The fun about starting a Fantasy league is you can experiment with any format you want. You can start multiple quarterbacks, use individual defensive players or increase the scoring for tight ends, among other things. It's OK to let your imagination run wild if you want to be creative.
But sometimes it's OK to be boring. Sometimes going old-school can be fun as well. And that's what we've done here with this 10-team, non-PPR mock draft featuring members of our CBS Sports staff.
While most Fantasy managers prefer some level of rewarding points for receptions with PPR or 0.5-PPR, there are still plenty of managers who like to keep it simple. In most non-PPR leagues, you only get points for yards and touchdowns, which keeps more running backs in play as primary players.
For example, in this mock draft, the first four picks were running backs (Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall, Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor), and Saquon Barkley and Kyren Williams also went in the first round. Jahmyr Gibbs, Derrick Henry, Isiah Pacheco and James Cook were also drafted in the second round.
It's OK to go RB-RB in this format, and two managers started RB-RB-RB with R.J. White (McCaffrey, Cook and Travis Etienne) and Heath Cummings (Taylor, Pacheco and Joe Mixon). We only start two receivers in this league, and R.J. still managed to get Davante Adams (Round 4) and D.J. Moore (Round 6), along with Trey McBride (Round 5). Heath drafted Mark Andrews in Round 4 but also got Mike Evans in Round 5 and Tee Higgins in Round 7 as his starting receivers.
The beauty of 10-team leagues, regardless of the scoring, is everyone should have a stacked roster. I took a Hero-WR approach from the No. 9 spot with Ja'Marr Chase in Round 1 followed by five running backs (Gibbs, Kenneth Walker III, Zamir White, Najee Harris and Tony Pollard), Sam LaPorta and Joe Burrow with my next seven picks.
Then, I loaded up on wide receivers with Chris Godwin (Round 9), Jayden Reed (Round 10), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Round 11) and Keon Coleman (Round 12) with my next four selections, along with Curtis Samuel in Round 14, and hopefully one of these receivers compliments Chase as a starter. Since there's two flex options in this league, I plan to start four running backs in this format.
You would likely avoid leaning heavily on running backs in any PPR leagues. But here, in a non-PPR format, running backs still matter. And that can be fun as well.
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 feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE and 2 FLEX (RB/WR/TE) with six reserves for a 14-round draft.
