2026 Fantasy Football: Perfect draft strategy, round by round for 12-team leagues, Pick No. 3

• Puka Nacua leads all wide receivers: Nacua is a great early-round pick as the top-ranked fantasy wide receiver this season.

• Draft three running backs in a row early: This team is not well-suited to pick up top-10 running backs, so it makes sense to try adding three top-25 running backs instead.

• Get more from PFF+ for less: PFF+ is now $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, with access to PFF+ content and tools, fantasy and betting resources, the Mock Draft Simulator and more — all at a new lower price.

This perfect draft strategy for 12-team, single-quarterback, redraft PPR fantasy football leagues is built on a consensus of current average draft positions (ADPs) from ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo. It's your round-by-round guide to building a winning roster.
