Fantasy Football Mock: Round 4


40. Matt Forte, RB - CHI. Forte went as high as 5th overall last season. Mike Martz and the offensive optimism he brings to Chicago is enough for me to gamble on Matt.

39. Knowshon Moreno, RB - DEN. A preseason off is nothing new for Knowshon, and should be no concern for fantasy owners. The most talented of Denver's tailbacks has the upside to be the highest pointgetter taken this round.

38. Dallas Clark, TE - IND. If you're in a PPR, take Dallas ahead of Gates. 100 catches by a TE last year was not something he's likely to repeat in 2010, but his games of 183 yards, 14 receptions and 3 TDs carried his owners on three different weeks last year, in addition to being extremely consistent the rest of the year. He's Peyton Manning's outlet, inlet, islet and piglet. Draft with confidence.

37. Antonio Gates, TE - SD. Totally healthy heading into 2010, and with one fewer target for Phil Rivers, Gates is one of the few tight ends that will produce like a wideout this season. Antonio has played nicked up for the better part of two seasons and has still managed to stay in fantasy lineups. Reap the benefits of a charged up Gates.

36. Jonathan Stewart, RB - CAR. The Daily Show was on in prime time last season. DeAngelo's stunt double was huge for fantasy owners gaining 200 yards and two scores Week 16 at the Giants, and his totals for the season basically match up with Williams. In the run-first Carolina system, there is room for both backs to reach single-back statlines.

35. DeSean Jackson, WR - PHI. DeSean may be the fastest player in the league. As a speed guy he'll be relying on his QB's accuracy more than some of the bigger receivers taken earlier, but if Kevin Kolb's aim is true he'll have monster games and score with the big boys.

34. Matt Schaub, QB - HOU. After Rodgers, Brees, Peyton, Brady, Rivers and Romo, there is Schaub. Throwing to Andre Johnson, he can score with any of them. If you are the type of owner that likes to feel absolutely comfortable with your QB every week, Schaub respresents one of your last chances to get one.

33. Anquan Boldin, WR - BAL. Boldin will be a dream come true for Joe Flacco. And vice-versa. With Anquan in the mix, everyone in Baltimore instantly gets more room to operate. This is an offense to get a piece of this year.

32. Steve Smith, WR - CAR. Jake Delhomme's poor performances early and his own broken arm late cost Smith his fifth straight 1000-yard year. That's remarkable consistency for a player as explosive as Smith both on and off the field. He clicked with Matt Moore last season and is the primary target in the Panthers' passing game.

31. LeSean McCoy, RB - PHI. Will LeSean and Kevin fit into Brian and Donovan's shoes? If you don't have a running back at this point, draft McCoy and get the better of the two heir apparents in Philly.
