Perhaps the most important element of any dynasty league is the annual rookie draft. Unless you're a very aggressive trader, your roster isn't going to change a ton from year to year, with the largest impact coming via the rookie draft. These drafts might seem fairly straightforward, but I see people make avoidable mistakes quite often.

In this mock draft review of our latest half-PPR league, I want to focus on building depth vs. potentially sacrificing a certain position. We've all been in this situation, and it happened to me with this roster from No.

This is a 12-team PPR mock draft featuring analysts from NBC Sports/Rotoworld and FantasyLife, plus one savvy friend-of-show amateur. The draft was held on Monday, August 11th, with preseason Week 1 penned in the record books. The positions are as follows: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, FLEX and five bench spots.

Peak draft season is almost here. Our crew provides a good practice run through a 12-teamer to help you prepare for the real thing.
