Training camps have begun around the NFL, which is a signal that fantasy draft season is upon us. Over the next few weeks, fantasy enthusiasts in season-long leagues will select players for their virtual teams for the 2020 season.
The draft process will be a little trickier this year, as there will be no preseason with which to evaluate players and prospective roles. Therefore, it will be as important as ever to gauge values from training-camp detective work and mock draft analysis.
While fantasy mock drafts can feel a bit silly at times—since, you know, the entire fantasy season is a bit of a mock concept—they can be a valuable tool to help managers decipher where players are being valued.
