Fantasy Football mock draft: 15 rounds for 10-team PPR league
By Jon Dove
Team 10:Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs
The thought process is that Tyreek Hill will be able to put up some bigger numbers with the presence of Patrick Mahomes. However, the young quarterback is going less accurate than Alex Smith which could be an issue.
Team 9: Adam Thielen, WR, Vikings
Thielen isn’t as explosive as Stefon Diggs, but he runs clean routes and has a knack for finding space. He is someone who offers both consistency and big-game potential in PPR formats.
My Team: Doug Baldwin, WR, Seahawks
Baldwin is still out with an injury, but should be good to go by the time the season gets underway. His production with Russell Wilson is undeniable which makes him a reliable player to own. This is my third receiver leaving Joe Mixon as my only running back at this point.
Team 7: Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs
Kelce remains one of the better tight ends for fantasy purposes. Andy Reid and company love to work the big-bodied tight end into the mix. He could quickly become Patrick Mahomes security blanket.
Team 6: Jay Ajayi, RB, Eagles
Ajayi should be the Eagles leader in carries, but he still needs to share the load with Corey Clement and Darren Sproles. There’s also the underling concern surrounding Ajayi’s knee.
Team 5: Alex Collins, RB, Ravens
Collins emerged last year as the Ravens top running back option. He’s a hard-nosed runner who fights for every last year. His production in the passing game could be better, but this is someone who will get work and produce.
Team 4: Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders
It’s no or never for Amari Cooper to live up to his draft hype. Michael Crabtree is out the door and Cooper is now the team’s No. 1 receiver. Oakland brought in Jordy Nelson, but Cooper is the team’s top option.
Team 3: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos
It seems like a lot of people are forgetting the type of talent Thomas possesses. He is primed for a bounce back year with Case Keenum now under center.
Team 2: Allen Robinson, WR, Bears
The Bears gave Robinson a larger contract to come in and be the team’s go-to receiver. His size and ability to produce in the red zone makes him an intriguing fantasy option. However, some of his upside relies on Mitch Trubisky’s progression.
Team 1: Jarvis Landry, WR, Browns
Landry is someone I’m targeting in PPR leagues. His production in this format has been through the roof. Landing in Cleveland doesn’t hurt his potential as Tyrod Taylor is a step up from the quarterbacks Landry worked with in Miami.
