Two Panthers Land in Fabiano's 10-Round Fantasy Mock Draft

Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated fantasy football analyst Michael Fabiano released a 10-round fantasy mock draft. Yes, NFL mock draft season may be behind us but fantasy mock draft season is just getting underway. 

In this mock, Fabiano included a pair of Panthers, both of whom are newcomers to the organization.

Note from Fabs: "This mock includes 12 fantasy “teams” and is based on a PPR scoring system. Each team used different “strategies” with their first three overall picks so you can see how the roster is built at the top. Notice, wideouts have passed runners in volume."

RB Miles Sanders: Round 5, Pick 59

Last season with the Philadelphia Eagles, Sanders had his best year rushing the football going for 1,269 yards and 11 scores while averaging 11.6 fantasy points per game. He reunites with Duce Staley, who was his position coach at the start of his career, and with Carolina's strong offensive line and a rookie QB under center, Sanders should have a lot of volume and production.

WR Adam Thielen: Round 10, Pick 112

Thielen is no longer in his prime but he is still a reliable receiver and will be a security blanket of sorts in the slot for Bryce Young. Over the last three years, Thielen is averaging 70.3 receptions, 789 yards, and ten touchdowns per season.
