Superflex Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Expert Picks from the No. 8 Slot

May 22, 2025

Mike Fanelli's fantasy football mock draft for superflex redraft leagues in 2025. His picks and targets for superflex fantasy football drafts in each round.

The fantasy football world is knee-deep in its dynasty leagues. Whether they are focused on rookie or startup drafts, few fantasy players are thinking about redraft leagues at this point in the offseason.

However, it’s never too early to prepare for your redraft leagues. The best way to prepare for your fantasy leagues is by doing several mock drafts, using different strategies to find the best outcome.

Therefore, let’s dive into this way-too-early superflex redraft league mock draft. The lineup for this mock draft is one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one flex, one superflex, and six bench spots. Let’s see how it turned out picking from the eighth spot in a 10-team league.

Rounds 1-4 - Fantasy Football Mock Draft Analysis

Pick 1.08 – Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons

After a productive rookie season, Robinson took his game to another level in 2024. He finished the year as the RB4, averaging 18.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former Texas star finished third among running backs in rushing yards (1,456) and fifth in touchdowns (14) despite splitting the backfield with Tyler Allgeier.

Furthermore, Robinson was one of the top running backs in the passing game. The superstar ranked third at the position in receptions (61), fourth in targets (72), and fifth in receiving yards (431). More importantly, he averaged 24.7 touches and 24.5 fantasy points per game during the three weeks Michael Penix Jr. started as a rookie.

Pick 2.03 – Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

While Mayfield lacks significant rushing upside, the veteran quarterback had a career season on the ground in 2024. He set career highs in rushing yards (378) and touchdowns (three). Furthermore, it was his second consecutive year averaging at least 3.5 rushing attempts per game. More importantly, Mayfield is coming off his fantasy season.

The former Oklahoma star was the QB4 last year, averaging 21.5 fantasy points per game. By comparison, his previous career high was 17.1 fantasy points per game as a rookie. Mayfield finished second in the NFL with 41 passing touchdowns and third with 4,500 yards. Yet, the Buccaneers improved their supporting cast, using their first-round pick on Emeka Egbuka.

Pick 3.08 – Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants

Nabers was a fantasy superstar as a rookie despite playing with the worst quarterback unit in the NFL and missing two games with a concussion. The former LSU star was the WR7, averaging 14.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than CeeDee Lamb (14.2) and A.J. Brown (14.1).

Despite New York’s awful offense, Nabers had seven receiving touchdowns, accounting for nearly half of the team’s total. Thankfully, the Giants significantly improved their quarterback situation this offseason, adding Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart. Meanwhile, they didn’t add any meaningful target competition for the superstar wide receiver.

Pick 4.03 – Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders

Many fantasy players refused to draft Bowers in their redraft leagues last year. The former Georgia star landed in Las Vegas, where they had used a second-round pick on Michael Mayer the year before, had Davante Adams, and an awful quarterback situation. Yet, the superstar had an outstanding rookie season.

The rookie finished as the TE1, averaging 12.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Bowers was the top-scoring tight end despite having only five receiving touchdowns, ranking ninth among tight ends. He should be even better after the Raiders traded for Geno Smith and hired Chip Kelly as their offensive coordinator.

Pick 5.08 – Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Last year, Lawrence struggled with injuries. He ended the season as the QB27, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the former Clemson star had only 11 passing touchdowns, a career low. Yet, Lawrence is one of my favorite draft targets in 2025.

Jacksonville has done everything possible to help Lawrence succeed this upcoming season. They hired Liam Coen as their new head coach after he transformed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense last year. Furthermore, the Jaguars improved their offensive line in free agency and traded up for Travis Hunter during the NFL Draft.

Pick 6.03 – Kenneth Walker II, RB, Seattle Seahawks

Walker has always been one of my favorite running backs to draft in fantasy. Unfortunately, the star running back missed six games last season, which is a career high. Yet, he had an outstanding year when healthy. Walker averaged a career-high 14.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Furthermore, the former Michigan State star posted a career-high 4.6% rushing touchdown rate, totaling seven scores in 11 contests. More importantly, Walker had 46 receptions on 53 targets despite missing time with injuries, career highs in both categories. He should see even more work in the passing game under Klint Kubiak.

Pick 7.08 – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals

Unfortunately, Harrison didn’t live up to expectations as a rookie. He was drafted as a top-10 wide receiver in redraft leagues last year. However, the former Ohio State star finished the season as the WR29, averaging 9.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, a lower average than Darnell Mooney (10.1).

Yet, Harrison is one of my favorite bounce-back candidates for the 2025 season. Reportedly, the former Ohio State star has bulked up this offseason, suggesting he will run more routes in the middle part of the field. In contrast, the receiver was used more as a vertical threat last year. More importantly, Harrison led the Cardinals with eight receiving touchdowns despite catching only 53.5% of his targets last season.

Pick 8.03 – Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

While he should be healthy and ready to play come Week 1, Rashee Rice is likely facing a suspension for an off-the-field incident from last offseason. Therefore, Worthy should start the year as the Chiefs’ clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver. He ended his rookie season as the WR33, averaging 9.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

More importantly, Worthy ended last year on fire, ranking as the WR10 during the fantasy playoffs, averaging 10.3 targets and 17.5 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the former Texas star was outstanding in the Super Bowl, totaling eight receptions for 157 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 31.7 fantasy points.

Pick 9.08 – Jordan Addison, WR, Minnesota Vikings

Addison is one of the more underrated young wide receivers in the NFL. After a successful rookie year, the former USC star was outstanding last season with Sam Darnold under center. He finished the year as the WR20, averaging 12.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, positing a higher average than Jaxon Smith-Njigba (11.9).

Furthermore, Addison is one of the top touchdown scorers in the league. He had 10 touchdowns on 108 targets in 17 games as a rookie. Last season, the star receiver had nine receiving touchdowns on 99 targets in 15 games. After ranking in the top 10 in receiving touchdowns in back-to-back years, I’m all in on Addison in 2025.

Rounds 10-14 - Fantasy Football Mock Draft Analysis

Pick 10.03 – Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams

Fantasy players always want to leave their superflex drafts with at least three starting quarterbacks. Stafford will be one of my highest-rostered quarterbacks in superflex leagues. The veteran is drastically undervalued as a QB2, especially after the moves the Rams made this offseason.

Los Angeles made a massive move before the start of free agency, signing Davante Adams after his release by the New York Jets. The Rams also kept their offensive line intact while using their top pick in the NFL Draft on Terrance Ferguson. Stafford had two or more passing touchdowns in six of his final 10 games last year.

Pick 11.08 – Jordan Mason, RB, Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings traded for Mason earlier this offseason, swapping Day 3 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft and a sixth-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft for the young running back. Last year, he finished as the RB37, averaging 9.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game as a part-time starter for the San Francisco 49ers.

However, Mason was productive as the starting running back. He averaged 22.8 rushing attempts and 17.9 fantasy points per game over the first four weeks, totaling 16.9 or more in all but one contest. While Aaron Jones re-signed with Minnesota earlier this offseason, Mason will have a role as a co-starter. Furthermore, he has league-winning upside if Jones misses significant time with an injury.

Pick 12.03 – Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seattle Seahawks

Fantasy players have split opinions on handcuffs. Some believe you should handcuff your own star running backs. Meanwhile, others think handcuffing another team’s top running backs is how to win your fantasy league. I am a believer in both, but primarily handcuff my own running backs, especially when they come with injury risk.

Therefore, it’s no surprise I drafted Charbonnet to pair with Walker. Last year, the former UCLA star was a must-start running back when getting the start. Charbonnet averaged a rushing touchdown and 17.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in the six contests without Walker.

Pick 13.08 – Jaydon Blue, RB, Dallas Cowboys

Despite being a fifth-round pick, Blue is one of my favorite targets in dynasty rookie drafts. Furthermore, the former Texas star will be one of my highest-rostered rookie running backs in redraft leagues. He has a pathway to significant snaps as a rookie after getting picked by the Cowboys in the NFL Draft.

Dallas has an up-and-coming offensive line, limited weapons in the passing game, and two ineffective veteran running backs ahead of Blue on the depth chart. Therefore, he could be this year’s Bucky Irving. The former Texas star had nearly 1,100 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns last season, including six receiving scores.

Jaydon Blue was a BEAST through the air in his Junior year, catching 42 passes to go with 6 TDs🔥

Pick 14.03 – Ricky Pearsall, WR, San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers made several moves on offense this offseason, signing George Kittle and Brock Purdy to massive contract extensions. More importantly, they traded away Deebo Samuel Sr. earlier this offseason and reportedly had talks about moving on from Brandon Aiyuk. Meanwhile, Pearsall’s rookie season got off to a rocky start.

Unfortunately, the former first-round NFL Draft pick suffered a gunshot wound right before Week 1. Pearsall missed the first six weeks recovering. Yet, he finished his rookie year on fire. The former Florida receiver looked like a star in the making to end the season, totaling 40.6 half-point PPR fantasy points over his final two contests.
