Round 12: Darren Waller
Darren Waller finished 2019 with more targets AND receptions than Chris Godwin, Tyler Lockett, Mike Evans, Kenny Golladay, Tyreek Hill, George Kittle, Hunter Henry, D.J. Chark & so many more.

Can Waller repeat his breakout season?
I had to draft a tight end at some point. Admittedly, I am pleasantly surprised that Darren Waller is still available this late in the draft. As I previously mentioned, every fantasy draft has a life of its own. Selecting Waller this late as my first tight end is golden.
Waller came out of nowhere last season to produce top-3 T.E. numbers in 2019. He led the team in several stats, including targets (117), receptions (90), and receiving yards (1,145). He was Derek Carr’s go-to player and comes into the 2020 season as a top 10 tight end in our 2020 Dynasty Superflex Rankings.
Waller was the centerpiece of the Raiders’ passing game last season, and that should stay true in 2020 despite the Raiders adding first-round pick Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards in the 2020 NFL Draft. He could see fewer targets in Las Vegas’ new offense, but the field should open up for Waller to serve various roles.
Waller’s fantasy analysis
The addition of the rookie receivers should rejuvenate the passing game along with the signing of veteran tight end Jason Witten. The former long-time Cowboy is 38 but was still able to produce 63 passes for 529 yards and four touchdowns last season. The likelihood of Witten achieving close to those numbers this season is slim and none. The Raiders also have Foster Moreau in their tight end room. Shockingly, he was second on the team in receiving touchdowns last year with five.
Las Vegas needs Waller to prove that 2019 was not a one-season fluke by producing similar numbers to last season. There may seem to be more mouths to feed, but Waller has excellent chemistry with Carr, and they should continue to build upon that.
Round 13: Dallas Goedert
Using Fantasy Pros' rankings, I'll pick my most underrated player at each position.
QB – Gardner Minshew, 23
RB – Chase Edmonds, 53
WR – Brandin Cooks, 38
TE – Dallas Goedert, 16 https://t.co/9SvmgARvip— Bryn Swartz (@eaglescentral)
I continue my love for Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert in drafting him here as I did in my 2020 Dynasty Superflex Mock Draft from the 12th pick.
Goedert is a top-ten tight end, and selecting him here at a discounted value is a huge win for my dynasty roster. The Eagles love two tight end sets and who can blame them with Goedert teaming up with Zach Ertz.
Goedert’s fantasy analysis
Goedert is a low-risk tight end who is not the backup but the 1B to Ertz in the Eagles offense. He scored one less touchdown than Ertz last season, and if Ertz were forced to miss time, Goedert would jump into the top-three tight ends.
Goedert was fantasy’s overall TE10 last season, finishing with 58 catches for 607 yards and five touchdowns. Philadelphia added more receiving options for Carson Wentz in the passing game, and DeSean Jackson, along with Alshon Jeffery, looks to be back on the field in 2020.
Regardless, Wentz loves throwing to his tight ends, and Goedert will remain a low-end TE1 with tremendous upside.
Round 14: Michael Pittman Jr.
‘Michael Pittman Jr. Fantasy Profile’
Here’s my latest for @GridironExperts breaking down the next Colts WR, Michael Pittman Jr. #Colts #FantasyFootball #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2020 #DynastyFootball @MyFantasyLeague https://t.co/7kKpuAk4gL
— Aaron Schill (@aaron_schill)
The Indianapolis Colts were looking to add offensive playmakers in the 2020 NFL Draft, and they did that by selecting USC’s WR Michael Pittman Jr. in the second round.
Pittman is a big-bodied receiver at 6’4″ and 223 pounds that dominated in his senior season. Despite working with freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis, Pittman totaled 101 receptions for 1,275 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Trojans. Pittman is an NFL-ready receiver, and the blend of his mentality, leaping ability, and arm length makes his high-point ability work.
Pittman’s fantasy analysis
The addition of veteran signal-caller Philip Rivers to this Colts offense should significantly upgrade their passing game. Indianapolis ranked 30th in the league in the passing yards per game with 194.2 yards. The Colts are a run-first team, but they were forced to be with the inept Jacoby Brissett behind center last season.
Pittman projects as a possession receiver and elite red-zone threat, both currently missing in the Colts offense. T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell are both speedsters who can break a big play on any touch.
I project Pittman to start opposite Hilton with Campbell in the slot while using his leaping ability and reliable hands to win plenty of contested catches. Rivers loves big-bodied receivers as his history with Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams has proven.
