2009 Fantasy Football Mock Draft In June
Round One 1.01 – Adrian Peterson
There is no question here. AP can score 18+ touchdowns during any given season. If you have the No. 1 pick in any format, don’t hesitate taking Peterson.
1.02 – Maurice Jones-Drew
If healthy, double-digit scores and 60-70 receptions almost feels like a lock. Hopefully the little guy can stay healthy with a heavier workload, but his smaller-type frame is a unique one… one that we believe can hold up on 240-250 carries.
1.03 – Michael Turner
FFX was one of the only fantasy football informational sites out there that had this guy pegged as a top 5-10 fantasy back heading into 2008 – The exact article title is: Turner To Be A Top 10RB? Expect more of the same this year!
1.04 – Steven Jackson
Health is always a concern with S-Jax, but the 25 year-old can be a top 2-3 overall player during any given season. With a much improved offensive line, and with Donnie Avery about to breakout, Jackson is primed for a monster season.
1.05 – Matt Forte
A top 4 ranking can be argued heading into 2009. Forte is the real deal and the addition of Jay Cutler might only make Forte more dangerous!
1.06 -Frank Gore
Many have this guy ranked as low as top 12-15 overall — Use ADPs to your advantage heading into your August drafts, because this rusher is still a top 5-8 fantasy talent, we don’t care what anyone says.
1.07 – Chris Johnson
While we’re a bit skeptical about his long-term value given his smaller-type frame, he is without question a top 10 overall pick entering 2009. Again, this is a redraft mock, but it’s worth mentioning that Johnson is a great sell-high player in dynasty formats.
1.08 – DeAngelo Williams
It just feels wrong to rank him this low after a 20TD season, but Jonathan Stewart makes it tough to slot Williams any higher than this. Was 2008 a fluke? Only time will tell, but after that 2008 campaign, D-Will has to be a top 8-12 pick. Just be sure to draft Stewart at almost any cost if you plan to roll with Williams as your first player taken.
1.09 -LaDainian Tomlinson
While many are doubting LT2 entering 2009, we suggest that fantasy owners take full advantage! Even with the 30 Years-Old RB Theory hanging over his head, LT2 has another top 10RB season left in the tank. Potential steal of the draft!
1.10 – Randy Moss
With Tom Brady back in 2009, we expect another 15+ touchdown season out of Randy. What has changed? Nothing! It’s back to business as usual in New England. As you will read later, Brady is the real bargain this year!
1.11 – Larry Fitzgerald
It was tough slotting Fitzgerald below Moss at first glance, but given that Fitz is still inside our top 12 overall, clearly we’re giving him insane respect. Moss is the home run and Fitz appears to be a safe top five lock at his position.
1.12 – Andre Johnson
Again, it can be argued that Johnson deserves to be the first receiver taken on draft day, but his injury history has us slotting him in the third spot. He is still in our top 12-14 in all formats. This is the first season we have ever ranked three receivers inside the top 12 overall.
