2016 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Round 10
- Mock start date: Saturday, May 14th- Mock end date: Saturday, May 28th
Scoring: This mock draft is based on standard-scoring formats and is for the 2016 season only (i.e., not keeper or dynasty leagues). Passing touchdowns are worth four points while rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth six points. In addition, one point is earned per 25 passing yards, 10 rushing or 10 receiving yards.
In this mock draft, four of our contributors -- Kevin Hanson, Brendan Donahue, Sean Beazley and Dan Yanotchko -- will each draft for three (of 12) teams.
Note: This is a "slow" mock, but picks will be added once they are made with commentary from Kevin Hanson.

Here is Round 10 of our post-draft 2016 Fantasy Football Mock Draft:
10.01 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Josh Doctson, WR, Washington Redskins
Many believed that Doctson was the best receiver in this year's rookie class, but it may be a season before his true impact is felt as DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon are still on the team's roster. It would make sense for the team to part ways with Garcon, but it sounds unlikely at this point, but both Garcon and D-Jax will become free agents next offseason. While Doctson's 2017 season should be much better than his 2016 season, his role in the offense should expand as the season progresses.
10.02 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Karlos Williams, RB, Buffalo Bills
When given touches, Williams was highly productive -- 93 carries for 517 yards (5.6 YPC), 11 catches for 96 yards and nine total touchdowns -- in 11 games last season. For this team, he's a high-upside RB5 if LeSean McCoy misses any time.
10.03 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Julius Thomas, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars
Missing much of training camp and the first four games of the season, Thomas did not make the impact that he or the team expected when they signed him to a lucrative free-agent contract. Thomas should establish better chemistry with Blake Bortles this season provided he can stay healthy, but he has missed multiple games in each of the past three seasons as a starter with the Broncos and the Jags.
10.04 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Tevin Coleman, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Injuries slowed Coleman, who missed four games as a rookie. While he lost three fumbles on just 87 carries, he did average 4.5 yards per carry and he has plenty of big-play ability. Assuming he stays healthy and does a better job of protecting the football, Coleman could wind up getting in the neighborhood of 10 touches per game in 2016. Plus, Dan's team owns Devonta Freeman as well so this pick provides him some insurance.
10.05 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Breshad Perriman, WR, Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens used their 2015 first-round draft pick on Perriman, but the big-play wideout missed all of 2015 due to a PCL injury. With the Ravens adding Mike Wallace, however, both receivers will compete for the same role within the offense.
10.06 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): Mohamed Sanu, WR, Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons gave Sanu a big free-agent deal to become Atlanta's No. 2 receiver behind stud Julio Jones. Based on his contract and role more so than talent, Sanu should have an opportunity to put up numbers similar to his 2014 season (56/790/5), a year in which he also led the league in drops.
10.07 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Coby Fleener, TE, New Orleans Saints
With 50-plus catches in each of the past three seasons, Fleener should have an opportunity to exceed that production by a considerable amount. In the team's first season without Jimmy Graham, Ben Watson essentially came out of nowhere to finish as a top-eight fantasy tight end in 2015. Playing with Drew Brees and with Watson gone, Fleener could not have landed in a better spot as a free agent.
10.08 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Willie Snead, WR, New Orleans Saints
Starting opposite Brandin Cooks, Snead nearly reached the 1,000-yard mark with a 69/984/3 stat line. Snead didn't have many big games, but he had at least four receptions in 11 of 16 games.
10.09 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles
Ertz set career highs in 2015 with 75 catches for 853 yards, but he had just two touchdowns. Ertz was especially good over the final four games of the season with a 35/450/1 line during that span. Obviously, he'll slow from his end-of-season torrid pace, but hopefully Ertz can build upon last year's positive momentum.
10.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Jordan Howard, RB, Chicago Bears
The Bears used a fifth-round pick on Howard and it wouldn't surprise me if the 230-pound back ends up scoring more fantasy points than Jeremy Langford. To be clear, I have Langford ranked higher than Howard, but I'd much rather draft Howard late than Langford early. One AFC running backs coach called Howard the "best runner in this year's draft" (via NFL.com) and while I wouldn't go that far, Howard will be a back that I target late in virtually all of my drafts.
10.11 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Laquon Treadwell, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Some will knock Treadwell for his (lack of) speed, but the Vikings first-round pick is a big-bodied (6-2, 221), physical receiver with strong hands that runs good routes. Perhaps a bigger problem than his speed is Minnesota's offense, as no team threw it less than the Vikings in 2015, but Treadwell should make his presence felt in the red zone.
10.12 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Gary Barnidge, TE, Cleveland Browns
It was the atypical 30-year-old breakout for Barnidge last season as he finished with 79 catches for 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns, all of which exceeded his NFL production from 2008 to 2014 combined. In fact, only Rob Gronkowski scored more fantasy points than Barnidge in standard-scoring formats (TE4 in PPR) last season. While he may not finish as a top-five producer once again, he enters the season as a viable starting tight end despite a change in coaching staff and quarterback.
