Our 2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft (Standard Scoring)

Pick (Overall)
|
Contributor (Team)
|
Player, Pos., Team
|
1 (133).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 3)
|
Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Bills
|
There are a few quarterbacks still on the board that I'd prefer over The Amish Rifle including Joe Flacco and
Carson Palmer. Fitzpatrick set career highs last year in completions (353), passing yards (3,832) and
touchdowns (24) but also had a league- and career-worse 23 interceptions.

|
2 (134).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 3)
|
Austin Collie, WR, Colts
|
After concussions prematurely ended what was about to be a breakout season in 2010, Collie played a full
16-game season last year. Although his numbers were disappointing (54-514-1), the (huge) upgrade at
quarterback has to help bounce back some.

|
|
3 (135).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 3)
|
Kevin Smith, RB, Lions
|
With Jahvid Best still not cleared for training camp and Mikel LeShoure suspended for Weeks 1 and 2, Smith
is the likely starter in at least the first two weeks. Depending on his production in those two games, perhaps
he won't cede a majority of the workload to LeShoure as I ultimately expect.
|
| |
|
|
4 (136).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 3)
|
Danny Amendola, WR, Rams
|
Out of the slot, Amendola racked up 85 receptions, the ninth-most, in 2010. (Last year, he suffered a season-
ending injury in Week 1.) While he won't rack up a ton of yards or touchdowns, he should come close to his
reception total from 2010 provided he stays healthy for a full season.
|
|
|
5 (137).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 2)
|
Isaiah Pead, RB, Rams
|
Pead will be a change-of-pace back and the primary backup to SJax. Although he just turned 29 on July 22nd,
Jackson has been a durable workhorse back and has 2,138 career rushing attempts (31st all time). That
has to take a toll on a guy, which makes me a bit worried about Jackson and like Pead.
|
| |
|
|
6 (138).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 2)
|
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Steelers
|
Sanders is a wide receiver that I thought could be poised for a breakout season even with a full complement
of happy and healthy Steelers' receivers. With the Steelers giving Antonio Brown a five-year extension (and a
possible trade of Mike Wallace as a consequence), my confidence in Sanders only grows. I really like his
value here.
|
| |
7 (139).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 2)
|
Vincent Brown, WR, Chargers
|
Before the addition of Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal, I really liked the fantasy upside of Brown. That said,
all of the team's other top three receivers (Meachem, Royal and Malcom Floyd) have some durability
concerns. He should easily be able to improve upon his rookie numbers: 19 receptions, 329 yards and two
touchdowns.
|
| |
|
|
8 (140).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 2)
|
Dustin Keller, TE, Jets
|
Keller has the ability to create mismatches and he has been targeted quite a bit. He was tied with A.J. Green
and Tony Gonzalez for 24th last year in targets (116). That said, his production is inconsistent as he tends to
start strong and then fizzle out. With the possible quarterback shift to Tim Tebow midseason, I'd prefer to take
someone like Brent Celek over Keller.
|
|
|
9 (141).
|
Dan Yanotchko (Team 1)
|
Jared Cook, TE, Titans
|
Cook has the potential to have a breakout season. Unlike Keller, Cook has started slow but finished strong
in each of the past two years. In the final three games of 2011, Cook had 21 receptions for 335 yards
(including two 100-yard games) and a touchdown. Can he put it all together for a breakout season in 2012?
|
| |
|
|
10 (142).
|
Brendan Donahue (Team 1)
|
Tim Hightower, RB, Redskins
|
Just hearing Hightower's name frustrates me. While Helu is certainly a more talented, all-around back, the
'Skins gave Hightower 84 carries in the five games he played last year and it's only anyone's best guess how
they will allocate carries within the Redskins offense.
|
| |
|
|
11 (143).
|
Kevin Hanson (Team 1)
|
Bernard Scott, RB, Bengals
|
While I think The Law Firm gets the majority of touches, Scott has the potential to get 10-15 touches per game
as well, especially on passing downs.
|
| |
|
|
12 (144).
|
Sean Beazley (Team 1)
|
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Steelers
|
As expected, Mendenhall started training camp on the active/PUP list as he is recovering from a torn ACL. It's
possible (likely) that he starts the season on the PUP list, which would mean he misses at least the first six
games of the season as well. Back in Round 3, I made the joke (although not too funny) that Sean was
cornering the market in RBs coming off a torn ACL. The trend continued as this team has Peterson, Charles
and now Mendenhall. Dr. James Andrews would be proud.
