Fantasy Football mock draft: 15 rounds for 10-team PPR league
By Jon Dove
Team 1: Corey Clement, RB, Eagles
Clement showed his versatility in last year’s Super Bowl and figures to maintain a role in the Eagles offense. However, Jay Ajayi appears to be the lead back and Darren Sproles is back from injury.
It may take an injury to Ajayi for Clement to become a real fantasy option.
Team 2: LeGarrette Blount, RB, Lions
Blount’s role with the Lions will be as a goal-line and short-yardage specialist. Detroit wants Kerryon Johnson to grab the starting job with Theo Riddick handling the passing downs. This leaves a small but potentially fantasy relevant role.
Team 3: Denver Broncos
Denver’s fantasy production relies heavily on Von Miller and Bradley Chubb collecting a lot of sacks. However, Bradley Rody’s ability to handle a starting job will be key.
Team 4: Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots
There’s not much to say about the kicker market, but Gostkowski should get plenty of opportunities on a high-powered offense.
Team 5: Jack Doyle, TE, Colts
With Andrew Luck back in the saddle, all of the Colts pass catchers see a bump in value. Doyle was sort of Luck-proof last year has he put up strong numbers with Jacoby Brissett.
Team 6: Mohamed Sanu, WR, Falcons
Sanu is a savvy veteran who has good chemistry with Matt Ryan. However, rookie Calvin Ridley is in town and threatening to take away targets. It may be hard to roster Sanu as the season progresses.
Team 7: D.J. Moore, WR, Panthers
Moore is a versatile weapon who can streak down the field and work the underneath routes. He has been really involved during the preseason and looks to have a role already carved out with the Panthers.
My Team: Peyton Barber, RB, Buccaneers
Peyton Barber has really outplayed rookie Ronald Jones. This has put him inline to open the season as the Buccaneers starter. Barber is a hard worker who won’t surrender his job
Team 9: David Njoku, TE, Browns
Based on raw talent Njoku sits near the top of the tight end class. However, he’s is a bit raw and needs to find more consistency. This is a great upside pick as Njoku is bound to show improvements from his rookie year.
Team 10: Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia’s defensive line is two deep and loaded with high-end pass rushers.
