Mock Draft: Rotowire's Puig wins Experts Draft League

We crown the champions of our Experts Leagues (assembled for our preseason magazine) after Week 16, just like most fantasy leagues.

Mock Draft: Dodds, Footballguys leading Experts Draft League

The season isn't over, but things are looking good for David Dodds in the Experts Draft League. His Footballguys team selected Christian McCaffrey at No. 2 overall, and that's helped make him No. 1 through 10 weeks of our annual competition.   more »

Mock Draft: Fantasy Sharks' Holm leads Experts League

In a year when many drafted running backs early Fantasy Sharks' Tony Holm zagged where others zigged. He selected Antonio Brown with his top pick, and A.J. Green and Brandin Cooks with two of his next three selections. That trio has helped him secure the first-half lead in our annual Experts Draft League.   more »

In the preseason magazine, the Experts Draft and Auction Leagues are assembled in mid-May. Has to happen that way to meet the publishing deadlines. But these aren't mock drafts and auctions; we play the leagues out over the course of the season in no-transaction, best-ball formats.   more »
