Fantasy Football mock draft: 15 rounds for 10-team PPR league
By Jon Dove
Team 10: Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers
Team 10 continues to have an impressive draft landing an elite tight end like Greg Olson in the ninth round. His age is an obvious concern, but he remains Cam Newton’s favorite target.
Team 9: Robert Woods, WR, Rams
Woods and Jared Goff showed good chemistry last year which means he’ll remain in line for some targets. However, the addition of Brandin Cooks clouds the situation and Woods could be the odd man out.
My Team: Rex Burkhead, RB, Patriots
Burkhead is a risky pick based on his injury history, Bill Belichick’s running back use and the presence of Sony Michel. My thinking is that Burkhead has earned Belichick’s trust and will continue to get work.
Team 7: Rashaad Penny, RB, Seahawks
Penny is behind Chris Carson on the depth chart, but many are predicting his superior talent will eventual push him ahead. Team 7 already has Saquon Barkley and Dalvin Cook at running back so they could stand to take a small risk.
Team 6: Devin Funchess, WR, Panthers
Fuchess’ size makes him a strong red zone target which is excellent for fantasy. He has also someone with experience working with Cam Newton.
Team 5: Will Fuller, WR, Texans
Fuller can be a bit of hit or miss type fantasy player. His speed is a real game changer and in the past has resulted in major touchdown production.
Team 4: Sony Michel, RB, Patriots
Michel remains out with an injury, but should get work once he’s healthy. The injury situation is something to monitor as Michel missed plenty of time during his college career.
Team 3: Jimmy Graham, TE, Packers
The Jimmy Graham and Aaron Rodgers connection has a chance to be really special. Rodgers has a history of heavily using the tight end position and Graham is looking to rebuild from his Seattle years.
Team 2: Pierre Garcon, WR, 49ers
Garcon missed a lot of time last year with an injury and thus didn’t get a chance to work with Jimmy Garoppolo. However, he’s a veteran receiver who knows how to get open and provide his quarterback with a reliable target.
Team 1: Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams
This team is a little thin at wide receiver and are putting a lot of hope in Kupp to be a major fantasy contributor. He has the potential to deliver, but the Rams don’t lack for other pass catching options.
