Fantasy Football Mock: Round 7


70. Joseph Addai, RB - IND. Addai just barely crossed 1,000 yards in his first two seasons, and just barely crossed that number in the past two seasons combined. His saving grace should be his receiving skills, but it was his 10 TD not his 336 receiving yards that saved his owners from a total bust last year. Donald Brown isn't Ray Rice, but he's a more conventional back than Addai and should be more involved in the offense, including at the stripe. Hopefully Addai has been drafted by this point.

69. Pierre Garcon, WR - IND. Even though teammates Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Joseph Addai get taken well ahead of him, Pierre has the most game-breaking ability on the Colts. Pierre should slot in as the Colts #2 wideout, making him Peyton's #3 target with a chance for some really big plays.

68. Mike Wallace, WR - PIT. The guy plays 60 minutes. He's the speed threat in Pittsburgh's attack, and they're not as run-first as they used to be in the Steel City.

67. Matt Ryan, QB - ATL. The last of the sure-bet QBs. After Ryan goes off the board, you're looking at Palmer, Kolb, and Eli in the next tier. Matt is a cut above.

66. Dez Bryant, WR - DAL. The rookie should join Witten and Austin as another of Romo's favorite targets. The Cowboys will bring a big air attack again this year, and if Dez plays anywhere near his potential he'll be a rookie worth owning.

65. Michael Crabtree, WR - SF. Even with Frank Gore firmly entrenched as coach Singletary's number one option and Vernon Davis established as Alex Smith's number one, Crabtree will still have fantasy value this year.

64. Donald Driver, WR - GB. A graduate of Hines Ward U, Driver has been the NFC's Mr. Consistency. He's put up six straight 1,000+ seasons, has Aaron Rodgers throwing to him, and has attention-getters Jennings and Finley out there with him. Don't take Donald too early, but if you're shopping wideouts at this point, feel free to go to the well one more time.

63. Pierre Thomas, RB - NO. Thomas had one 100-yard game last year, reached the endzone six times, and owners are taking him with their fifth round pick. Let them do that, or take him if he slips and hope he's not trapped between the 20's again this season.

62. Chad Ochocinco, WR - CIN. Imagine being Carson Palmer and having to keep Chad and T.O. happy. It's too bad they can't throw two passes per play. Or can they??

61. Marion Barber, RB - DAL. MB3 hasn't been the fantasy stud he looked like a few years ago, but he has the potential to get into double-digit touchdowns while tallying 900+ yards along the way. As with almost every other backfield, Marion's value is hampered by his running mate, but gets a megaboost should Felix go down.
