Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team, Half-PPR (2021 Fantasy ...

Nonetheless, Chubb generated some impressive statistics, ranking first in juke rate (37.9%) and second in carries of 15 or more yards (14) while averaging 5.6 YPC and racking up 12 rushing touchdowns.Despite Kareem Hunt (RB – CLE) totaling more carries (198) and targets (51), the Browns signed Chubb to a three-year, $36.6 million deal, meaning he will continue to be fed carries. If Taylor sees an uptick in targets with Wentz, he will finish the season as a top-five fantasy running back.Getting two 1,000 yard rushers who both produced double-digit touchdown totals in 2020 has me excited about the way I chose to construct the foundation of my lineup.Pick 3.11: Mike Evans (WR – TB) If Darnell Mooney (WR – CHI) can create a notable threat opposite Allen Robinson (WR – CHI), and Cole Kmet (TE – CHI) really breaks out in year two, Montgomery will see lighter defensive formations at the line of scrimmage.While my running backs aren’t high target-volume players, they certainly dominate the running game behind elite or improved offensive lines. Joe Burrow’s (QB – CIN) torn ACL tanked Higgins value, as well as the rest of the Bengals’ skilled players in what was ultimately a lost season.The addition of rookie Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN) helps, not hurts, Higgins in regards to the coverage he’ll face, particularly if Zac Taylor opts to continue running 12 personnel, which was where Burrow succeeded the most in 2020. A full offseason with Burrow and the upgraded depth at wide receiver make Higgins a WR3 with WR1 upside, an exciting player to draft as my WR2.Pick 6.02: Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) For these reasons, I had to draft him over other competent wide receivers such as Corey Davis (WR – NYJ) and Robby Anderson (WR – CAR).Pick 8.02: Raheem Mostert (RB – SF) However, when he is healthy, Mostert averages 5.0 YPC and uses elite burst to excel in the zone-run blocking scheme of Shanahan’s hybrid West Coast offense.Trey Lance (QB – SF) is just a rookie still learning the ropes within a complex offense, however, he’s an inevitable starter before the 2021 season ends. If anything Mostert allows me to have a Flex-caliber player while also creating tempting trade material for other teams in the league when injuries inevitably begin to pile up.Pick 9.11: DeVante Parker (WR – MIA) Outside of Travis Kelce (TE – KC), Darren Waller (TE – LVR), and George Kittle (TE – SF), I’m more than willing to build up my running back and wide receiver talent pool and wait for a talented tight end to take near the end of a draft. Bernard saw 59 targets with Cincinnati in 2020 and boasted an impressive 79.7 percent catch rate with three touchdowns.He’s not known for his rushing prowess but Bernard did score three rushing touchdowns on 124 carries for the Bengals last season, so he’s certainly capable of punching in any goal-line carries that he’s fed within one of the league’s best offensive units. Getting a top-five fantasy D/ST is yet another way to give yourself an edge over other managers in your league, as consistent sacks, interceptions, yards allowed,  and points allowed can prove to be the difference in a close matchup.Pick 15.11: Jakobi Meyers (WR – NE) He became Cam Newton’s favorite target in a disastrous passing attack in 2020 but his 72.8 reception percentage was notably higher than Damiere Byrd (WR – CHI), who saw four fewer targets (77) as the Patriots’ second wide receiver.Meyers saw double-digit targets in 14 games, which included three games at the beginning of the 2020 season where he totaled only one target for seven yards. He’s my favorite late-round wideout, valued as the WR68 in half-PPR formats.Pick 16.02: Jason Sanders (K – MIA)
