Our 2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft (Standard Scoring)

Pick (Overall)
|
Contributor (Team)
|
Player, Pos., Team
|
1 (85).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 3)
|
Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers
|
In each of the past three seasons, Big Ben has thrown for more than 266 yards per game and is a lock for a
4,000-yard season assuming good health. With the emergence of Antonio Brown last year and Emmanuel
Sanders as a possible sleeper candidate, Roethlisberger just might have his best (fantasy) season yet.
|
| |
|
|
2 (86).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 3)
|
Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos
|
Last year, McGahee set a career low in rushing touchdowns (four), but he rushed for 1,199 yards, the third
highest total in his career. With the addition of Ronnie Hillman, a popular sleeper pick, the soon-to-be
31-year-old should see his numbers dip this year. But I still see McGahee finishing with around 1,000 yards.
|
| |
|
|
3 (87).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 3)
|
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Bengals
|
The Law Firm has yet to fumble in his NFL career and should get the largest share of the team's workload
and the goal-line carries. As the 34th running back off the board, he is a bargain here.
|
| |
|
|
4 (88).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 3)
|
Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots
|
I like Ridley's skill set, but I'm not a fan of his situation. Since Corey Dillon had 205 carries in 2005, the only
Patriots' back to surpass 200 carries was Green-Ellis (229 in 2010). Based on the pattern, another Patriots
running back is due to get a 200-carry season in 2015.
|
|
|
5 (89).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 2)
|
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Broncos
|
Although he's not a big back (5-9, 200), Hillman was highly productive in college (3,581 yards from
scrimmage and 38 total TDs in two seasons at SDSU) and ran well in between the tackles. With McGahee
turning 31 this year and Knowshon Moreno coming off a torn ACL, Hillman's opportunities may come sooner
rather than later.
|
| |
|
|
6 (90).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 2)
|
Fred Davis, TE, Redskins
|
If it weren't for a four-game suspension to close the season, Davis was on pace to exceed the 1,000-yard
milestone for the first time in his career last year. Although the Redskins added a number of receivers this
offseason, Davis is still the most talented option in their passing game (in my opinion).
|
| |
7 (91).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 2)
|
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions
|
Pettigrew finished second among all tight ends in targets (126) and third in receptions (83) last year. Not only
did he finish with career highs in receptions, but he set career highs in yards (777) and touchdowns (five).
|
| |
|
|
8 (92).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 2)
|
David Wilson, RB, Giants
|
Like in our standard-scoring mock, Dan takes Wilson in the eighth round of our PPR mock. Giants' offensive
coordinator Kevin Gilbride has talked up Wilson's explosiveness this offseason and VA Tech's single-season
rushing leader is only an Ahmad Bradshaw injury away from possibly having a huge season. Even if
Bradshaw, who has some durability issues stays healthy all year, Wilson should still have a productive
season.
|
|
|
9 (93).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 1)
|
Sidney Rice, WR, Seahawks
|
Can Rice stay healthy for a full season? If his recent injury history is any indication, it's unlikely. Rice has had
shoulder, knee and concussion issues and has played in only 15 games over the past two years.
|
| |
|
|
10 (94).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 1)
|
Michael Bush, RB, Raiders
|
If Bush can get about 10 touches per game plus the goal-line work, he is a solid option this late.
|
| |
|
|
11 (95).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 1)
|
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers
|
Unfortunately, Williams has to contend with Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert and even Cam Newton for carries.
That said, he is a fair value as the 39th running back off the board.
|
| |
|
|
12 (96).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 1)
|
Mike Williams, WR, Buccaneers
|
In his second season, Williams had the same exact number of receptions (65), but his season was a big
disappointment. His yardage and touchdowns dropped from 964 and 11 to 771 and three, respectively.
While the presence of Vincent Jackson should mean more one-on-one opportunities for Williams, new coach
Greg Schiano will employ a run-first philosophy in Tampa.
