2026 College Fantasy • Mock Draft Lab
The Half-PPR Mock Draft
A full 12-team, 10-round snake mock built straight off the CFBDynasty 2026 Half-PPR board — every pick is a real player from our model, with twelve distinct GM personas fighting over the same 120 names.

TEAMS 12
ROUNDS 10 · Snake
STARTERS 1 QB · 2 RB · 3 WR · 1 TE · 1 FLEX
How to read this mock. This is a one-quarterback, Half-PPR league — receptions are worth half a point, so target-hog receivers and pass-catching backs climb, while the gap between elite and streamable QBs stays narrow. That math is why most teams here roster a single QB and load the FLEX with another RB or WR; only a couple of personas double up under center. Every selection comes off our 2026 Half-PPR VBD board, so the "Board #" beside each name shows exactly where value was honored — and where a GM reached. Tab through the rounds below to watch the board fall pick by pick, then scroll to the twelve team rooms for full rosters, starting lineups, and a one-line read on each squad. Superflex, full-PPR and Standard versions are coming next.
