Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 10-team Superflex (3 WRs) — here are the results
If you want to get better at something, it's all about putting in the reps. Phil Dunphy recognized this years ago. Dance until your feet hurt; sing until your lungs hurt; act until you're William Hurt. The fantasy football version of this — keep drafting, keep drafting, keep drafting. And know there's always a mock draft available, whenever you want it. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] I have some Superflex leagues coming later this month, and with an eye towards that, I dialed up a 10-team Superflex mock on the weekend. It's a half-point PPR format that requires 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, PK, 1 PK, 1 DEF and the glorious 1 Superflex, a player who can be a quarterback, running back, receiver or tight end. Basically, these wind up being two-quarterback leagues (since QBs score the most points), but you're allowed to pivot off a QB in that slot if injuries or bye weeks force you to. It's my favorite format, nothing's even close. I landed the No. 1 pick for this 10-team mock, done using the Yahoo Fantasy Plus Instant Mock Draft tool — let's see how it all went down. Round 1: WR Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals This would be a snap-call in a standard league, but there's some thought required given that we're doing Superflex today. There's a strong case for Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen in this spot. I decided, with the league being 10 managers, I could eschew QB for a bit and still feel strong in that area. Chase dominates at WR and we require three wideouts in this format, so that's how I break the tie. To no great surprise, the Big 4 quarterbacks were all gone by the time the draft returned to me. That's standard. In some Superflex leagues, the QB push might be even stronger. Round 2: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions Round 3: RB Ashton Jeanty, Raiders Because the league didn't steer completely into QBs, I'm going to play a little chicken and trust I can still be strong at that spot without tapping it here. It's a luxury to roster the Sun God as my WR2 — one of the most consistent scorers in fantasy, the perfect drumbeat — and it was fun to add a Jeanty share, something I haven't been able to do much this summer. The Raiders should have a concentrated usage tree, and although Chip Kelly had a checkered earlier run as an NFL head coach, I still trust him as an offensive play designer. If I had tapped into the quarterback market, Joe Burrow obviously would have been my choice. I also briefly considered tapping George Kittle as a vanity tight end. Round 4: RB Chase Brown, Bengals Round 5: QB Bo Nix, Broncos I originally thought I would double-tap the quarterback position here, but when Brown slipped, I felt obligated to take advantage. This is a reminder that every draft plan should be in pencil — so you can adapt to the flow of the draft and take advantage of opportunities that arise. The Bengals once again look like fantasy football's perfect Carnival team, an offense that will move the ball, and tied to a defense that won't stop many opponents. The Bengals also have a very tight concentration for their touch distribution. Nix and Baker Mayfield were the QBs I considered, with Nix getting the nod because he's younger and a better runner — that likely means a better floor. Round 6: WR Jaylen Waddle, Dolphins Round 7: QB Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers One of my fantasy concepts says that when you consider a player in one slot and then the room gives you that same option a round or two later, it's often the right pick. So although I have not been drafting Mayfield proactively this year, the value is too good to pass up. Miami's offense concerns me somewhat but Waddle looks like a safe play, five years younger than Tyreek Hill and still capable of a top 10 receiver season. Consider that Waddle was the WR7 just three years ago, and he's merely entering his age-27 season. Round 8: TE Tucker Kraft, Packers Round 9: RB David Montgomery, Lions I like the way these two picks mix together — Kraft is the upside grab, coming off a 14.1 YPC season and seven juicy touchdowns — while Montgomery is more of a boring veteran floor play, the No. 2 back in Detroit but still carrying a solid touch and touchdown floor. Round 10: WR Jauan Jennings, 49ers Round 11: QB Michael Penix Jr., Falcons At this point the focus is trying to find picks that excite you, locating players who have the ability to smash their ADP if things fall right. Jennings was dynamic when pushed into the starting lineup last year, and now he's tied to an offense that lost Deebo Samuel Sr. and isn't sure when Brandon Aiyuk is coming back. Penix and the Falcons could be another Carnival offense, tied to a mostly-indoor schedule and perhaps pushed by a shaky defense. I didn't get Drake London in this draft, but he's also been a common target of mine. Round 12: RB Jaylen Warren, Steelers Round 13: WR Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers Warren is the more versatile back in Pittsburgh, and we know OC Arthur Smith never met a running play he didn't like. Egbuka's plausible upside case gets stronger when you consider that Chris Godwin might miss several games to open the season. Round 14: PK Brandon Aubrey, Cowboys Round 15: D/ST Denver Broncos This is where it's fun to pick in tandem — if you have to fill at kicker and defense, why not get the presumed best at the position? Aubrey's range is the parking lot and he has a climate-controlled schedule. I would probably stream at the D/ST spot, but Denver has what I always want from my drafted defense, favorable matchups to start. The Broncos host rookie QB Cam Ward in Week 1, then travel to Indianapolis and attack either Anthony Richardson Sr. or Daniel Jones. Sounds good to me. Round 16: RB Braelon Allen, Jets Allen obviously has a fun upside if anything happens to Breece Hall (don't overlook the possibility of a trade), and even if the Jets keep all their backs, Allen has the potential to become the team's designated scorer at the goal line, their version of David Montgomery. Final Roster: QB: Nix, Mayfield, Penix RB: Jeanty, Brown, Montgomery, Warren, Allen WR: Chase, St. Brown, Waddle, Jennings, Egbuka TE: Kraft PK: Aubrey DST: Broncos Okay, I love this roster, but in a 10-teamer, you're supposed to. I eschewed a second tight end, feeling it was more important to get another bite at the RB apple, but in a league of this size, I could probably find a useful TE2 on the wire (19 were selected in all). I didn't go after QB super early, but still landed two candidates likely to finish in the top 10, along with the upside play of Penix. My starters at RB and WR look very strong, and that often correlates to fantasy success. I think even Phil Dunphy would sign off on this team.

Xavien Howard's agent says 4-time Pro Bowler signing with the Colts
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard is signing with the Indianapolis Colts, his agent David Canter announced Monday in a social media post. Colts officials have not yet made an announcement. The 32-year-old Howard was cut by the Miami Dolphins in February 2024 and did not play last year after suffering multiple injuries leading up to his release. Indy believes Howard can make an impact, though, because of his previous history with Lou Anarumo, the Colts new defensive coordinator. Anarumo coached Miami's defensive backs in 2016 and 2017 — Howard's first two seasons in the league. Indy was seeking help in the secondary because of injuries. Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II has missed time with an injured knee and another starter, Jaylon Jones, was taken off the practice field after hurting his hamstring. Rooke cornerback Justin Walley, a third-round draft pick, also was competing for a starting job until suffering a season-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament before the preseason opener. And cornerback JuJu Brents is out with a hamstring injury. Howard led the NFL interceptions twice during his career — picking off seven passes in 2018 and adding 10 more in 2020. He has 29 interceptions, including two he returned for scores, and 331 tackles in 100 games over eight NFL seasons. ___ AP NFL: Michael Marot, The Associated Press
