Our 2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft (Standard Scoring)

|
Pick (Overall)
|
Contributor (Team)
|
Player, Pos., Team
|
1 (109).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 3)
|
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Falcons
|
If Michael Turner gets fewer touches in 2012, as expected, Rodgers should be the one to benefit the most.
As a rookie, Rodgers finished with 403 yards from scrimmage and 21 receptions. I project his numbers to
increase in 2012, but not by a lot.
|
| |
|
|
2 (110).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 3)
|
Anquan Boldin, WR, Ravens
|
Boldin is a boring 10th-round pick with little upside. Although he exceeded his career low in receptions by
only one last year, he saw his yardage increase from his first season in Baltimore by more than 11 yards per
game. If he stays healthy for a full season, I expect 900-something yards from Boldin.
|
| |
|
|
3 (111).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 3)
|
Santonio Holmes, WR, Jets
|
One of my least favorite players in the league, Holmes tied his career high in touchdowns (eight) last year, but
he had a disappointing season overall. Not exactly a great locker-room guy, Holmes has set career lows in
yardage in back-to-back seasons with the Jets. Since he was suspended four games in 2011, that says a
lot. If (or when) the Jets switch to Tim Tebow, things may get a lot worse for Holmes' numbers.
|
| |
|
|
4 (112).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 3)
|
Titus Young, WR, Lions
|
For what Young lacks in maturity, he possesses in upside in one of the league's most explosive offenses.
No team threw it more than the Lions last year and Young should (or has the potential to) be the most
targeted receiver not named Calvin.
|
|
|
5 (113).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 2)
|
Felix Jones, RB, Cowboys
|
DeMarco Murray has not been the most durable running back going back to his days in Norman. While
Murray clearly enters the season as the team's lead back, Jones has a lot of upside in the event that Murray
goes down with an injury.
|
| |
|
|
6 (114).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 2)
|
Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers
|
Keeping with my tradition of boring picks in this round, Crabtree is better in PPR (than standard-scoring)
leagues. Although he set career highs in receptions (72) and yards (874) in his third season, the Niners
have added Moss and Mario Manningham via free agency and drafted A.J. Jenkins in the first round this year.
|
| |
7 (115).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 2)
|
Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins
|
Depending on the progress of Daniel Thomas (see below, pick 10.12), Miller has the chance to be the team's
backup running back behind Reggie Bush, who played in all 16 games last year but has not been a model of
durability in his NFL career.
|
| |
|
|
8 (116).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 2)
|
LeGarrette Blount, RB, Buccaneers
|
Even though Doug Martin will likely get (a lot) more touches and is a better receiver, Blount is two years
removed from a 1,000-yard rushing season as an undrafted rookie free agent. In Greg Schiano's run- heavy
offense, there should be plenty to go around for both Martin and Blount to be productive.
|
|
|
9 (117).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 1)
|
Jacob Tamme, TE, Broncos
|
Tamme has a ton of upside being reunited with Peyton Manning in the Mile High City. The last time these two
played together with Tamme as the starting tight end, he finished with 67 receptions for 631 yards and four
touchdowns in a 10-game span.
|
| |
|
|
10 (118).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 1)
|
Tony Gonzalez, TE, Falcons
|
This is likely the final season for one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Gonzalez set three-year highs
with 875 yards and posted his second 80-reception season since joining the Falcons. Gonzalez has 19 TDs
in the past three seasons combined and has been consistent with six, six and seven scores.
|
| |
|
|
11 (119).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 1)
|
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Bengals
|
Three of the tight ends that I like, if you wait, are Tamme, Gresham and Brent Celek. In this case, Gresham is
the TE12, I have them ranked in PPR leagues, as follows: Gresham (10), Celek (11) and Tamme (12). Celek
is still on the board and think he's a nice value for whichever team selects him later.

|
|
12 (120).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 1)
|
Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins
|
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald recently wrote, "Most intriguing non-starter competition: Daniel Thomas
enters as the No. 2 running back behind Reggie Bush, but if he doesn’t improve his 3.5 per carry average and
yards after contact (fifth-worst among NFL backs), that will open a window for rookie Lamar Miller, who’s
more elusive than Thomas, and perhaps Steve Slaton, who this staff really likes. Thomas was an awful 3 for
13 in short yardage run conversions last year."
