Jeremy Hill moves into first round in latest mock
Can you believe it? After an offseason full of one-man mocks, this is the final edition before the start of the 2015 campaign. It's a little like the previous posts, though you'll find a few big-name omi sions ... none more obvious than injured superstar (groin). It also sees the addition of and (wait for the applause from the ) ... .One thing hasn't changed, though, and that's the high number of running backs and wide receivers (and the lack of quarterbacks) who are selected with the first 50 overall selections. In fact, a mere four fantasy signal-callers made the list. One of the omi sions could surprise you too. Think horses. And high altitudes. There's also just a pair of tight ends that made the top 50 selections.So read on, enjoy and leave your comments in the section below!This mock draft is based on NFL.com's standard 10-team leagues with a basic (non-PPR) scoring system that rewards four points for touchdown pa ses and six points for all other touchdowns scored. Each numbered position represents an individual fantasy team, so no more than one quarterback, three running backs, three wide receivers or one tight end will be selected per roster.Round 11. , RB, : Bell might be the most talented youngster in the entire league at the running back position. A versatile performer, he is as dangerous a runner as he is a pa s catcher out of the backfield. When the NFL reduced his suspension from three to two games, I moved him up to the No. 1 overall selection and ahead of .2. , RB, : Peterson is back, signed to a new extension and ready to roll. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner's units are always running back-friendly, both in terms of rushing and receiving opportunities, and the had a top-10 Ty Law Jersey run-blocking line last season according to Pro Football Focus. Plus, he's still .3. , RB, : Charles experienced a decline in statistics acro s the board last season, but he still ranked among the top fantasy running backs in the league. A speedster who can take it to the house any time he touches the football, Charles at 28 years old, is a virtual lock to remain one of the first five players picked at his position in all drafts.4. , RB, : A bruising, young runner out of Alabama, Lacy has finished in the top 10 in fantasy points at the position in each of his first two NFL seasons. An underrated receiver, he's a three-down back who also has the advantage of playing in an offense that features . At 24 years old, Lacy is also now entering the prime of his career.5. , RB, : No running back has had more carries than Lynch over the last four years, so fantasy owners have to be concerned about him breaking down entering his age-29 campaign. However, anyone who has seen "Beast Mode" run would be hard-pre sed to notice him slowing down on the gridiron. You just can't pa s up on Lynch at this point.6. , RB, : Forte is one of the most versatile backs in the league, which was evident during his 102-catch campaign in 2014. While he did lose some of his luster when the fired Marc Trestman, he'll remain a featured runner under new head coach John Fox. At 29, however, this could end up being Forte's last huge season in the stat sheets.7. , WR, : The top wide receiver in , Brown is coming off a career-best campaign that saw him post league-highs in both receptions (129) and receiving yards (1,698). At the age of 26 and entering the prime of his career, Brown will have his name called in Round 1 in both standard drafts and countle s PPR Cam Newton Jersey formats as well.8. , RB, : Anderson was one of the top waiver-wire pickups last season, scoring 19-plus fantasy points in six of his final eight games. While and are also in the mix for carries in Denver, it would be a shock if Anderson didn't lead the team in backfield touches. He'll be a top-10 selection in most 2015 leagues.9. , RB, : I have moved Hill up my draft board in the last month, and the lo s of at the running back position has pushed him into the first round. While he will lose some work to in the pa sing game, Hill is a virtual lock to lead Cincinnati in carries this season. His statistical ceiling is very attractive.10. , TE, : The top fantasy tight end heading into 2015, Gronkowski produced 82 catches, 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns in 15 games last season. A touchdown machine, he's found the end zone a combined 54 times in his 65 career regular-season contests (0.83 per game). The suspension of shouldn't decrease his stock too much.Round 211. , RB, : I know, McCoy was one of the biggest disappointments in a year ago. He's also joining an offense with questions at quarterback and on the offensive line. But at the age of 26 and now in the run-based offense of new coach Rex Ryan, volume is going to be the biggest reason for McCoy to remain in the top 12 overall.12. , WR, : Over the last three years, few wide receivers have been more consistent in the stat sheets than Thomas. During that time, he's finished no worse than fifth in fantasy points at the position while catching pa ses from future r . He also recently signed a lucrative five-year deal with Denver. 13. , WR, : Matthew Slater Jersey mi sed three games last season due to injuries, which was a huge part of the reason he fell out of the top 15 in fantasy points among wideouts. It's tough to see a scenario where he doesn't bounce back, however, as he still has one of the elite skill sets at his position. He won't last beyond Round 2 in all re-drafts.14. , RB, : Here's where things get a little worrisome at running back. While Murray was the top-scoring player at his position last season, he also had an enormous number of touches (436 including the playoffs). Now with the , he's going to lose work to both and . There's a lot of risk right here.15. , WR, : Want to talk wide receivers and touchdowns? Let's talk about Bryant, who has found the end zone 41 times in the last three seasons combined. That's the most of any wideout during that time. With a new contract in hand and the motivation to win another NFC East title (or more), Bryant should remain a productive choice in fantasy drafts.16. , WR, : Jones scored just six touchdowns last season, but he also produced career bests in receptions (104) and yards (1,593). His succe s should continue in the "X" receiver position under new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, and the fact that he's entering a contract year makes Jones even more attractive. He's a second-round lock.17. Jr., WR, : I've heard plenty of fans suggest that Beckham is now worth a first-round pick. That would be true if we were guaranteed to get the 17 fantasy points per game he averaged as a rookie, but we all know there are no guarantees in the NFL. Regardle s, OBJ won't be on the board after the first 20 overall fantasy selections.18. , WR, : Nelson finished tied for second in fantasy points among wideouts last season, posting 1,519 yards with 13 touchdowns. With back with the , this team will have the best duo of wideouts in once again. It's hard not to like Nelson just a little bit more from a statistical perspective, however.19. , WR, : Jeffery pa sed his former teammate, , as one of the top wide receivers in last season. Now that Marshall is in New York, well, Jeffery's fantasy stock is on the rise. He's a borderline No. 1 fantasy wideout and should be an absolute target machine even after the addition of rookie .20. , WR, : The addition of quarterback is an upgrade at the position in Tampa Bay, at least that's what and fantasy fans are Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey hoping. Evans also has the size and skills to be an elite fantasy wideout in the future. He's moving up my draft board after working with former fantasy star Randy Mo s in the offseason.Round 321. , WR, : Cobb was a top-five fantasy wideout last season, but even he thinks it will be tough to duplicate that level of production. At a position that is pretty deep at the top, the Kentucky product is more of a low-end No. 1 fantasy option for 2015.22. , WR, : Green mi sed three games due to injuries and was banged up in a few others last season, so it's not a surprise that he posted his worst numbers as a pro. With that said, he has second-round talent and could still become a serious draft bargain.23. , RB, : It took four years, but Ingram finally looked like a first-round running back in 2014. He'll be back with the in an offense that could become a lot more balanced, so don't be surprised if he comes off the board within the top 25 picks.24. , WR, : Sanders ranked eighth in fantasy points among wideouts last season, but would a decline bring his stats back to Earth? Regardle s, it's tough to pa s on this field-stretching playmaker as a high-end No. 2 fantasy wide receiver.25. , QB, : Rodgers is going to go a lot higher in countle s 2015 fantasy drafts, even as high as the No. 1 overall selection. But you all know me, I'm simply not going to take a field general, even one as good as Rodgers, in one of the first two rounds.26. , RB, : Gore is long in the tooth, but he's a great fit for the offense and will see a lot fewer stacked fronts with a superstar like Luck under center. He's on the No. 2 running back radar in most formats and will be a top-30 overall selection.27. , WR, : Hilton is one of the best young wide receivers in , and he'll be motivated to produce tremendous numbers in a contract year. He also has one of the two best quarterbacks in the league throwing him the football in .28. , WR, : The closer we get to the start of real football, the more I love Cooks. A breakout candidate, he's going to see plenty of targets from Brees after the traded and on the offseason. His upside is ginormous.29. , RB, : Re-signing with the kept Forsett prominent in fantasy land and in an offense that will continue to lean on the run under Trestman. Furthermore, there's a legitimate chance the California product could see 70 or more catches in 2015.30. , QB, : Luck is the lone field general to throw for 40 touchdowns in 2014, and at age 25 he hasn't even reached the prime of his career. So why has he lasted so long in this draft? Simple supply and demand. His weapons in the pa s attack are unreal.Round 431. , RB, : Miller is entering a contract year at the age of 24, and I'm not concerned with his touch totals after the addition of . 32. , WR, : The wideout torch in Houston has been pa sed to the talented Hopkins, who has plenty of fantasy upside at the tender age of 22. 33. , RB, : There's a whole lot to like about Gordon, who figures to be the first rookie picked in most re-draft leagues this season. 34. , RB, : Morris has seen his carries and rushing yards decline in each of Jalen Mills Jersey his first three seasons, but he's still a rock-solid RB2. 35. , WR, : Benjamin is an athletic freak and red-zone beast for the . His rapport with will only continue to improve. 36. , RB, : Hyde is one of the most popular breakout candidates in , but that Niners offensive line has some big holes. 37. , RB, : The Cards added rookie in the draft, but Ellington remains the best bet for fantasy points in their backfield. 38. , TE, : Graham is still the No. 2 fantasy tight end for 2015, but his stock does take an obvious tumble moving from New Orleans to Seattle. 39. , RB, : Gurley avoided the PUP list in training camp, and I see him taking over the reins of the backfield a few weeks into the season. 40. , RB, : The have questions on their offensive line, but Yeldon is a three-down back who will open 2015 as their top runner.
