, as the offense has started to show that they have the talent to be a playoff team. However, there are plenty of questions. Is Joe Burrow going to be ready for the start of the next season? Will they draft an offensive lineman? Will the Bengals actually be ahead for once and be able to not abandon the run? There is a lot left to be determined and a whole offseason to get the answers. If the answers to those questions are yes, that can only mean good things ahead from Mixon.”

Picks 19-24

2.7: Billy- Antonio Gibson

“The wide receiver turned running back showed serious promise in the Football Team’s backfield and left me with egg on my face. Crossing my fingers their offense acquires a quarterback that can help him reach his full potential, I was happy to add him as my second running back. It was a coinflip between Gibson and Miles Sanders here.”

2.8: Kevin- George Kittle

“Tight end was a vast wasteland in 2020 and George Kittle was right in the middle of it. He missed nine games, but still finished #19 at the position with 41 catches. Kittle and the 49ers will both be healthy next year and he will once again be the second best tight end in football.”

2.9: Chris- DK Metcalf

“I’ve always gone back-to-back running backs sitting in a top six seat, but with the 21st overall selection, I took Calvin Joh… I mean D.K. Metcalf! What a sophomore breakout season he has had, the sixth best receiver on the year totaling 80 touches for 1,282 yards and 10 TDs scoring 266.2 fantasy points for your teams. He will have a larger role next year and will finish as a top three receiver in 2021.”

2.10: Seth- Miles Sanders

“Doug Pederson is notorious for not running the ball. Very few coaches have called more passes than him since he has been in the league, but still, Miles Sanders was a very viable threat throughout the season last year. This year is one to be ignored as an ever-changing offensive line and brutal quarterback play held him back. Something to keep an eye on is the fact that the Eagles were a run-heavy team when Jalen Hurts became the quarterback. While those touches went more to Hurts than to Sanders, it is something to consider assuming he is the starter next year and not Carson Wentz. As the line gets healthy and the quarterback position is hopefully resolved, Sanders should be able to produce in a big way.

2.11: Billy- Stefon Diggs

“The running back position was demolished in the first and second rounds. With the wide receivers starting to be dipped into pretty heavily and DK Metcalf going two selections before me, I decided to take 2020’s third best receiver Stefon Diggs. His connection with quarterback Josh Allen will only get stronger. I was anxiously awaiting Jamil’s selections as my running backs became a priority in round three.”

2.12: Jamil- D’Andre Swift

“Once the Lions began giving Swift the bulk of the running back snaps, he really started producing. I love his upside for next season.”

Round Three

Picks 25-30

3.1: Jamil- Calvin Ridley

“I think it’s safe to say Atlanta had a new top receiver. Ridley showed he is an elite receiver in 2020.”

3.2: Billy- J.K. Dobbins

“Yes! He made it! J.K. Dobbins didn’t get double-digit touches until Week 8 and still finished as a top three running back. The player, the offense, and the opportunity share; this is a huge opportunity for big dividends on this investment in round three. He would have been gone in two picks to Chris otherwise.”

3.3: Seth- A.J. Brown

“Let me start by saying AJ Brown is super cool. Additionally, he was on an absolute tear this season. Defenses need to fear the Titans’ run game and in doing so will sometimes let AJ Brown fall through the cracks. Even with Corey Davis looking like the wide receiver he was drafted to be, Brown has been the number one guy. With 10 touchdowns and over 1000 receiving yards, Brown has shown there is no stopping him. As Ryan Tannehill continues to show he is the real deal without Adam Gase, the connection between him and Brown will only improve. Brown is a young and talented player that can truly be an elite receiver.”

3.4: Chris- Darren Waller

“After deviating from my normal running back heavy draft approach, I decided to go a more balanced route as the player pool has a lot of depth in the mid to later rounds. With the 28th pick I selected my guy the “Walrus,” the second best tight end on the year has been nothing short of exceptional, tallying 98 touches for 1,078 yards and 8 TDs. He is the focal point of the Raiders offense and shows no signs of slowing down. At that position, excluding Kelce, Waller is the clear cut number one. I had to make the move on my favorite sixth offensive lineman. Look for Waller to continue his dominance as a top two tight end in 2021.”

3.5: Kevin-Michael Thomas

“There’s no need to review the 2020 season Michael Thomas had as he missed games with injuries and other issues. However, before this year, Thomas was the top receiver in the game. Just remember his 2019 season: 149 catches for 1,725 yards. He will return to health next year and he will have massive value in the third round.”

3.6: Billy- Justin Jefferson

“With the running back position already getting thin, it was time to add a solid wide receiver. 2020’s seventh best receiver as a rookie gives me great hope that he will repeat as a top receiver in his second season in Minnesota. Who will their quarterback be? That is the question…”

Picks 31-36

3.7: Seth- Julio Jones

“For Julio to fall this far is truly disrespectful. The man may never reach the end zone but he is still one of the best receivers in the NFL. With countless targets and a receiver on the other side to take off some pressure, Julio has no reason not to be a quality receiver for your fantasy team. Even with the rumors of him or Matt Ryan being traded, this may actually benefit Jones even more.”

3.8: Max- Clyde Edwards-Helaire

“Being the first running back selected in the draft and joining the reigning Super Bowl champions, Edwards-Helaire was a highly sought out player in fantasy drafts this past season. He had games where he looked like was the perfect piece for this offense while also having performances where he didn’t look capable of being a lead back. Despite that, he will still have a featured role in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense. Hopefully, for him, he will be able to participate in a full offseason without any COVID restrictions, leading to more success.”

3.9: Kevin- Allen Robinson

“Despite playing for an offensively challenged Chicago team, Allen Robinson was outstanding as usual. He was seventh receiver on the season. He had six games with over 20 PPR points and was over 100 yards in seven games. His 1,213 yards were the second-most in his career. Robinson is always a top receiver and a great third-round pick.”

3.10: Jamil- Keenan Allen

“I didn’t necessarily want to double-dip on the Chargers top two weapons, but Keenan in any PPR format is too good to pass up. Like Ekeler, I am expecting Allen to have an even better season after performing so well with Herbert this past season.”

3.11: Chris- Mike Evans

“With the 35th selection, and keeping my zero backs strategy in the draft, I selected out of Texas A&M University, Mike Evans! Okay a bit biased with the pick, but the guy has had an amazing season with a fresh new quarterback at the helm. Evans, the eleventh-ranked receiver, gathered 67 touches, 943 yards, and 13 TDs. Look for Evans to have a better season in 2021, Thanks and Gig ‘EM!”

3.12: Max- David Montgomery

“It took a year and a half, but Matt Nagy finally figured out how to use his young running back, and it probably saved him his job. Since returning from a concussion and the Bears’ bye week, Montgomery has put up over 100 yards in every game and has found the end zone seven total times. Assuming Nagy doesn’t forget over the offseason that Montgomery should remain the focal point of the offense, I am more than happy to pencil him in as my Flex.”

Round Four

Picks 37-42

4.1: Max- Lamar Jackson

“As a Josh Allen lover, it was really tough to pass on him here. However, I am convinced we saw the floor for this Baltimore offense this past season. Jackson might have fallen short of expectations for his MVP encore, but with JK Dobbins leading the backfield and the Ravens inevitably bringing in another pass-catcher during the offseason, Jackson should still be the second quarterback off fantasy boards after Mahomes.”

4.2: Chris- Adam Thielen

“To round out my trio of wideouts, I selected Adam Thielen, the tenth best receiver on the year. With Justin Jefferson most likely nabbing Offensive Rookie of the Year, Thielen has been lost in the shuffle. With 73 touches, 883 yards, and 14 TDs, Thielen ranks as a top eight receiver in PPG. As my third receiver, I could not have been more excited. With the emergence of Justin Jefferson, look for Thielen to have a slight regression in the touchdown category in 2021.”

4.3: Jamil- Ronald Jones

“Cam Akers totally slipped through the cracks here. I would have taken him if I had been paying better attention. Jones is a fine consolation prize though. He showed he can be the guy in Tampa in 2020.”

4.4: Kevin- Justin Herbert

“Justin Herbert was the rookie of the year in fantasy and real-life in my opinion. He was the eighth best quarterback on the year, despite not playing in the first two games. He completed 66-percent of his passes for 4,034 yards. Herbert broke the rookie record for TD passes with 28. He will be even better in 2021 and will return excellent fourth-round value.”

4.5: Max- Chris Carson

“Let Russ Cook” was fun while it lasted, but this offense struggled mightily when Carson went down with a foot injury. With a lot of mouths to feed in this offense, Carson still proved the Seahawks with a reliable lead back. He will be a free agent this offseason, but Pete Carroll has already said that bringing him back will be a priority. Assuming he stays in Seattle, expect Carson to maintain his status as a reliable fantasy option.

4.6: Seth- Chris Godwin

“Although Chris Godwin is in a rather crowded offense and could leave in free agency, that should not prevent him from being a top wide receiver in fantasy football, assuming he returns to Tampa. In 11 games Godwin had three that were not double-digit points. In eight of his games, he received five or more targets. Tom Brady loves to throw to his slot receiver, so it should come as no surprise that Godwin would be a premier target. Bruce Arians wants Brady to throw deep, but Brady prefers the shorter passes. Godwin can be wherever you want him.”

Picks 43-48

4.7: Billy- Cam Akers

“Akers didn’t get consistent work until Week 13, but when he did he flashed the talent many of us thought he possessed with 171 yards vs New England. This is another great mix of talent, situation and available workload heading into the 2021 season. Akers has high running back potential and will be a fantastic addition to this lineup.”

4.8: Kevin- Josh Allen

“What a dynamic season Josh Allen had this year as he was the second best quarterback. He completed 69-percent of his passes, which was a huge upgrade over his first two seasons. He had 4,320 yards and 34 passing touchdowns, not to mention what he contributed in the running game. Many think that he was the MVP of the 2020 season. He’s an excellent value in the fourth round.”

4.9: Chris- Kareem Hunt

“Rounds four and five I told myself I would get back to the running back position and to my delight, Hunt was on the board! The eighth best back on the year finishing with 225 touches, 1,104 yards, and 11 TDs this man has been my ride or die in fantasy formats ever since he left Toledo. The way the Browns have been running the ball they can obviously support two great running backs. Hunts usage should stay the same in 2021 even with a healthy Nick Chubb, if you have listened to Belly Up Fantasy Live and have heard one of my many rants about the Hunt-Chubb debate, you know how I feel. Hunt is my “don’t believe me, just watch” moment of 2020 outscoring Chubb by 22.5 pts. Go Rockets!

4.10: Seth- Kenny Golladay

“It is very hard to determine Kenny Golladay’s value at the moment. While Golladay is set to hit free agency, seeing the Lions let him go for nothing is hard to imagine. However, with a full rebuild appearing inevitable, the next Lions regime in the post-Matt Patricia era might not want to pay top dollar for their best receiver since Calvin Johnson. Along with that, D’Andre Swift proved to be a capable every-down running back and Matthew Stafford‘s future in Detroit is up in the air. Despite the question marks, Golladay proved that when he is healthy, he is a top receiver, and I expect that to continue wherever he plays next season.”

4.11: Billy- Deshaun Watson

“With this pick being late in Round 4, we had started to get into some reach territory and none of the backs or receivers are guys I had to have here. I took Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson rounding out a formidable, yet balanced starting lineup through four rounds. I was eyeballing Bills quarterback Josh Allen here, but he went just a few spots earlier than my selection. Thanks again, Kevin…”

4.12: Jamil- DJ Moore

“Moore was a bit of a letdown in 2020, but he wasn’t as bad as some people think. I’ll take a chance on some improvement going into next year.”

Round Five

Picks 49-54

5.1: Jamil- Will Fuller V

“There are certainly question marks surrounding Fuller heading into next year. Will he be on the Texans? Can he stay healthy without the PEDs? I’ll take the risk here though.”

5.2: Billy- CeeDee Lamb

“Another opportunity to snag a player with huge upside with a fantastic situation and already showing great promise as a rookie. CeeDee Lamb ended 2020 as the sixteenth best receiver, one spot behind his counterpart Amari Cooper (who was available here). A whole season with Dak Prescott healthy gives CeeDee real top receiver potential.”

5.3: Seth- Myles Gaskin

“The running back position is very important in fantasy football. To find a bell cow running back in today’s league is rather difficult. Because of this, grabbing one in the fifth round of the draft was a must. When selecting, I debated taking Gaskin in the third round but chose to bank on him falling further. Fortunately, he did. While the Dolphins may go out and draft a quality running back to pair with Gaskin, he has proven that he can be a quality starter for your fantasy football team. To get him in addition to McCaffrey and Sanders means my running backs and flex should be in good hands.”

5.4: Chris- Travis Etienne

“Wait… huh? Yes, yes, I know, but Chris, he hasn’t even been drafted yet. I get it, Travis Etienne has the skills and prowess to be a three down back in the NFL day one. He has improved in all strength, speed, agility markers, and has improved his yards after contact abilities. Being a dual-threat out of the backfield, he averaged 7.8 yards per carry for 1,614 yards with 19 touchdowns. He also had 37 receptions for 432 yards and four touchdowns. Etienne is my 1.01 in all rookie drafts, and look for me to keep the hype train going in the offseason.”

5.5: Kevin- Amari Cooper

“Despite not having a useful quarterback after Dak Prescott was injured, Amari Cooper was the fourteenth best receiver on the year. He had 86 catches for 1,073 yards and 5 TDs. With Prescott back under center in 2021, Cooper will be a top receiver once again. He’s a great value pick in the fifth round.”

5.6: Billy- Najee Harris

“I expect Najee to be the first running back off the board come April’s NFL Draft. The talent speaks for itself. The situation he ends up in will greatly affect his pre-fantasy draft hype, but with Travis Etienne already coming off the board, it was time to make a play for a potential star in round five.”

Picks 55-60

5.7: Seth- DJ Chark

“This pick is purely based on the selection of Trevor Lawrence and the hire of Urban Meyer. Chark may not be the number one receiver next year. There may be no connection between him and Lawrence. However, looking ahead to next season, one can only believe that the top target on the Jaguars playing with one the best college football prospects ever should be able to flourish.”

5.8: Max- Mark Andrews

“Andrews struggled with inconsistency along with the rest of the Ravens’ offense. Despite that, he still finished in the top five in the black hole that is the tight end position. The drop-off after Andrews with Kelce, Kittle, and Waller off the board is a path I would like to avoid. Because of that, I will be satisfied with Lamar Jackson’s favorite target in the passing game.”

5.9: Kevin- Kenyan Drake

“No question, Kenyan Drake had a tough 2020. He missed two games with injuries and had Chase Edmonds battling for his job all year. Despite that, Drake finished as the fourteenth best back and scored 10 TDs. He averaged 4.0 yards per carry and has a 4.5 career average. He has the potential for a massive season and returns a great value for a fifth-round selection.”

5.10: Jamil- Terry McLaurin

“Scary Terry’s quarterback situation should be less terrifying next season. Any minor boost in quarterback performance could lead to a number one receiver season for McLaurin.”

5.11: Chris- Chuba Hubbard

“The back end of the fifth round is where I needed to find my sleeper a running back for my zero back mold. Looking at stats and going over the game film the top three backs in the class for me are Etienne, Harris, and Hubbard. With the first two already selected, I knew I have to make the move on Hubbard. He has some work to do in pass protection, but nothing a good offseason can’t provide. In his last full season at Oklahoma State, Hubbard averaged 6.4 yards per carry for 2,094 yards with 21 touchdowns. He had 23 catches for 198 yards as well. Depending on the landing spot for Hubbard… whispers Buffalo… he could be a top two back out of the class.”

5.12: Max- Brandon Aiyuk

“While I wanted to be flashy like my counterparts and dedicate this pick to Heisman finalist DeVonta Smith, it is hard for me to ever pass up an opportunity to rave about Aiyuk. There was every possible excuse for Aiyuk to flop in his rookie year. Despite that, he showed potential to become the alpha receiver in Kyle Shanahan’s offense once there is consistent quarterback play in San Francisco (Hello, Matthew Stafford). If he can get this, we may be in store for a DK Metcalf-like jump in Aiyuk’s sophomore season.”

We hope you enjoyed reading this way too early mock draft. As always, opinions will change as the offseason goes on. Chances are we will look back at this in September and laugh. Regardless, the main reason for conducting and releasing this mock draft was to maintain excitement and activity regarding fantasy football. If you love all things fantasy like we do at Belly Up, make sure to following along with us in the months leading up to the 2021 NFL season.
