![]() ![]() #Yahoo fantasy football mock draft upgrade#Russell Wilson’s weapons/supporting cast overall are pretty even going from Seattle to Denver, but Nathaniel Hackett calling the shots is an upgrade over Pete Carroll. Round 9, Pick 2: Russell Wilson (QB – DEN) All he needs is a change of scenery to recapture his rookie year accolades when he led the NFL in rushing yards. His 6th-ranked yards after contact per attempt (3.54), 6th-ranked yards per route run (1.81) and 26% target rate suggest he’s not slowing down entering his age-27 season. But should an injury occur to Chubb or another star running back, Hunt would easily flirt with league-winning upside if he is awarded the requisite volume to do so. ![]() Hunt’s true upside will always be capped in a backfield as the Robin to Chubb’s Batman. He was a top-10 running back in PPR averaging 17 fantasy points per game averaging just south of 15 touches per game. Last year Hunt was limited to just eight games due to a calf injury – but he maintained his effectiveness when healthy through the first six weeks of the season. If no deal is reached by the time the season starts, it would be much less likely that Hunt stays in Cleveland, making him a primed trade target for any team that suffers an injury at running back through training camp/preseason. His contract expires in 2023, and the Browns have a mighty stable of backs behind Nick Chubb including D’Ernest Johnson, Jerome Ford and Demetric Felton. ![]() Kareem Hunt’s been rumored to be on the trade block this offseason. Averaging over one more fantasy point from the year prior, Hockenson fits the mold as a post-hype sleeper after he failed to truly break out in 2021. Through 13 weeks, the Detriot Lions tight end ranked sixth in points per game, fifth in targets per game (7), first in route participation (85%), third in target share (19%) and third in air yard share. But the hate is unwarranted, as Hockenson was well on his way to a career year with the Lions. Hockenson’s season cut short by injuries has left a bitter taste in fantasy football managers’ mouths. He could return RB2 production this season, but there’s the risk with his injury history and how high-value touches could be divided up in 2022. While Sanders will see touchdown regression this season, he will still have to deal with Jalen Hurts near the goal line and the looming specters of Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell. Despite seeing 23 touches inside the 20, he failed to get into the endzone in 2021. When he returned from the ankle injury, he was the Eagles’ clear lead back (Weeks 11-15), averaging 16.8 carries per game, although his pass game usage dried up (1.8 targets per game). He then sustained an ankle injury that landed him on the injured reserve. Miles Sanders opened the year playing 60-83% of snaps in the first six games but only averaging 9.5 rushing attempts per game. Round 6, Pick 11: Miles Sanders (RB – PHI) And prior to that, he supplemented DeAndre Hopkins as the fantasy WR4 and WR10 from 2018-2019. The ex-Texans quarterback fueled top fantasy WR finishes for the likes of Brandin Cooks (WR16, 2020) and Will Fuller (WR8/game, 2020) the last time he played. And that floor will be accompanied by an extremely high ceiling with Deshaun Watson entrenched under center. There is hope that he can provide a higher floor as the clear No. And during the final four games of the season with Davis Mills at quarterback, Cooks was top-10 in fantasy points per game (15.0) to go along with a top-5 target rate per route run (33%).Īmari Cooper finished last season 27th in half-PPR per game (11.2), which was in line with his career average. Last season, he was a target and air yards hog, finishing fourth in air yards share (36%) and ninth in target share (24%). At just 28 years old, Cooks shows little signs of slowing down. He has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards six times with four different teams during that span. Round 4, Pick 11: Brandin Cooks (WR – HOU)īrandin Cooks has finished worse than the fantasy WR20 only once since 2015, and that was due to injury. With Tom Brady back in the fold, Evans is a locked-in top 12 option at the receiver position that could crest the top five if Chris Godwin is slow out the gate or starts the season on the PUP. Last season he ranked 11th in red-zone targets and second in total touchdowns at the receiver position. He’s finished as a top 20 wide receiver in weekly fantasy scoring in every season but one. Over the last eight seasons, he’s hit 1,000 or more every year. Mike Evans’ consistency in fantasy football is astounding. ![]()
