2015 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft: Round 11

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.

Here are Round 11 results of our 2015 Fantasy Football Mock Draft:

11.01 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Eli Manning, QB,New York Giants

In the first six games of the season, Eli finished outside the top-12 fantasy quarterbacks in all but one game. Beginning with Odell Beckham's third NFL game (Week 7), however, Manning finished as a top-five fantasy quarterback in five of his final 10 games last season. (And a sixth game was inside the weekly top 10.) With a full season of ODB, the return of Victor Cruz, the free-agent addition of one of the league's better receiving backs (Shane Vereen) and more comfort and familiarity within Ben McAdoo's offense, Eli has the potential to post career numbers in 2015, also a contract year. In addition, only Tampa and Washington quarterbacks have a more favorable fantasy strength of schedule than Eli does.

11.02 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington Redskins

Garcon played a full 16-game season in back-to-back years for the first time in his career, but things weren't all positive for Garcon as his production was nearly cut in half to 68 catches for 752 yards and three touchdowns. (Garcon had 113/1,346/5 in 2013.) That said, the team has said that it plans to get Garcon more involved in 2015 although he won't come anywhere near the 113 catches he had last season.

11.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Roy Helu, RB, Oakland Raiders

In four seasons, Helu has been relatively productive on a per-touch basis (4.4 YPC, 8.9 Y/R). At a minimum, Helu should get plenty of work as the team's third-down back, but there is upside with unproven Latavius Murray as the featured back.

11.04 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Steve Smith, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Smith's first season as a Raven went better than expectations as he posted a 79/1,065/6 full-season stat line. With all four of his 100-yard games occurring in the first six games of the season, Smith was much less effective over the final 10 games. That said, he did have at least five catches in each of the final four games for a total of 25 catches during the final month of the season. Now 36 years old, it may be unlikely that Smith posts another 1,000-yard season, but he has made a career out of disproving his doubters.

[Per Pro Football Reference, there have five 1,000-yard seasons by an age-36 receiver (or older) and Jerry Rice has three of them.]

11.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Coby Fleener, TE, Indianapolis Colts

Fleener finished with 774 yards and eight touchdowns, both of which were career highs, on 51 receptions last season. Unsurprisingly, Fleener's best games last season came in games that Dwayne Allen was out. In the four games that Allen missed or left early due to injury, Fleener had 355 yards and four touchdowns. In the other 12 games, he had just 419 yards and four touchdowns. Assuming that Fleener and Allen are healthy for the entire season, I prefer a number of tight ends still on the board over Fleener.

11.06 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Tennessee Titans

Long term, there is plenty of upside with Green-Beckham, who possesses great size (and athleticism for that size) and was the top recruit in the country coming out of high school. There are a couple of things working against him in re-draft formats, however, as he sat out all of 2014 following his dismissal from the Mizzou program and he will have to shake off that rust with a fellow rookie at quarterback.

11.07 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): Jerick McKinnon, RB, Minnesota Vikings

When McKinnon was on the field last year, he was productive (4.76 YPC) and he averaged 16.38 touches per game from Weeks 4 to 12 before missing the rest of the year due to injury. McKinnon's volume of work won't approach anything close to 16 touches per game with Adrian Peterson back as the team's workhorse.

11.08 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): John Brown, WR, Arizona Cardinals

Small but ultra quick, Brown had a solid rookie season especially given the team's injuries at quarterback and finished with 48 receptions for 696 yards and five touchdowns. Improved year-over-year production should be expected and he's a solid WR5 for Brendan.

11.09 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Brian Quick, WR, St. Louis Rams

Tearing his rotator cuff in Week 8 last season, Quick played just seven games, but he started the season strong. In the first four games of the year, Quick had a total of 21 receptions for 322 yards and three touchdowns and finished as a top-25 fantasy wide receiver each week. Although he had just four catches for 53 yards in his other three games, Quick was on his way to a breakout season. Depending on his health, that breakout season could come for the former Appalachian State receiver in 2015.

11.10 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Michael Crabtree, WR, Oakland Raiders

The free-agent market for Crabtree's services was anything but robust, which led to his one-year deal with the Raiders. While Crabtree played a full 16-game season last year, he averaged only 10.3 Y/R and 43.6 Y/G, both of which were career lows. The good news is that the Raiders will trail often and need to throw (they ranked fourth in pass attempts last season), but the team drafted Amari Cooper fourth overall.

11.11 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Rueben Randle, WR,

A top-30 fantasy wide receiver in PPR scoring last season, Randle finished with 71 receptions for 938 yards on 127 targets, all of which shattered previous career highs. Randle benefitted from Odell Beckham and Victor Cruz missing a total of 14 games, but Randle just turned 24 years old this offseason and Eli Manning has predicted a "breakout" season for Randle in 2015.

11.12 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Donte Moncrief, WR, Indianapolis Colts

Moncrief had a couple of big games last season and earlier in the offseason, it appeared that 2015 would be a breakout year with Reggie Wayne no longer back in Indy. With the addition of Andre Johnson and Phillip Dorsett via free agency and the draft, respectively, modest improvement may come without a true "breakout" for Moncrief.
