The Mock Draft project: 2025's most wanted fantasy football picks
Briefly

Fantasy football drafting requires more than simply following player rankings; it combines strategy, science, artistry, and luck. Analysts conducted 34 mock drafts in a 10-team league to refine rankings and gather data. Each analyst drafted from various positions, compiling nearly 200 players' statistics, including their average draft positions and selection trends. These insights inform ESPN’s fantasy football draft platform, helping players adapt their drafting strategies. The process emphasizes the unpredictable nature of drafts, where choices can significantly impact outcomes.
