Fantasy Football Mock Draft Around Puka Nacua & Omarion Hampton

However, I’m not concerned with this. All this tells me is that Hampton will have to prove that he’s significantly better than the other running backs on the team in Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal. That’s something he should easily be able to do.

Key Takeaways & Strategy

My initial thoughts after running the mock draft were that this went a little differently than expected. I’m not a huge fan of having to take D’Andre Swift as my RB2, but it made sense to wait for him in round five rather than reach on a running back in round four.

Overall, I’m not sold on Bhayshul Tuten and Jonathon Brooks as much as others, but they fell into my lap during this mock draft. With a bit more hype leading up to Week 1, my plan would be to package those players for an upgrade at tight end or another bench wide receiver.

This fantasy football mock draft didn’t end up as my favorite, but starting with Puka Nacua and Omarion Hampton allowed me to stay flexible throughout the entire draft.
