Aug 10, 2018, 09:03 AM ET Thursday evening offered us the first slate of NFL preseason action, so you know your fantasy football drafts are right around the corner.
We gathered our experts earlier in the day for a mock draft, something you should try too, so you can work out the kinks and get an edge on your opponents. Head to the ESPN mock draft lobby and give it a shot.
This is a PPR (point per reception) draft, which means a bonus point is awarded for each catch made by running backs, receivers and tight ends. You can check out our expert PPR rankings here .
