Monday Mocks: Chiefs and 49ers
Welcome to Monday Mocks, where I’ll bring you…you guessed it, a new mock draft every Monday during the off-season. In my opinion, drafting is the best part of fantasy football, so I do as much of that as I can. This series will be filled with all types of mocks. We’ll draft startups, rookies, devys, and more.
The Big Game is in the books and the Kansas City Chiefs prevailed, winning their second-straight Super Bowl. MVP Patrick Mahomes claims his team is just getting started, as the media compares him to everyone from Tom Brady to Michael Jordan.
In honor of the Super Bowl, along with some of the top players in the league featured on each team, I will be mocking from only the Chiefs and 49ers, from a superflex dynasty perspective.
ROUND ONE:
1.01 Patrick Mahomes, QB KC
Although Mahomes struggled to get in a rhythm for much of the Super Bowl, he finished with an impressive 333 passing yards and two touchdown passes, including the game-winner. From a dynasty perspective, he remains a locked-in top-three overall pick in superflex leagues and is the easy call when considering which player from the game I’d select when starting a new fantasy squad.
1.02 Christian McCaffrey, RB SF
It was perfect symmetry for McCaffrey, who finished the game with 80 rushing yards and 80 receiving yards, leading the 49ers in both categories. While some of the younger players have more dynasty value, McCaffrey is still the best overall back in the league. At 27 years old, he’s an outlier as nearly all other ball carriers his age have begun to lose value. CMC is the only top-five dynasty running back older than 23 years old.
