Fantasy football mock drafts are the perfect time to figure out if your draft strategy works. You might enter a draft hoping that one thing will happen, only to see the players you want picked directly ahead of you time and time again.Whatever the reason, you don't want to freeze in your real draft. Mock drafts give you an opportunity to adjust your rankings and cheat sheets on the fly before anything actually matters, and if you're playing in a different format than usual -- as we are in this PPR superflex mock -- you'll definitely want to give things a test run.

As we always point out, if your time is limited, you can accelerate your mock draft experience by using the . There, youll be able to complete a full mock draft customized to your leagues rules in just minutes.

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT:

Recently, I took part in a 12-team mock draft as part of Howard Bender's Mock Draft Army for . I was given the Jonathan Hernandez Jersey No. 3 pick in a league that incorporated both PPR scoring and a superflex position (QB/RB/WR/TE). It also didn't include defenses or kickers, meaning all 16 rounds would be spent taking offensive players.

I knew the third pick would allow me to take one of the top three non-holdout running backs, which is never a bad way to start a draft. Initially, I hoped I'd be able to snag one or even two QBs to put in my starting lineup at the first turn back my way, but that changed quickly. Instead, I ended up drafting fantasy's top TE. It meant I waited a while on quarterback, just as I've done in my two previous mocks.

Lets see how my mock draft turned out.

2019 STANDARD RANKINGS:||||||

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team PPR, Superflex league* This draft was for a PPR league that starts 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 Superflex and has 7 bench spots

Alvin Kamara (Round 1, Pick 3).With Ezekiel Elliott's holdout carrying on with no end in sight, the running back position feels like it has three players above the rest: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey and Kamara. All three catch plenty of pa ses, too, making them just as great PPR options. Because you can never go wrong getting a good RB early, I resolved to pick one of these three. Kamara is the one who fell to me. His role may not change much with Latavius Murray e sentially replacing Alex Claudio Jersey Mark Ingram, but Kamara should have no trouble repeating his top-fiveRB season from 2018.

Travis Kelce (Round 2, Pick 22).This is where my initial strategy went off the rails. Five QBs had already been taken by the time it got back to my second pick. Instead of forcing it, I decided to try something I hadn't in my first two mock drafts. In both of those, I waited a long time at TE and ended up with Delanie Walker and Trey Burton, respectively. Here, right about at the spot where Kelce should be selected, I took fantasy's top tight end. I figured this would prevent me from having to worry about the position for basically the entirety of the draft. This pick also set me up to wait on QB, as the best options would all be picked over by my fourth-round pick.

Joe Mixon (Round 3, Pick 27).Mixon gets a bad rap in PPR leagues. Really, he's as you might think. He caught 43 pa ses a year ago and finished as the 10th-best PPR running back. That seems repeatable in 2019. Picking Mixon here was tough because of this league's three starting WR spots that I've currently filled none of through three rounds. The only one of our top-eight WRs remaining at this selection was Antonio Brown, whose Week 1 status is totally up in the air. Mike Evans had just gone off the board, so it was Mixon or Adam Thielen. I felt good enough about the depth at receiver to go with Mixon.

2019 PPR RANKINGS:|||

Kenny Golladay (Round 4, Pick 46).I didn't feel good enough about Ru sell Joe Palumbo Jersey Wilson at this point to go QB, so this was the time I'd get my first two receivers. Both Golladay and Calvin Ridley were available (Stefon Diggs had just gotten taken), and I had to make a tough call here. We rank Ridley higher than basically everyone else, so it felt like he'd have a better shot of falling to me five picks later. Ideally, I'd end up with both of them. Golladay might have the most potential of any non-top-10 WR to finish the year there. He's exactly the type of big-bodied athlete Matthew Stafford thrives with. I didn't want to mi s out, so I snagged Golladay here and cro sed my fingers.

Calvin Ridley (Round 5, Pick 51).Phew. This might be the biggest benefit to finding occasional players who you're much higher on than others. Ridley saves my WR corps after I went with Kelce in the second round. Obviously, we'll have to be right on Ridley (or at least close), but to get a borderline WR1-caliber player in the fifth round makes me feel much better about waiting on receiver until Golladay. To end up with the top TE, two top-12 RBs and two top-20 WRs at the end of five rounds feels like a win.

Jarvis Yohander Mendez Jersey Landry (Round 6, Pick 70).This was my second PPR mock draft and my second time getting Landry at a value of nearly 30 picks below where we rank him. He's a cla sic PPR weapon who makes up for a lack of huge plays with a high volume of catches. Some might have concern that Odell Beckham's arrival spells the end of those big-catch days for Landry, but there should be plenty of throws to go around with Freddie Kitchens and Todd Monken running a pa s-happy attack in Cleveland. Landry feels like the perfect high-floor player to complement the higher-risk, higher-reward pick of Ridley.

DRAFT STRATEGY AND RANKINGS TIERS:||||

A.J. Green (Round 7, Pick 75).If I had chosen to end my wait on QBs here, it would've been for Jared Goff. I expected a few options who aren't that much different from Goff to be available rounds later, though, so I used this pick to take a shot with Green. I get him as my fourth wideout, sliding into my FLEX spot as soon as he's healthy (which we know he won't be in Week 1). Green doesn't need to play 16 games to return value at his ability at this selection, though. Between 10 and 12 solid Green games makes my team that much better in those weeks, and my team won't be crushed if he gets hurt againbecause I didn't invest too highly in him.

Nyheim Hines (Round 8, Pick 94).As I discovered in my , pa s-catching running backs seem to be the most undervalued a set Robinson Chirinos Jersey in these formats. There's a reason we rank Hines about 30 slots higher than this draft selection. His 63 catches in 2018 provide him a good floor, and he might be due to improveafter a total of four TDs last season. He'll provide me
