Fantasy Football Mock Draft Recap, Roster Evaluation

  • QB: Joe Burrow
  • RB: D’Andre Swift
  • RB: J.K. Dobbins
  • WR: Robert Woods
  • WR: Courtland Sutton
  • FLEX: Brandon Aiyuk
  • TE: Travis Kelce
  • K: Justin Tucker
  • D/ST: Miami Dolphins
  • Bench: Curtis Samuel
  • Bench: Javonte Williams
  • Bench: Devin Singletary
  • Bench: Tevin Coleman
  • Bench: Rashod Bateman
  • Bench: Chuba Hubbard
  • Bench: John Brown

My big takeway from this roster from this fantasy football mock draft is that we’re looking at a high-ceiling, low-floor type of team. If D’Andre Swift and J.K. Dobbins both take on more consistent and larger roles in their respective offenses, this team could very well compete for a championship, especially if Javonte Williams and Joe Burrow can build on some offseason hype.

With that said, I’m confident in the floor of this group while I admit that there is plenty of variance that could prove me wrong. Woods has been a long-time underrated receiver and now upgraded at quarterback with Stafford. Sutton and Aiyuk will demand plenty of touches in their own offenses as well.

All told, the crux of this roster’s success will come down to Burrow taking a step forward in year two while the young running backs also step up. Even then, this is a strong lineup after starting with Kelce in the first round.
