Every year, I’m preaching the same message. Do not take your defense or kicker until the final two rounds of a snake draft. You’re leaving too much value on the table if you do anything other than that.

As for why the Steelers, this is a unit that can creat a ton of sacks and, in theory, should have an even better secondary. This could create a lot of splash plays, which is what you want for fantasy football. They should be ranked higher than they are by the consensus right now, but I’m happy to add them to the squad.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft Round 15

  • Team 1 (15.01): Baltimore Ravens D/ST
  • Team 2 (15.02): Denver Broncos D/ST
  • Team 3 (15.03): Evan McPherson, K, Cincinnati Bengals
  • Team 4 (15.04): Younghoe Koo, K, Atlanta Falcons
  • Team 5 (15.05): Jason Sanders, K, Miami Dolphins
  • Team 6 (15.06): Brandon McManus, K, Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Team 7 (15.07): Jake Elliott, K, Philadelphia Eagles
  • Team 8 (15.08): Kansas City Chiefs D/ST
  • Team 9 (15.09): Jason Myers, K, Seattle Seahawks
  • Team 10 (15.10): New Orleans Saints D/ST
  • Team 11 (15.11): Hayden Hurst, TE, Carolina Panthers
  • Team 12 (15.12): Matt Gay, K, Indianapolis Colts

My advice for kickers: Take veterans who are going to be complemented by good offenses. At worst, that’s going to give you at least a few extra-points per week, but could also net plenty more opportunities for drives that die in field goal range.

I’m high on the Dolphins this year, Saunders has continually been reliable, and this should all work out for him to be a solid kicking option. Of course, this position is so volatile, if that doesn’t work out, there’s sure to be a fine option available on waivers.
