2015 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft: Round 15

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 15 results of our 2015 Fantasy Football Mock Draft:

15.01 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): DeAngelo Williams, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Williams has had some really productive NFL seasons -- 1,515 rushing yards and 18 rushing scores in 2008, as an example -- and has averaged 4.78 YPC over his career. Now 32 years old, Williams won't be the featured back for his new team (starting in Week 4). With Le'Veon Bell suspended for the first three games, however, Williams is expected to lead the team's backfield in touches during that span, which works well for Sean since he took Bell at 1.01.

15.02 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Marvin Jones, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

Two seasons ago, Jones broke out with 51 catches for 712 yards and 10 touchdowns, but he missed all of last season. Healthy now, he should move back into the team's No. 2 receiver role, but the Bengals ranked near the bottom of the league in pass attempts (31.7/G) last season.

15.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Kenny Britt, WR, St. Louis Rams

Britt scored the 54th-most fantasy points among wide receivers last season and he gets a quarterback upgrade in Nick Foles. That said, he averaged 6.71 fantasy points per game after the injury to Brian Quick compared to 4.52/G prior to the injury. While the upside isn't high, Britt provides some depth for this team.

15.04 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee Titans

The hype going into 2014 got out of hand and Hunter vastly underperformed expectations (28/498/3). Expectations are obviously much lower going into 2015, but the physical tools are there to make him worth a roll of the dice this late.

15.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Tavon Austin, WR, St. Louis Rams

Through two seasons, Austin has just 1,035 yards from scrimmage -- 660 receiving and 375 rushing -- and nine touchdowns. In fact, he was only targeted 44 times in 15 games last season.

15.06 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Lorenzo Taliaferro, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Like Buck Allen, Taliaferro will back up Justin Forsett, who is coming off a career year (1,266 rushing yards) for the Ravens. As noted earlier, hiring Trestman to run the offense will boost the pass-catching opportunities for the backfield.


15.07 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): James White, RB, New England Patriots

The departure of Shane Vereen in free agency opens the door for a new third-down back in New England. If that's White (and he appears to be the favorite), he's a nice value here.

15.08 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos

Hillman had a couple of very productive games last season, but he is currently third on the depth chart behind C.J. Anderson and Montee Ball. He's worth a flier this late, however.

15.09 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers

The backup to one of the league's best running backs, Starks isn't going to get a heavy workload barring an injury to Eddie Lacy. As much as the team blows out their opponents, however, there is the potential for him to get some fourth-quarter carries in addition to providing a breather for Lacy.

15.10 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

With the injuries to the team's top receivers, Sanu had the best season of his career with 56 catches for 790 yards and five touchdowns. As the team's No. 3 receiver, it will likely take more injuries for him to repeat that production.

15.11 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Heath Miller, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

Miller parlayed 91 targets last season into a 66/761/3 stat line, which was good for the 11th-most fantasy points among tight ends in 2014. While he only has four touchdowns in 30 games over the past two seasons, he's one of 10 tight ends I have projected for 60-plus catches in 2015.

15.12 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Sam Bradford, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

In five NFL seasons since being drafted first overall by the Rams, Bradford has played a total of 49 games -- and only seven of 32 games in the past two years. If, a big if, Bradford starts 16 games for the Eagles, however, he has the potential to finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in 2015. The duo of Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez combined to throw 4,581 yards, 27 touchdowns and 21 interceptions last season and score 258.74 fantasy points, which would have placed them 14th among quarterbacks last year.
