Fantasy Football Mock: Round 2

20. Randy Moss, WR - NE. No Revis (so far) is good news for Moss, who is entering his 12th NFL season. At 34, Welker's presence and a fully healthy Brady will help the veteran flourish in New England once again.

19. DeAngelo Williams, RB - CAR. DeAngelo is being taken as high as 10th in a lot of leagues, and his magical 2008 is certainly evidence that he can prove worthy of that high a selection. Jonathan Stewart's presence in Carolina limits DeAngelo's value at the same time that it makes him a safe pick late in the second round. He'll have less yards and TD's, but will also take fewer hits and should therefore come in at around 1,100 yards and 10 TDs again this year.

18. Rashard Mendenhall, RB - PIT. Mendenhall is the last of the feature backs to be taken, and is a steal if he's still available at 18th overall. The lasting image of Ray Lewis breaking Mendenhall's shoulder on one of his first NFL carries in 2008 is the reason he still feels like a risk, but his 1,100+ yard performance last year has me believing enough to take him late in Round 2.

17. Tom Brady, QB - NE. Brady could be the top pointgetter in all of fantasy this year. Wes Welker has made a ridiculously fast recovery from ACL surgery and he's just two years removed from a 50 TD season. I'd take Tom and the TD's he throws to the entire Pats receiving corps over Randy Moss.

16. Brandon Marshall, WR - MIA. Brandon's 101-catch 2009 season with Kyle Orton proves that he can produce huge games regardless of who is at the helm. He may not get as many grabs in Miami's run-oriented system, but that should create big play opportunities down the field. Every team passed on "The Beast" three times when he was finally drafted by Denver 119th overall in 2006. After battling with management, he was traded for 2nd Round picks in 2010 and 2011. For a guy with a big chip on his shoulder since day one, he has even more to prove this season.

15. Calvin Johnson, WR - DET. Calvin enters his fourth year looking to take that big leap forward and it finally seems possible. With Matthew Stafford leading the Lions' youngsters Jahvid Best, Kevin Smith and Brandon Pettigrew, their offense should be much improved.

14. Ryan Grant, RB - GB. Grant has been extremely productive in his 3 years as the lead back in Green Bay. Not bad for a player who went undrafted out of Notre Dame. Take the sturdy back as a sure bet to be in on a lot of offense this year.

13. Steven Jackson, RB - STL. Steven Jackson might be the best running back in the league. It's a shame he's in St. Louis, where the Rams are forced to throw way too early way too often.

12. Ryan Mathews, RB - SD. OK, I'll bite. Some rankings have the Fresno State product as high as #8 overall. While I'm not ready to take the rookie ahead of sure bets Rodgers, Brees and Manning, his feature-back status in San Diego, and the incredible immediate success of small-school studs Marshall Faulk and LT has me believing.

11. Larry Fitzgerald, WR - AZ. With D.A. now officially the "A-number one hotshot" in the desert, Fitzy is looking at "heavy wehk." But he is up to it. He's a go-up-and-get-it guy. He's the best of 'em.
