Fantasy Football: Rounds 10-12 Breakdown

My Picks:

10.115: DeSean Jackson | WR | PHI

11.126: James Washington | WR | PIT

12.139: Mark Andrews | TE | BAL

Fantasy Football Analysis:

This is where, in a 12-team draft, things start to get rather bleak and you start taking low-cost players with a decent amount of upside.

I was really gunning for one of the Packers young WRs here but they were both drafted ahead of my turn, so I turned to D-Jax. DeSean Jackson‘s prime is behind him, but adding him to a high-octane offense like the Eagles boosts his draft stock.

He averaged 18.9 yards per catch last season and while he won’t get the volume of his teammates Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz, he possesses the most big-play potential on the team.

I took a bit of a gamble here with James Washington, but I expect either him or Donte Moncrief to slide in as the WR2 with the departure of Antonio Brown. He’s also being hyped up by his coaching staff as well as Ben Roethlisberger throughout camp, only strengthening his potential case for a starting bid in another high-octane passing attack.

Speaking of word-of-mouth, that’s the biggest reason I took a gamble on Mark Andrews here. While tight ends typically take a year to get accustomed to their roles in the NFL (more so than wide receivers and running backs), Andrews made a splash in 2018 for the Ravens, leading the Baltimore tight end unit in receptions (34), yards (554) and touchdowns (3).

On top of that, it has reportedly looked like he and Lamar Jackson are developing fantastic chemistry in camp, which should only increase the young tight end’s stock with a year under his belt. If you’re looking to wait on a tight end, this would be a round to target a player like Andrews.

Priority players that were sniped: Round 10 – Geronimo Allison (5 picks ahead of DeSean Jackson), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (1 pick ahead of DeSean Jackson), Round 11 – Dion Lewis (1 pick ahead of James Washington), Round 12 – Trey Burton (1 pick ahead of Mark Andrews)
