We've saved the best for last. Our Fantasy Football Today crew held a 12-team PPR mock draft prior to Labor Day weekend to help you one last time to prepare for your Draft Day.

We've done several mock drafts during training camp and the preseason of various formats, which you can view in the Draft Prep Index, but this is one of my favorite leagues because of the people involved. We reference this league all the time during our Fantasy Football Today programming on video, podcasts and more.

And in this league are some of the best NFL analysts you will find in Jason La Canfora, Pete Prisco and Will Brinson. They are good Fantasy owners as well, and this is always a challenging league.

There were some interesting things that happened in this mock draft to look at. For starters, Brinson took a different approach at No. 4 overall by drafting Antonio Brown instead of Adrian Peterson after Le'Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles and Eddie Lacy were off the board. I've seen Brown drafted No. 1 overall in some PPR leagues, and while I understand the reason behind it to lock up the No. 1 receiver this year, I find it hard to pass up on a running back like Peterson, Charles, Bell or Lacy.

Brinson was able to secure a strong starting lineup with Ben Roethlisberger, Lamar Miller, Mark Ingram, Brown, Davante Adams, Martellus Bennett and Ryan Mathews as his key guys, so hopefully it works out for him. His alternative could have been Peterson instead of Brown and T.Y. Hilton instead of Miller, and we'll find out if he regrets his decision by the end of the year.

Ryan Bass went a traditional route with his draft with two running backs with his first two picks from No. 5 overall. You don't see this very much anymore, especially in a PPR league, but Bass took Peterson in Round 1 and Justin Forsett in Round 2.

He filled out a nice starting lineup with Aaron Rodgers, Peterson, Forsett, Jarvis Landry, Julian Edelman, Delanie Walker and Keenan Allen. If Landry and Edelman do what they're capable of, which is potentially 100 catches each, then he did well going with Peterson, Forsett and Rodgers with his first three picks.

I also did something unique for my usual draft strategy from No. 10 overall. I planned on drafting two receivers with my first two picks, and I ended up with Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson. But instead of drafting a running back in Round 3, I took the best player available in Jordan Matthews to be my flex.

Running backs, especially in our leagues, were going to be hard to find now, but I like how that position came together on my roster. I got Latavius Murray in Round 4, Jonathan Stewart in Round 5, C.J. Spiller in Round 6, Danny Woodhead in Round 7 and Devonta Freeman in Round 8. I love Spiller, Woodhead and Freeman in PPR leagues, and I have the luxury to wait for Spiller (knee) and Freeman (hamstring) to get healthy since I can start Matthews at flex.

My starting lineup is Matthew Stafford, Murray, Stewart, Bryant, Johnson, Tyler Eifert and Matthews. I expect to be competitive, and hopefully I'll win the title since there's a lot of smack talk on our Fantasy Football Today shows about this league.

In this league, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. We also award one point for every reception. We feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, K, DST and a FLEX (RB/WR/TE). There will also be six reserve spots for a 15-round draft.
