The community has overcorrected, as a player as good as Nick Chubb should not be available midway through the second round. The running back was the RB6 in PPR leagues last year and has arguably the best situation of his career. Deshaun Watson should be an upgrade on Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett, and Kareem Hunt is no longer around to steal passing work. The sky is the limit for Nick Chubb, and as long as he stays healthy, he should be able to replicate his top-six finish in 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>Third Round<\/h3>\n<p>3.01 &#8211; Mark Andrews<br \/>\n3.02 &#8211; Breece Hall<br \/>\n3.03 &#8211; Rhamondre Stevenson<br \/>\n3.04 &#8211; D.K.

The former first-round pick is a star in the making, finishing 2022 as PFF\u2019s WR19 with a 23.5% target share, 32.5% air yard share, and 2.09 yards per route run. With a more aggressive Brock Purdy (presumably) under center, Aiyuk is in prime position to break out in 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>Seventh Round<\/h3>\n<p>7.01 &#8211; Marquise Brown<br \/>\n7.02 &#8211; Rachaad White<br \/>\n7.03 &#8211; Jaxon Smith-Njigba<br \/>\n7.04 &#8211; Mike Evans<br \/>\n7.05 &#8211; Isiah Pacheco<br \/>\n<strong>7.06 &#8211; Pat Freiermuth<\/strong><br \/>\n7.07 &#8211; George Pickens<br \/>\n7.08 &#8211; David Montgomery<br \/>\n7.09 &#8211; Christian Kirk<br \/>\n7.10 &#8211; Jordan Addison<br \/>\n7.11 &#8211; James Cook<br \/>\n7.12 &#8211; A.J. Dillon<\/p>\n<p>Outside of quarterback, tight ends might have the hardest adjustment from the college game to the pros. So, with this in mind, it\u2019s pretty impressive that Pat Freiermuth has recorded 123 receptions for 1,229 yards and nine touchdowns through his first two years in the league while working with a washed-up Ben Roethlisberger and a rookie Kenny Pickett. Freiermuth should be even better in 2023 and could establish himself as one of the few useful fantasy football tight ends if Pickett takes the Year 2 leap.<\/p>\n<h3>Eighth Round<\/h3>\n<p>8.01 &#8211; Treylon Burks<br \/>\n8.02 &#8211; Darren Waller<br \/>\n8.03 &#8211; Antonio Gibson<br \/>\n8.04 &#8211; Jahan Dotson<br \/>\n8.05 &#8211; Kadarius Toney<br \/>\n8.06 &#8211; Michael Thomas<br \/>\n<strong>8.07 &#8211; Dak Prescott<\/strong><br \/>\n8.08 &#8211; Anthony Richardson<br \/>\n8.09 &#8211; David Njoku<br \/>\n8.10 &#8211; Quentin Johnston<br \/>\n8.11 &#8211; Brandin Cooks<br \/>\n8.12 &#8211; Brian Robinson<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re buying low on Dak Prescott in this fantasy football mock draft. The Cowboys passer led the league in interceptions last year, but breaking down the tape shows that a good chunk of those turnovers were not his fault. He\u2019s still the same top-10 quarterback he\u2019s always been, and now he has Brandin Cooks and a healthy Michael Gallup to complement superstar CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dak Prescott, the number 1 QB in the NFC. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sa0HuBHWIT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/sa0HuBHWIT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ernie The Cowboys Fan (@E_TheCowboysFan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/E_TheCowboysFan\/status\/1678219099594162177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Ninth Round<\/h3>\n<p>9.01 &#8211; Gabriel Davis<br \/>\n9.02 &#8211; Evan Engram<br \/>\n9.03 &#8211; Zay Flowers<br \/>\n9.04 &#8211; Deshaun Watson<br \/>\n9.05 &#8211; Zach Charbonnet<br \/>\n<strong>9.06 &#8211; Rashaad Penny<\/strong><br \/>\n9.07 &#8211; Tua Tagovailoa<br \/>\n9.08 &#8211; Juju Smith-Schuster<br \/>\n9.09 &#8211; Kirk Cousins<br \/>\n9.10 &#8211; Dalton Schultz<br \/>\n9.11 &#8211; Jamaal Williams<br \/>\n9.12 &#8211; Damien Harris<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Andre Swift might be the bigger name, but I\u2019m performing this fantasy football mock draft under the impression that Rashaad Penny will be the starter as long as he\u2019s healthy. The former first-round pick was one of the most efficient running backs in the league for Seattle, and he could destroy worlds running alongside Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia\u2019s elite offensive line.<\/p>\n<h3>10th Round<\/h3>\n<p>10.01 &#8211; Courtland Sutton<br \/>\n10.02 &#8211; Samaje Perine<br \/>\n10.03 &#8211; Devon Achane<br \/>\n10.04 &#8211; Khalil Herbert<br \/>\n10.05 &#8211; Rashod Bateman<br \/>\n10.06 &#8211; Cole Kmet<br \/>\n<strong>10.07 &#8211; Odell Beckham<\/strong><br \/>\n10.08 &#8211; Elijah Moore<br \/>\n10.09 &#8211; Geno Smith<br \/>\n10.10 &#8211; Javonte Williams<br \/>\n10.11 &#8211; Aaron Rodgers<br \/>\n10.12 &#8211; Dalton Kincaid<\/p>\n<p>By the time you get to the 10th round in the fantasy football mock draft, just about every player selected is far more likely to fail than to succeed. So, with that in mind, you might as well swing for the fences and select someone with a high ceiling. Odell Beckham has a wide range of outcomes in 2023, but if he can play like his 2021 self, then he will be a steal this late in the draft.<\/p>\n<h3>11th Round<\/h3>\n<p>11.01 &#8211; Allen Lazard<br \/>\n11.02 &#8211; Chigoziem Okonkwo<br \/>\n11.03 &#8211; Jerick McKinnon<br \/>\n11.04 &#8211; Elijah Mitchell<br \/>\n11.05 &#8211; Daniel Jones<br \/>\n<strong>11.06 &#8211; Kendre Miller<\/strong><br \/>\n11.07 &#8211; Adam Thielen<br \/>\n11.08 &#8211; Tyler Higbee<br \/>\n11.09 &#8211; Russell Wilson<br \/>\n11.10 &#8211; Jakobi Meyers<br \/>\n11.11 &#8211; Jared Goff<br \/>\n11.12 &#8211; Tyler Allgeier<\/p>\n<p>Alvin Kamara will probably serve a lengthy suspension at some point in 2023, which means that Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller will be battling for the starting job.

The veteran proved over the past two seasons that he can handle a high early-down workload, and his aggressive style of running should pair well with Justin Fields as his quarterback.

However, if the former third-round pick isn\u2019t up for the job, then Ty Chandler is next in line. Chandler isn\u2019t exactly the second-coming of Barry Sanders, but he has a clear path to touches, and that\u2019s enough to justify the final pick in this fantasy football mock draft.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Dale Zanine &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This fantasy football mock draft sees two running backs early and a lot of wide receivers in the middle rounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":142642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[9548,8995,349,3584],"class_list":["post-142635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-bijan-robinson","tag-chris-olave","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-nick-chubb"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
