Fantasy: 12-team mock draft 2.0

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Get ready for your season with theScore's 2016 Fantasy Football Draft Kit.

This is a standard (non-PPR) scoring league with the following roster spots: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, DEF, K, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN.

Draft Participants: Michael McClymont, Gino Bottero, James Bisson, Josh Ghatak, Jason Wilson, Andrew Potter, Esten McLaren, Josh Wegman, Dan Wilkins, Ken Conrad, David Woods, Justin Boone.

Round 1

Pick Player Owner
1 Antonio Brown (WR1) McClymont
2 Julio Jones (WR2) Bottero
3 Todd Gurley (RB1) Bisson
4 Odell Beckham (WR3) Ghatak
5 David Johnson (RB2) Wilson
6 DeAndre Hopkins (WR4) Potter
7 Lamar Miller (RB3) McLaren
8 Ezekiel Elliott (RB4) Wegman
9 Adrian Peterson (RB5) Wilkins
10 Dez Bryant (WR5) Conrad
11 A.J. Green (WR6) Woods
12 Allen Robinson (WR7) Boone

Round 1: This was an email draft that took place over the last week, so Tony Romo's injury happened well after our first round was over. Bryant will likely fall to the second round with the news Romo will miss at least half the season.

Round 2

Pick Player Owner
13 Brandon Marshall (WR8) Boone
14 Jamaal Charles (RB6) Woods
15 Devonta Freeman (RB7) Conrad
16 Rob Gronkowski (TE1) Wilkins
17 Le'Veon Bell (RB8) Wegman
18 Jordy Nelson (WR9) McLaren
19 Brandin Cooks (WR10) Potter
20 Mark Ingram (RB9) Wilson
21 LeSean McCoy (RB10) Ghatak
22 Mike Evans (WR11) Bisson
23 Doug Martin (RB11) Bottero
24 Alshon Jeffery (WR12) McClymont

Round 2: Team Wegman takes a bit of a risk on Bell early in the second round, giving him Elliott and Bell as the cornerstones of his team. He might have the two best fantasy backs once Week 4 rolls around ... It would be nice to see Nelson in some preseason action. Owners are going to have to close their eyes and jump in the second round if they want him on their teams this year.

Round 3

Pick Player Owner
25 Eddie Lacy (RB12) McClymont
26 Keenan Allen (WR13) Bottero
27 T.Y. Hilton (WR14) Bisson
28 Amari Cooper (WR15) Ghatak
29 Sammy Watkins (WR16) Wilson
30 Demaryius Thomas (WR17) Potter
31 C.J. Anderson (RB13) McLaren
32 Kelvin Benjamin (WR18) Wegman
33 Randall Cobb (WR19) Wilkins
34 DeMarco Murray (RB14) Conrad
35 Thomas Rawls (RB15) Woods
36 Jeremy Maclin (WR20) Boone

Round 3: Keenan Allen falls to the third round, where he's a nice value for Team Bottero. The Chargers' top receiver has top-seven upside ... With a strong preseason, Murray has played his way into this round ... Since he's yet to suit up this season, Rawls is a dangerous pick in the third. We don't know much about his recovery from ankle surgery, and his backup Christine Michael has been lights out in August. If Rawls isn't able to hit the ground running, this could turn into a dreaded RBBC.

Round 4

Pick Player Owner
37 Jordan Reed (TE2) Boone
38 Doug Baldwin (WR21) Woods
39 Julian Edelman (WR22) Conrad
40 Latavius Murray (RB16) Wilkins
41 Matt Forte (RB17) Wegman
42 Donte Moncrief (WR23) McLaren
43 Jeremy Langford (RB18) Potter
44 Jarvis Landry (WR24) Wilson
45 Jonathan Stewart (RB19) Ghatak
46 Carlos Hyde (RB20) Bisson
47 Eric Decker (WR25) Bottero
48 Michael Floyd (WR26) McClymont

Round 4: Reed in the fourth round is an automatic selection. I own several shares in Reed, so let's hope he can avoid the one thing that's plagued his career - injuries ... Floyd's star might be a little brighter with Larry Fitzgerald dealing with a knee issue, and John Brown being held out with concussion symptoms.

Round 5

Pick Player Owner
49 Jeremy Hill (RB21) McClymont
50 Aaron Rodgers (QB1) Bottero
51 Golden Tate (WR27) Bisson
52 Arian Foster (RB22) Ghatak
53 Cam Newton (QB2) Wilson
54 Melvin Gordon (RB23) Potter
55 John Brown (WR28) McLaren
56 Larry Fitzgerald (WR29) Wegman
57 Marvin Jones (WR30) Wilkins
58 Emmanuel Sanders (WR31) Conrad
59 Duke Johnson (RB24) Woods
60 Dion Lewis (RB25) Boone

Round 5: Team McClymont is off to one of the strongest starts with Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffery, Michael Floyd, Eddie Lacy, and Jeremy Hill ... Marvin Jones will be far more valuable than the 30th wide receiver off the board. He's going to be a league-winner if his ADP doesn't change ... As I mentioned earlier, our draft started at the beginning of the week, prior to news breaking about Lewis missing half the season and maybe more. I normally load up on running backs anyway in the later rounds, so now I'll face more pressure to hit on one of those lottery tickets.

Round 6

Pick Player Owner
61 Frank Gore (RB26) Boone
62 Tyler Lockett (WR32) Woods
63 Greg Olsen (TE3) Conrad
64 Matt Jones (RB27) Wilkins
65 DeVante Parker (WR33) Wegman
66 Andrew Luck (QB3) McLaren
67 Russell Wilson (QB4) Potter
68 Josh Gordon (WR34) Wilson
69 Allen Hurns (WR35) Ghatak
70 Rashad Jennings (RB28) Bisson
71 Ryan Mathews (RB29) Bottero
72 Kamar Aiken (WR36) McClymont

Round 6: Gore has the ability to still be a fantasy starter, but the Colts' line has looked terrible throughout the preseason. It could be a serious problem for their running game especially ... Gordon didn't need much time to remind us all of his next-level playmaking skills. Two catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in one half of football is exactly what we were hoping for from Gordon. It's the kind of performance that will fire his price up a round or two in drafts.

Round 7

Pick Player Owner
73 Jay Ajayi (RB30) McClymont
74 Chris Ivory (RB31) Bottero
75 Drew Brees (QB5) Bisson
76 Delanie Walker (TE4) Ghatak
77 Sterling Shepard (WR37) Wilson
78 Coby Fleener (TE5) Potter
79 Kevin White (WR38) McLaren
80 DeSean Jackson (WR39) Wegman
81 Jordan Matthews (WR40) Wilkins
82 T.J. Yeldon (RB32) Conrad
83 Travis Kelce (TE6) Woods
84 Gio Bernard (RB33) Boone

Round 7: Securing Travis Kelce was a great pick for Team Woods, and prevented me from suffering regret after drafting Reed in the fourth ... I normally don't advocate taking an early QB, but Team Wilson is building a solid squad through seven rounds with Cam Newton, David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Sammy Watkins, Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon, and Sterling Shepard. If Gordon hits, he's going to have a dominant team.

Round 8

Pick Player Owner
85 DeAngelo Willimas (RB34) Boone
86 Ameer Abdullah (RB35) Woods
87 Markus Wheaton (WR41) Conrad
88 Michael Crabtree (WR42) Wilkins
89 LeGarrette Blount (RB36) Wegman
90 Michael Thomas (WR43) McLaren
91 Danny Woodhead (RB37) Potter
92 Derrick Henry (RB38) Wilson
83 Torrey Smith (WR44) Ghatak
94 Julius Thomas (TE7) Bisson
95 Willie Snead (WR45) Bottero
96 Justin Forsett (RB39) McClymont

Round 8: My hunt for running backs has begun, as news of the Lewis injury came down. After grabbing the underrated Gio Bernard last round, I add DeAngelo Williams to the mix. Having Williams on the roster assures me a RB1 for the first three weeks of the season, buying me time to solve my RB situation.

Round 9

Pick Player Owner
97 Corey Coleman (WR46) McClymont
98 Gary Barnidge (TE8) Bottero
99 Stefon Diggs (WR47) Bisson
100 Ben Roethlisberger (QB6) Ghatak
101 Devin Funchess (WR48) Wilson
102 Charles Sims (RB40) Potter
103 Isaiah Crowell (RB41) McLaren
104 Jimmy Graham (TE9) Wegman
105 Tevin Coleman (RB42) Wilkins
106 Travis Benjamin (WR49) Conrad
107 Carson Palmer (QB7) Woods
108 Bilal Powell (RB43) Boone

Round 9: We might be undervaluing Diggs at this point. Everyone was ready to hand the Vikings' No. 1 job to rookie Laquon Treadwell, but he wasn't ready for it, and Diggs appears to be Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target ... Team Woods plays the QB position to perfection, waiting until someone falls and snatching them up. In this case, he gets Palmer for far less than he's going to be worth by season's end.

Round 10

Pick Player Owner
109 Christine Michael (RB44) Boone
110 Phillip Dorsett (WR50) Woods
111 DeAndre Washington (RB45) Conrad
112 Philip Rivers (QB8) Wilkins
113 Devontae Booker (RB46) Wegman
114 Tavon Austin (WR51) McLaren
115 Steve Smith (WR52) Potter
116 Antonio Gates (TE10) Wilson
117 Spencer Ware (RB47) Ghatak
118 Vincent Jackson (WR53) Bisson
119 Tajae Sharpe (WR54) Bottero
120 James Starks (RB48) McClymont

Round 10: If it turns out Rawls isn't ready for Week 1, Michael will get the start. With the way the coaching staff is talking up Michael, it's also possible he cuts into Rawls' workload moving forward ... It's happening. Rookie Tajae Sharpe is climbing draft boards. Whether the hype in fantasy is warranted remains to be seen, but he's definitely carved out a role in the Titans' offense ... Every RB taken in this round is worth drafting as a late-round flier - Michael, Washington, Booker, Ware, and Starks.

Round 11

Pick Player Owner
121 Tyler Eifert (TE11) McClymont
122 Theo Riddick (RB49) Bottero
123 James White (RB50) Bisson
124 Ted Ginn Jr. (WR55) Ghatak
125 Jerick McKinnon (RB51) Wilson
126 Tyler Boyd (WR56) Potter
127 Malcolm Mitchell (WR57) McLaren
128 Eli Manning (QB9) Wegman
129 Rishard Matthews (WR58) Wilkins
130 Tom Brady (QB10) Conrad
131 Jordan Howard (RB52) Woods
132 Blake Bortles (QB11) Boone

Round 11: Manning, Brady, and Bortles stick around way longer than normal, rewarding Team Legman, Team Conrad, and I for being patient. The hate on Bortles might have gone too far. Regression is coming, but he's still surrounded by some of the best weapons in the league ... I was hoping White would fall to me, but Team Bisson scoops him up earlier in the round. Sometimes you can be a little too patient, I guess.

Round 12

Pick Player Owner
133 Chris Thompson (RB53) Boone
134 Chris Johnson (RB54) Woods
135 Tyrod Taylor (QB12) Conrad
136 Will Fuller (WR59) Wilkins
137 Mike Wallace (WR60) Wegman
138 Martellus Bennett (TE12) McLaren
139 Arizona Cardinals (DEF1) Potter
140 Seattle Seahawks (DEF2) Wilson
141 Carolina Panthers (DEF3) Ghatak
142 Darren Sproles (RB55) Bisson
143 Houston Texans (DEF4) Bottero
144 Derek Carr (QB13) McClymont

Round 12: Fuller has the kind of speed that will get him on the highlights every few weeks, but playing with Brock Osweiler, the rookie isn't going to bring the consistency you need to start him in a re-draft league ... Tyrod Taylor might not get the Bills back to the playoffs this season, but he will propel your fantasy team to the postseason.

Round 13

Pick Player Owner
145 Denver Broncos (DEF5) McClymont
146 Stephen Gostkowski (K1) Bottero
147 Kansas City Chiefs (DEF6) Bisson
148 Eric Ebron (TE13) Ghatak
149 Terrance Williams (WR61) Wilson
150 Charcandrick West (RB56) Potter
151 Philadelphia Eagles (DEF7) McLaren
152 Oakland Raiders (DEF8) Wegman
153 Minnesota Vikings (DEF9) Wilkins
154 Los Angeles Rams (DEF10) Conrad
155 New England Patriots (DEF11) Woods
156 Cincinnati Bengals (DEF12) Boone

Round 14

Pick Player Owner
157 Steven Hauschka (K2) Boone
158 Graham Gano (K3) Woods
159 Justin Tucker (K4) Conrad
160 Mason Crosby (K5) Wilkins
161 Dan Bailey (K6) Wegman
162 Adam Vinatieri (K7) McLaren
163 Brandon McManus (K8) Potter
164 Chris Boswell (K9) Wilson
165 Chandler Catanzaro (K10) Ghatak
166 Cairo Santos (K11) Bisson
167 Keith Marshall (RB57) Bottero
168 Sebastian Janikowski (K12) McClymont
