2015 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft: Round 10

Scoring: This mock draft is based on point-per-reception (PPR) scoring formats and is for the 2015 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 and per reception.

Mock Draft Start Date: Monday, June 22nd
Mock Draft End Date: Tuesday, July 7th

Four of our site's contributors — Kevin Hanson, Brendan Donahue, Sean Beazley and Dan Yanotchko — will make picks for three teams of this 12-team mock. The mock will go 15 rounds with no kickers or team defenses selected.

Although this is a slow draft, we will post picks as they occur, along with comments from Kevin Hanson, as opposed to waiting for the entire mock draft to be completed.

Round: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 - Teams | Positions

Here are Round 10 results of our 2015 Fantasy Football Mock Draft:

10.01 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers

Although his targets (98), receptions (69) and yards (821) were down year over year, Gates finished with 12 touchdowns, the second-most of his career, and scored the third-most (PPR) fantasy points among tight ends last season. Gates finished as a weekly top-two tight end four times and top eight at the position eight times last season. While Dan shouldn't expect another top-three finish from the 35-year-old Gates, a top-10 finish is certainly within reach.

10.02 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Charles Sims, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The current regime inherited Doug Martin, but used a relatively early pick on the versatile Sims, who rushed for 3,465 yards in college but also added 203 receptions for 2,108 yards. It wouldn't surprise me if he led the Bucs' backfield in fantasy points this season, but he was less than impressive when healthy over the final eight games of his rookie season -- 2.8 yards per carry. And reports are that Martin has had a good offseason. With that said, Martin has struggled with durability -- 15 missed games over the past two seasons -- that Sims has upside here.

10.03 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Reggie Bush, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, Bush missed five games and gained a total of only 550 yards from scrimmage (50.0 per game) while averaging only 3.9 yards per carry and scoring just two touchdowns. Released by the Lions, Bush signed with the 49ers and will at least own a third-down role to unproven second-year back Carlos Hyde. And considering the offseason losses (via free agency and retirement) for the Niners, it's likely they throw the ball more often than they have in recent seasons.

10.04 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Torrey Smith, WR, San Francisco 49ers

Overall, it was a disappointing season for Smith, who either set or tied career lows with 49 receptions for 767 yards. On a positive note, however, Smith set a career high with 11 touchdowns and he was much more productive from Week 6 to 17. During that span, Smith averaged 3.8 catches for 59.1 yards and scored 10 of his 11 touchdowns. One of the league's more dangerous vertical threats, Smith fills a void for the 49ers, but his weekly production could remain relatively volatile.

10.05 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers

In Week 17 and their two playoff games, Adams was on the field for 91.2, 88.7 and 90.4 percent, respectively, of the team's snaps. While his numbers may not see a major spike with the Packers re-signing Randall Cobb, Adams will certainly improve upon his 38/446/3 rookie numbers and we've seen instances in which the Packers have had three productive fantasy wide receivers at the same time. In addition, Coach McCarthy dubbed Adams the "MVP" of OTAs.

10.06 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins

I get that there were concerns with Ajayi's knee, but it really surprised me that he slipped all the way to fifth round. Meanwhile, the Dolphins seemed fairly reluctant to give Lamar Miller a large workload (despite his level of production). The versatile Ajayi is a downhill runner with excellent size (6-0, 221) that also displayed excellent pass-catching ability with 50 receptions for 536 yards last season as well.

10.07 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Knile Davis, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Davis had some big games when given the opportunity as he finished as a top-eight fantasy running back four times last season. With Jamaal Charles leaving Week 2 early (only two carries) and missing Week 3, Davis had a combined 60 touches for 237 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in those two games. In the other games, Davis averaged just 6.92 touches per game but he had double-digit touches in four of those games as well. While he may be better as a handcuff for the Charles owner, Davis has the potential to provide Dan with some highly productive weeks as his RB5.

10.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Denard Robinson, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars signed Toby Gerhart last offseason expecting him to be the team's featured back, but Gerhart was a major disappointment. Of the team's running backs, Robinson was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of effectiveness. Shoelace got a shot at the featured role in Week 7 and posted back-to-back 100-yard games while averaging 4.3 yards per carry last season, but he finished the season on IR due to a foot injury. Going into 2015, he'll be nothing more than a change-of-pace option to T.J. Yeldon, on whom the Jags used a top-36 draft pick.

10.09 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Chris Ivory, RB, New York Jets

Although he averaged a career-low 4.1 YPC, Ivory once again rushed for more than 800 yards and set a career high with six touchdowns. The Jets signed Stevan Ridley in free agency and traded a seventh-round pick for Zac Stacy, but Ivory should lead that trio in both workload and fantasy production although Bilal Powell will likely get most of the third-down snaps.

More productive than most probably realized, Ivory finished as a top-24 fantasy running back in PPR formats last season. As the 51st running back off the board, Ivory may not be an exciting pick, but there is some upside.

10.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Marques Colston, WR, New Orleans Saints

Colston, who turned 32 in early June, finished with 59 receptions for 902 yards, both of which were the lowest of his career apart from an 11-game season in 2008. On a per-game basis, however, his 3.69 receptions, 6.25 targets and 56.38 yards per game were all career lows. One positive for Colston personally, not the offense in general, is that the team traded away both Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills so his targets and production are likely to see a bump in 2015.

10.11 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Jordan Cameron, TE, Miami Dolphins

In 2013, Cameron had a breakout season with 80 receptions for 917 yards and seven touchdowns. When healthy, he is clearly a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. Unfortunately, Cameron missed six games last season and has a history of concussions. Perhaps no injury is more worrisome from a fantasy outlook given the greater susceptibility and unpredictability of a recurrence. If Cameron plays 16 games in 2015, however, he has top-five upside for Brendan.

10.12 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Marcus Mariota, QB, Tennessee Titans

This is earlier than I'd take Mariota, but there is fantasy upside given his dual-threat abilities. We've seen quarterbacks post big fantasy weeks with relatively modest passing numbers due to elite rushing stats. I like Mariota long term, but his rookie season production could be quite volatile on a weekly basis. With back-to-back picks, Sean takes the quarterback I would have targeted at 11.01.
