2016 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Round 11
- 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 11 of our post-draft 2016 Fantasy Football Mock Draft:
11.01 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): C.J. Prosise, RB, Seattle Seahawks
With the retirement of Marshawn Lynch and injury (broken ankle) to Thomas Rawls, the Seahawks used multiple draft picks on running backs with Prosise being the earliest (Round 3). At a minimum, however, the team plans to use Prosise as their third-down/passing-down back. In fact, Prosise began his Notre Dame career as a wide receiver.
Coach Pete Carroll recently said the following of Prosise (via the Seattle Times): "He’s going to do things that he’s really good at and then we’re going to expand his role as he can handle it. There’s no reason he can’t be a first-down back, too. We just know what we’re going to attempt to do with him on third down."
11.02 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): DeAngelo Williams, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Filling in for Le'Veon Bell due to suspension and then injury, Williams finished as fantasy's RB4 in 2015. Williams racked up a total of 1,274 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns last year. If Bell plays a full season, Williams obviously won't come anywhere close to his 2015 numbers, but he is a must-own for any Bell owner, like Brendan.
11.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Ladarius Green, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers gave Green a large contract this offseason to take over for retired Heath Miller, but Green recently underwent ankle surgery. Assuming that he is healthy before the start of the season, Green should shatter previous career highs and he has top-10 upside.
11.04 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Devontae Booker, RB, Denver Broncos
The Broncos used a fourth-round pick on Booker and the rookie brings plenty of confidence to the team's backfield. "I’m not there to carry pads, I’m there to take someone’s job," Booker said. While he may not "take" C.J. Anderson's job, Booker is the Broncos running back to own (after CJA) and should challenge for early-down snaps.
11.05 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers
With 662 pass attempts (previous career high: 582), Rivers averaged a career-high 299.6 yards per game and threw 29 touchdowns despite multi-game absences by his top-two pass-catchers -- Keenan Allen (played eight games) and Antonio Gates (11 games). In fact, Rivers averaged 21.05 fantasy points per game with Allen; only 14.52/G without him.
Sean drafted Ben Roethlisberger in the eighth round, but Rivers gives Sean some protection if Big Ben misses time. Roethlisberger missed four games last season and has missed at least three games in three of the past six seasons.
11.06 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Paul Perkins, RB, New York Giants
Over the past couple of seasons at UCLA, Perkins ran for 2,918 yards, hauled in 56 receptions for 443 yards and scored a total of 26 touchdowns. With Rashad Jennings having a shaky durability track record and turning 31 this offseason, Perkins could find himself with a relatively large role as a rookie.
Given that Sean waited until Round 5 to select his first running back, none of his team's running backs rank inside my top-24 backs. So with a team full of "flex" running backs, Perkins gives Sean some insurance with Jennings as one of his top-three backs.
11.07 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): Javorius Allen, RB, Baltimore Ravens
With Justin Forsett healthy and the team drafting Kenneth Dixon in the fourth round, it's unclear how 2016 touches will be allocated, but Allen has shown an ability to be productive when given the opportunity. With Forsett sidelined over the final seven games of the season, Allen totalled 629 yards from scrimmage on 133 touches (including 37 receptions).
11.08 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Jerick McKinnon, RB, Minnesota Vikings
In limited opportunities, McKinnon has been productive -- 4.9 yards per carry in 165 career rush attempts. And Adrian Peterson is clearly the team's workhorse, but McKinnon should see a larger workload than he had last year (73 touches).
11.09 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Sterling Shepard, WR, New York Giants
The Giants used a top-40 pick on Shepard, who should be the No. 2 option behind Odell Beckham with Rueben Randle signing with the Eagles and the uncertainty of what Victor Cruz will be able to provide. I could see Shepard finishing with 60-plus catches as a rookie.
11.10 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Theo Riddick, RB, Detroit Lions
Riddick had 80 catches for 697 yards plus 133 rushing yards and three total touchdowns last season. While he's much better in PPR formats (RB18 last year), he finished as a top-40 option in standard-scoring leagues as well.
11.11 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers
Gates missed five games, but still finished as a top-12 fantasy tight end in 2015 at 35 years old. In fact, his 57.3 yards per game was a four-year high. If Keenan Allen stays healthy for a full season, he may average fewer yards, but he remains the favorite red-zone target of Philip Rivers and a top-12 option at the position heading into his age-36 season.
11.12 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Travis Benjamin, WR, San Diego Chargers
In spite of poor quarterback play in Cleveland, Benjamin broke out with a 68/966/5 season. With better weapons on San Diego's roster, Benjamin may be third in line behind Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates, but the improvement in quarterback play should allow Benjamin to come close to his 2015 numbers even if he falls a little short.
