"Likely range" is the middle 80% of 4,000 simulated weeks; "Top 12" is the share of them finishing inside the top 12 at the position. These rankings are generated by Let's Mock Draft's own statistical and market model. They are not analyst rankings and no consensus of outside rankers is involved. Projected points and ranges are simulated outcomes from that model.

Where these come from

These rankings are generated by Let's Mock Draft's own statistical and market model. They are not analyst rankings and no consensus of outside rankers is involved. Projected points and ranges are simulated outcomes from that model.

Every projection is a fantasy-point distribution built from current-season usage for 0% of the board, a preseason draft-position prior for 100%, sportsbook player markets for 3%, then simulated 4,000 times to produce the mean and the likely range on this page. Ranks are ordered by projected points for Full PPR, 1QB. Movement is previous - current; positive means the player moved up the board (a smaller rank number), measured against the board of 2026-08-26.

No analyst rankings are used, bought or scraped, and nothing on this page is edited by hand. Model rankings-v1.2.0, board captured 2026-08-27.
