Fantasy Football 2019: Rookie mock draft for dynasty leagues
By Kevin Scott
Round 3
3.1 – Devin Singletary, RB, Bills – If the Bills cut LeSean McCoy before the season, Singletary will rocket up this board. For now, he is a backup, and if he shows out you can pencil him in as the starter from next year on, even if he does not have the speed to be elite.
3.2 – Bruce Anderson, RB, Bucs – Anderson was in my first mock because of his talent. Though he went undrafted, he is still here because he landed on the Bucs, with only Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones above him on the depth chart. If things break his way, he could become the next Phillip Lindsay.
3.3 – Damien Harris, RB, Patriots – Harris’s value took a huge hit when he was drafted by New England. He should win a lot of NFL games, but fantasy owners will never know when to play him, and he may be purely a back up to Sony Michel.
3.4 – Stanley Morgan, Jr., WR, Bengals – Morgan was shockingly not drafted, though his skill level indicated he should have been drafted in about the fourth round. There are many factors that lead to such things happening. But the good news is that he landed with the Bengals, and he should have an opportunity to contribute soon as the third receiver, assuming John Ross never figures it out.
3.5 – Kelvin Harmon, WR, Redskins – Though he fell all the way to the sixth round, he landed in an ideal situation as well, with very little talent in front of him. He could be a steal in both the NFL drafts and in dynasty drafts.
3.6 – Alexander Mattison, RB, Vikings – Though possibly just a handcuff to Dalvin Cook, Mattison may end up serving as a change of pace back and get meaningful carries in this offense.
3.7 – Jaylen Hurd, WR, 49ers – It is hard to tell how the 49ers plan to use Hurd, since they have Pettis and drafted Deebo Samuel earlier. But it is possible they plan to continue developing Hurd and work him into a role on the outside, opposite Pettis. He is a boom or bust pick but has huge upside.
3.8 – Bryce Love, RB, Redskins – Love could end up learning under Chris Thompson for a year and then taking his job.
3.9 – Justice Hill, RB, Ravens – Only Kenneth Dixon likely stands in Hill’s way when it comes to the 3rd down work, and Dixon’s contract is up after this season.
3.10 – James Williams, RB, Chiefs – Though undrafted, Williams also chose the perfect team to go to. He looks to become the Chiefs’ version of James White.
3.11 – Rodney Anderson, RB, Bengals – He is likely just insurance for Joe Mixon, but there is always a chance they let Mixon walk when the time comes if they love what they see in Anderson.
3.12 – Josh Oliver, TE, Jaguars – Oliver fills a huge need for the Jags, though it is not clear if he is good enough to make a huge impact. But with so few options at tight end, he’s worth a roll of the dice.
