Fantasy Football mock draft: 15 rounds for 10-team PPR league
By Jon Dove
Team 10: Justin Tucker, K, Ravens
Tucker is one of the more accurate kickers in the league and will attempt some longer field goals.
Team 9: Los Angeles Chargers
Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram are the two Team 9 is counting on to carry the Chargers defense.
My Team: Houston Texans
It appears that J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus will be ready to go for the regular season. These three have the potential to be a dominant force.
Team 7: Jesse James, TE, Steelers
James is the one reliable tight end on the Steelers roster. Vance McDonald has yet to make an impact due to a string of injuries. The problem is that James hasn’t provide a ton of fantasy value finishing with only three touchdowns and 372 yards last year.
Rookie H-Back, Jaylen Samuels, has the pass-catching skills to overtake James as the asked to attack the middle of the field.
Team 6: Seattle Seahawks
This pick seems to be more about reputation than acutal talent. The Seahawks have lost more than a few key pieces over the past few years. It seems like they are heading for a drop in effectiveness.
Team 5: Baltimore Ravens
Team 5 is getting a solid defense here with major upside. The younger defenders the Ravens drafted over the past three years are starting to develop in to playmakers.
Team 4: Rishard Matthews, WR, Titans
Outside of Delanie Walker, Matthews has been the most productive pass catcher with Marcus Mariota under center. He is as strong route runner capable of finding open spots in the defense.
Team 3: Greg Zuerlein, K, Rams
I always tend to look for kickers who play for a team with a strong offense. This typically provides them with more scoring opportunities.
Team 2: New Orleans Saints
The Saints defense is an aggressive unit filled with younger players. This group plays fast and isn’t afraid to take a risk.
Team 1: Mike Gesicki, TE, Dolphins
Gesicki is a major sleeper pick here for Team 1. He’s a big-bodied target who has a knack for making plays in the red zone. It may take a few games for them to round into form, but once he’s comfortable he could take off.
