Drafting from the 1.01 in a 12‑team Half‑PPR? In today’s mock, Veteran Fantasy Football radio host Peter Klein takes Jamar Chase first overall, double-dip at RB (Kyren Williams, Chase Brown), and stack Patrick Mahomes with Rashee Rice to see how the board breaks—and what he'd do differently next time.
Draft settings: 12‑team, Half‑PPR, snake
Key picks: Jamar Chase (1.01), Kyren Williams, Chase Brown, Rashee Rice, Patrick Mahomes, T.J. Hockenson, Rome Odunze, Keon Coleman, Tank Bigsby, Trey Benson, Jerome Ford, Jalen Wright, Broncos D/ST, Will Lutz.
Takeaways:
Anchor WR → RB dries up fast; late RBs are more appealing than late WRs this year
Stacking (Mahomes/Rice) still valuable even with Rice missing time early
Avoid chasing rookie TE breakouts; lock a reliable option (Hockenson)

00:00all right welcome everyone doing another season of mock drafts here on couch potato diary so
00:23what we do with these is i uh run through the draft position of um basically every spot in a 12 team
00:31i'm sorry 12 team half point ppr uh just to see what we can kind of expect for the draft process
00:37for the upcoming season uh so gonna do a bunch of these uh one day for this week uh and uh yeah
00:43hopefully you guys enjoy it so let's have at it uh again this is half point ppr we are going to be
00:49uh team one we have claimed that the rest are going to be computer uh there you can see there
00:55so oh lost it there we go got it back and let's begin
01:04yes i am sure oh and look at that we're number one so i have said before um and for people listening
01:12in the podcast you will hear uh that i am not necessarily all in on jamar chase as the number
01:17one pick in the drafts but he's the number one rated player this is all about figuring out where
01:25like what strategies work for us which ones don't so let's see what happens when we take
01:29jamar chase with our first pick uh so we go chase after that we get a run on running backs uh it is
01:36barkley bijon derrick henry jameer gibbs then we get a run on receivers uh with jefferson lamb
01:43alman ross st brown and puka nakua the first round ends with christian mccaffrey josh jacobs
01:48devon hn uh then it is neighbors ashton genti going in the second round uh nico collins brian thomas jr
01:55aj brown um lamar jackson then brock bowers so our first tight end comes off of the board drake london
02:02jonathan taylor bucky irving and we're back to trey mcbride um so now it is us a couple available
02:12options here um i guess you guys can't really see them all that well in the video i'll try to
02:17change that for next time but um we get josh allen is available lad mcconkey kyron williams chase brown
02:26tyreek hill jackson smith and jigba and t higgins we're taking a couple of players here um i've said
02:32before that i think lad mcconkey is going to be a part of a chargers offense that kind of puts it
02:36together i'm really worried about not having running backs here um looking on down the line
02:43there's a couple other running backs that i don't like hate um but those ones are probably going to be
02:48gone by the time we get there it's still boy it is um you dry up quick when you have that this first
02:55selection so let's let's double up on the running backs and see how it goes well okay we have a
03:02minute here um by the time it's projected our next pick is going to be gone rushy rice could be off the
03:08board um that's one that we want but like travion henderson is going to be there rj harvey is going
03:14to be there so a lot of wide or a couple running backs that we don't mind but there's a couple wide
03:18receivers that we really do like so i think we are going to go double running back here so we're
03:21going to go kyron williams and then we'll go chase brown so coming out of this with jamar chase um
03:28and then you get kyron williams and chase brown that's a pretty good like i don't know if either
03:32guy is going to be a number one or number two or sorry if either guy is going to be number one but
03:36they're both going to be very solid number twos so i i don't mind how this is kind of shook out i was
03:42really hoping burrow was going to come around to me he has not so just to let you know for those who are
03:48uh listening it after oh geez um okay after us it was josh allen then mcconkey and uh garrett wilson
03:57breece hall the running back going to team five tyreek hill goes off the board then james cook t
04:02higgins uh omerian hampton someone who kind of wanted um he was gone picked by team nine jackson
04:08smith and jig but george kill and then marvin harrison jr rounds out round three uh at the turn it's alvin
04:14camara then we get our run on quarterbacks hurts daniels and burrow with uh mike evans kind of in
04:19between there you have terry mclaurin chuba hubbard uh davante adams gosh i wish i would quit doing that
04:24for those who are watching sorry um then you get dj moore kenneth walker and james connor so we are back
04:31to um the the turn here for us now i am very aware that rishi rice is gonna take some time off for
04:41football in the next little bit so i'm a little concerned about that but i think when he is healthy
04:48and when he is playing that this guy can be a genuine legitimate number one receiver so i'm gonna
04:55go with rishi rice here in the fourth and then at the turn we're gonna double up and we're gonna um
05:02we're gonna stack it with a patrick mahomes pick in the fifth round so we didn't get the chase burrow
05:08stack that we wanted um but i like how this team is setting up you're gonna probably have to go
05:12wide receiver again here just to make sure that we are um kind of insulated with uh rishi rice going
05:22to be missing some time but i i'm feeling good about where we're at now of course as i say that
05:27we have another run on wide receiver so after our pick it was metcalf sutton montgomery another tight end
05:33in laporta uh then devonta smith zay flowers uh travion henderson and rj harvey who we talked about
05:39before jameson williams is off the board then joe mixon xavier worthy uh then in this round the
05:44sixth uh tony pollard goes first followed by tet mcmillan isaiah pacheco uh deandre swift pickens
05:50kelsey aaron jones goes to team number six calvin ridley chris olave one of these times i'm not going to do that i promise
05:57uh chris olave and then you get johnson the rookie with pittsburgh and uh travis hunter goes to
06:04jacksonville so we're back on the clock here in the sixth round tj hawkinson is available for the tight
06:10ends we don't have one of those yet um hawkinson andrews ingram and joku there's still still some
06:16time at tight ends i don't feel a rush to do that um jalen waddle might be interesting kind of insulation
06:22with tyree kill having a bit of up and down quinshawn jenkins uh judkins not overly convinced
06:27he's gonna be playing football a whole lot this year mark andrews is there roma dunze is really
06:32interesting i think that's gonna be a much improved um offense this year given some upgrades they made
06:38at wide receiver um i am admittedly nervous about some of the tight ends that are projected to come
06:44off the board in this time so maybe i will go tight end here with our one pick let's just lock that in
06:49right now so we have tight end to kind of round out our starting roster and then after that jalen
06:55waddle i think is the one who is intriguing me the most roma dunze maybe a bit more of an upside play
07:00um actually now the more i think about it i kind of like the offense there a little bit better
07:04um and i i loved his talent coming out of college so you know what roma dunze welcome to the squad uh
07:12locking him in as our wide receiver number three so on good weeks he's gonna be our flex and in not so
07:19good weeks um he's gonna be our wide receiver number two do not hate that as an option um all
07:26right after us waddle went immediately junkins went as well another quarterback in baker mayfield
07:31a couple more quarterbacks uh coming off the board here um then it was judy brian robinson tracy with
07:38the giants who i think could be interesting this year jalen warren with pittsburgh another intriguing
07:42player stefan diggs um addison who's gonna miss some time travis etn then jacoby myers another tight end
07:48in round number eight mark andrew so i feel pretty good about our tight end call uh because
07:53the the guys who we were like okay they're they're gonna be at us it's gonna be fine um they all come
07:57off with andrews ingram and njoku matt golden with the green bay packers is off bo nixon kyler murray
08:03back to back holy smokes i keep um going backwards on this um as i am the worst with the trackpad so
08:09apologies for that uh ricky pearsall oh that one that one stings a little bit pearsall coming off the
08:14board um that that would have been a pretty solid pick so uh we're back to us now you have a minute
08:19left before we make the turn uh khalil shakir is available tyler warren young tight end with uh
08:25indianapolis i'm not gonna bet on another rookie tight end having a good year javante williams
08:31i think is interesting i think a lot of people are kind of writing them off um buka is someone who i like
08:37a lot man the running back options are just not here at this point so i think we're learning
08:43maybe lean running back a little bit earlier than we did uh because it is um not stellar
08:50shall we say here with 45 seconds to go you know what i actually like when we talked about him as
08:54a breakout candidate getting him here in the eighth round um a flex option if we need uh otherwise just
09:01a guy um i'm gonna go key on coleman in this spot so again flex option for us or a uh potential depth
09:08piece god i really don't like where we're at at running back right now here we only have karen
09:13williams and chase brown so far we're in the ninth round uh we do i am gonna force um us to take a
09:20kicker in a defense so we are running a little bit out of time but there's just not a whole lot there
09:24running back wise that you feel great about javante williams jordan mattis or sorry jordan mason
09:28zach charbonnet so we're getting into kind of the backups here you know what we might do just looking at
09:33what's available there's a couple of guys who are part of time shares that i think are going to get
09:37a little bit of burn here and that's with tank bigsby and with trey benson i think the the more
09:43obvious spot for volume here is tank bigsby i think there's a chance like he outperformed etn
09:49last year when you just watched the games and i think he has a chance to do that again this year
09:52so let's go tank bigsby uh with our selection in the ninth round giving us a little bit more
09:59running back depth after that it's jaden reed jared goff khalil shakir um tyler warren zach
10:05charbonnet uh a buka who again i like that a lot as an intriguing option with with tampa bay
10:11um he goes off the board of team seven uh you got downs another really good pick there actually at eight
10:17um herbert off the board back-to-back chargers actually with herbert and then naji harris um back
10:22to back 49ers then with iuk and purdy javante williams goes at the start of the 10th followed by jordan
10:27mason juwan jennings who could be interesting um he goes in the 10th three tight ends with craft
10:33johnny smith and uh loveland you get stevenson jk dobbins not gonna do it this time uh michael
10:40pitman dalton kincaid and higgins uh they're in the 10th so we are now back at the back end of the
10:4610th round um we have our three running backs we have multiple wide receivers and tight ends so we are
10:53now uh looking to build the depth up here honestly it might not be a bad like darnell mooney missing
10:59some time with that shoulder injury i think he's going to be a good part of this offense down the
11:03road and honestly if we could time up mooney coming in for rice that doesn't hurt i i don't love going
11:08back to bat or uh going with two tight ends but kyle pitts at this point almost feels too good to pass up
11:15but looking at the running backs that are available i'm not doing a good job of showing you guys here it's
11:19not i need to try to set this up a little bit better but um trey benson is here still and i think
11:26he's going to get actually a pretty good look in that backfield with um with arizona so let's go
11:35where are we at right now he's going 150 um
11:41all right we got 35 seconds to make a call here boy a lot of quarterbacks still available
11:46um at this particular time we're getting into the kickers now as well um i'm let's go yeah let's
11:54go benson whoops wrong button wrong button wrong button so anyway that's what benson looks like uh
12:01for those watching sorry uh there we go benson he is our guy locked in and now i will go with darnell
12:07mooney um another pass catching option for an offense that could be better this year with atlanta
12:12uh so he gets locked in as our uh next wide receiver um helping us kind of build out some
12:18depth so pits goes right out or a couple picks after you get the run on qbs with prescott fields
12:23and may so just looking down here now we have four picks remaining uh so we're going to have kind of
12:28two turns left and the run on kickers has begun man love at that point that's a really really good
12:35pick maybe i should have should have gone with that because i said before i think that team is going to
12:39really step up this year so uh it has come back around to us 12th round uh we were hoping
12:49and still there are a couple of options here so again guys were at the back part of a risk or a
12:56running back kind of duo that i think could be interesting uh ray davis with buffalo if anything
13:01happens to cook um ray davis could be a very interesting piece also there is jerome ford who's
13:07just kind of the running back one in cleveland and no one's taking him and raylon allen uh the
13:11running back there for the jets now we were on the back part of the kicker and defense run so kickers
13:18available right now there isn't anyone that's like oh my gosh we have to have him to kind of like reach
13:23ahead for it and on the defensive side there's a couple of defenses that are actually pretty good here
13:27um so i think we'll go broncos because uh we have some flexibility with a couple of players that we are
13:33still interested in um and then let's see guys who could be gone i like i'm getting a guy who's a
13:42number one running back on his team here in the 13th round i just kind of have to with jerome ford
13:49so we're gonna go jerome ford uh right there get that nick chubb comes off the board immediately after that
13:55uh and then another run on running back so ray davis is gone so uh maybe we could have had the
14:03the second one kind of go there as uh we get laggy now all of a sudden at the end here of this draft so
14:10hopefully uh everything kind of syncs up and we'll be able to to make this work uh but we swing back
14:16around now to us we have a couple of picks remaining um we have to go with the defense
14:25it looks like we missed out on the other one that we wanted yeah braylon allen was the other one
14:31that i was looking for goes to the back part or sorry the first part i guess of the 14th round
14:35so that's a little unfortunate that we kind of took a gamble there and only got one of the four that we
14:40were looking at so kind of a good reminder to not mess around with that when there are still some
14:46pieces on the board just make sure you get those guys and um and and move from there let's get away
14:53from some of the kicker things that have popped up keenan allen adam feeling some players available
14:57as is hunter henry um dylan sampson jalen wright that might not be a bad one that can still be a
15:03pretty good offense out there so let's go jalen wright with our pick there and then uh the random
15:11kicker uh whoever is at the top uh let's go will lutz uh he'll be kicking in thin air out in denver so um
15:21the final picks are going to swing around and we will figure out what we have with this particular
15:30team so um our starting lineup as this comes to a close uh we will have patrick mahomes as our starting
15:39quarterback our starting running backs are going to be kyron williams and chase brown our wide
15:43receiver starters are going to be um chase that's right and rashie rice uh roma dunze will be in our
15:52flex spot with tj hawkinson as our tight end and then our depth at wide receiver is coleman and mooney
15:59at running back we have bigsby benson ford and wright our defense is the broncos and we also have their
16:05kicker in will lutz so that is uh what it looks like for mock draft number one honestly don't hate
16:11it uh was a little worried there about our running backs uh but there are some very very i'm much more
16:16interested in the running backs late this year than i am the wide receivers late so we've uh we've at
16:21least learned that so uh thank you guys for uh watching this mock draft we'll have a lot more
16:26mock drafts still to come um throughout the campaign
