Fantasy Football mock draft: 15 rounds for 10-team PPR league
By Jon Dove
Team 1: Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans
Team 1 didn’t seem turned off by Watson’s injury and limited experience in the NFL. It is a sound thought because Watson showed last year he can be a major asset in fantasy football.
Team 2: Corey Davis, WR, Titans
This is a pick I didn’t like especially with Marquise Goodwin, Michael Crabtree and Sammy Watkins still on the board. Davis is a talented athlete, but hasn’t proven himself in the league.
Team 3: Marquise Goodwin, WR, 49ers
Goodwin was a breakout performer last year and looks ready to build on that success. He’s a deep threat who is starting to develop as a route runner. Goodwin and Jimmy Garoppolo have shown excellent chemistry.
Team 4: Michael Crabtree, WR, Ravens
Crabtree has a lot of value this late in a PPR draft. He’s a veteran receiver who is already clicking with Joe Flacco. The Ravens passing attack could be much more potent than most think.
Team 5: Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles
Wentz will be back as the Eagles starting Quarterback it’s just a matter of when. Team 5 is willing to ride with a backup for for a week or two in order to get Wentz’s upside. This isn’t a bad strategy based on how he performed last year.

Team 6: Sammy Watkins, WR, Chiefs
It’s hard to look at Watkins’ career and feel optimistic for a big year. He’s with his third team in three years, working with an inexperienced quarterback and remains an injury concern.
Team 7: Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions
The Lions want to run the ball more this year, but they have been saying that for years. Stafford has been the one constant and that isn’t changing now. He’ll keep pace with his career numbers and be a solid fantasy option.
My Team: Kerryon Johnson, RB, Lions
Johnson is one of the reasons why the Lions are optimistic of their running attack. He’s a powerful runner who also brings some explosiveness. I needed someone with a little more upside after taking Marshawn Lynch with my previous pick.
Team 9: Tevin Coleman, RB, Falcons
Coleman is still the backup to Devonta Freeman making it tough to predict his workload from week to week. However, if Freeman should miss time with an injury Coleman will become a top-end fantasy option.
Team 10: Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Broncos
Like Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders should see improved production with Case Keenum in town. Sanders is still a very savvy route runner with the ability to stretch the field at times.
