Fantasy football St. Jude PPR mock draft 3.0 recap: Managers load up early on elite RBs like Bijan Robinson

As I sat down to write the recap to our latest 12-team, PPR mock draft, I got a text from a friend just starting his Fantasy Football prep. He said, “It’s got to be a running back year.” If that’s how you feel, then this mock draft was for you.

This is our third mock draft to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as part of our 2025 Fantasy Football Today Draft-A-Thon. We have already exceeded our goal to raise more than $100,000 for St. Jude, which is awesome, but we’re not done. We appreciate all of your donations in helping us make that happen, and you can continue to donate by going here.

One way you can contribute to our Draft-A-Thon while also helping your Fantasy Football prep for this season is to take part in one of our mock drafts. And this one from Tuesday night was fun, especially in Round 1 with all of the running backs.

Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, De’Von Achane, Ashton Jeanty, and Derrick Henry all went in the first round. The FantasyPros Average Draft Position data has six running backs in Round 1 — Achane is at No. 13 overall — so this could be the norm.

In this draft, receivers like Nico Collins, Brian Thomas Jr, and Amon-Ra St. Brown fell to Round 2, and you can make a case for all of them to go in Round 1 in this format. But the managers in this draft preferred the running backs early.

It was a surprise that no one went RB-RB to start their team, and we only had Josh Jacobs and Chase Brown get selected in Round 2. It was also a surprise to see Jonathan Taylor, Kyren Williams, and Bucky Irving fall to Round 3 since typically those running backs are selected in the second round.

Kenneth Walker III, Breece Hall, Omarion Hampton, and James Cook also went in the third round, which meant we had 16 running backs drafted in the first 36 overall selections. And there were six managers who had two running backs through Round 3 (Adam Hawn, Larry Graham, Logan Kelley, Adam Aizer, Dan Gray, and Tony Bisciotti).
