10-Team PPR Dynasty Football Mock Draft from 1st Position | Building Around Ja'Marr Chase, Jayden Daniels and Bucky Irving

It's time for my fourth fantasy football mock draft of the season. This time, we do a dynasty mock draft on FantasyPros.

This 10-team PPR setup will have the following roster: one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end and one flex, with a seven-man bench.

Round 1 - Ja'Marr Chase

While there's some good options, I think Chase should be the top pick in a dynasty draft going into 2025.

He's 25 years old and coming off a historic season. Chase has several big seasons in him still, and we still maybe haven't seen his peak. He's a player to build a dynasty team around, and that's if your dynasty team is a contender or rebuilder.

Round 2 - Jayden Daniels

I wanted to lock down a quarterback early, and decided to go with Daniels in round 2.

He's just 24 years old and got his NFL career off to a fantastic start. I think Daniels has a lot more to give, and should improve in time, especially as Washington adds more playmakers around him.

By taking Daniels here, I don't have to worry about the quarterback position, and can really be aggressive at RB/WR/TE.

Round 3 - Bucky Irving

I felt a running back was necessary here, and Irving is a favorite of mine, in all formats.

He's just 22 years old, so he's got several big seasons in him before he'll start fading. Irving already delivered in the NFL, which is big in my eyes too.

I really like the Chase, Daniels and Irving core to build around.

Round 4 - Zay Flowers

There were a couple receivers I liked around this pick, but Flowers ended up being my choice. 

He's 24 years old and could eventually turn into a top-end fantasy wideout. I like what he's shown to this point of his NFL career, but believe he's got another level or two he could get to.

Round 5 - TreVeyon Henderson

I decided on Henderson in round 5.

I've done a good job of staying really young with my picks so far, and the 22-year-old Henderson follows suit. He has the chance to become the Patriots' No. 1 back in time.

Some might not like Rhamondre Stevenson being around, but splitting the workload now could actually benefit Henderson in the long run. I'll need another back to help me out immediately, but Henderson is a good and possibly great asset for the long haul.

Round 6 - Tyler Warren

I get my top tight end here with Warren.

The 23-year-old is a popular pick of mine later in redraft leagues, but his real value is in dynasty leagues. In time, I think he could become one of the top fantasy tight ends in the league, and maybe have that happen as early as this season. 

I'll still address the position later, but in the long haul, I really like the core I've built so far.

Round 7 - Jameson Williams

I decided on Williams for my third wide receiver slot.

The 24-year-old is a great secondary option to Amon-Ra St. Brown, but could also be the No. 3 option behind Sam LaPorta if he bounces back. 

Even as a secondary option on an offense, Williams has the chance to put up good numbers. More importantly, he's young and will be around for several more years, and that's more valuable to me, even if my results early on are not super favorable.

Round 8 - Davante Adams

I've been targeting long-term assets all draft, but with Chase to kick things off, I have the chance to compete now, and I add another win-now guy here in Adams.

I think he's got a couple more big seasons in him yet, and he should be a weekly starter for me for at least the next season or two. I think he'll do just fine alongside Puka Nacua, but Adams could become a sell-high candidate if he's performing well this season, as he's on the back nine of his career and the Rams' QB situation could be in flux after this season.

Round 9 - Matthew Golden

I kept adding to my receiver room with Golden here in round 9.

I need a player to replace Adams eventually, and Golden could emerge as a great target immediately, so it's a no-brainer pick in my eyes. Golden's emergence could make Adams a sell-high candidate, and Golden is a nice backup plan in case Flowers or Williams don't pan out the way I'm expecting them to.

Round 10 - Zach Charbonnet

I really needed another running back, so Charbonnet was the pick in round 10.

He's playing a secondary role to Kenneth Walker for now, but the 24-year-old has flashed some big potential and I think he gets a shot as a team's lead back here soon.

Round 11 - Tucker Kraft

I didn't plan on getting another tight end this early, but Kraft gives me some immediate help in case Warren takes some time to get rolling.

Kraft has a chance to shine in a Packers' offense without a top-end receiver yet (although Golden could change that). Kraft seems locked into the tight end role, while the wide receiver room could undergo some changes in the next year or so.

Round 12 - C.J. Stroud

I'm set at QB with Daniels, but I take a swing on a bounceback candidate here in Stroud.

The 23-year-old struggled in his second season, but I'm not ready to give up on him yet. If Stroud can bounce back and emerge as a top-end dynasty QB again, he's got great trade value, and can help me snag another position of need, or give me future picks to work with.

Round 13 - Isaac Guerendo

I keep passing on backs and expecting them to be there at my next pick, only to have several guys go and keep missing out on targets. I'm reaching here with Guerendo, but for good reason.

He's the top backup to the oft-injured Christian McCaffrey and could one day lead the Niners' backfield. Guerendo has the chance to help out a bit this season, and is only 25 years old, so he's got several seasons left in him.

Round 14 - Braelon Allen

I needed more running back depth, so Allen was an easy choice here. Again, I'm probably reaching, but I need bodies in my RB room.

Allen is the top backup for the Jets for now, and could overtake Breece Hall, or replace him after the team moves on. Allen is only 21, so it's a good gamble to take in my eyes.

Round 15 - Kyle Williams

I'm feeling good about things to this point, so I took another swing on a rookie in Williams with my final pick.

He's a good secondary receiver to stash, and could work into a big role in the years to come. I think the Pats' offense is on the rise, and I could have the two biggest skill players in Williams and Henderson.

Final Thoughts

I got a B grade for this mock, but I have the fourth-highest score after the draft.

The simulator suggested I should have taken Ladd McConkey with my second pick, then grab a quarterback later, but I feel confident at both those positions, so I like the route I took.

I ended up with dynasty draft steals with Kraft and Stroud, but reached on Charbonnet and Guerendo. 

I think I have the chance to compete for a title immediately, but also know I need a few players to excel to get there. I'm set up for the long haul though, and really Adams is my only veteran that I know I'll need to replace in time. 

I feel like I'm lacking most at running back, but if Irving becomes the player I expect him to be, it wouldn't be difficult to find a secondary option to him. I'd honestly look to flip Stroud or Kraft before the season to try and land a veteran running back to help me out more this season.

Overall, I'm pleased with this mock draft, but also think I could have done better. Keep checking back, as I plan to continue doing more dynasty mock drafts in the days and weeks to come!
