#	Player	Team	POS.	$	BYE	PROJECTION
1	Jamaal Charles		RB	$60	6	Charles was the top-scoring RB in 2013 by a large margin, but be sure to handcuff him with Knile Davis.
2	LeSean McCoy		RB	$59	7	The debate rages over whether or not McCoy tops Charles in his second season under Chip Kelly.
3	Matt Forte		RB	$55	9	Led all running backs with 74 receptions in '13; 4.6 yards per carry was second-highest in his career.
4	Adrian Peterson		RB	$53	10	Followed up 2K season with 1,266 rushing yards. Needs passing game to develop for more room to run.
5	Calvin Johnson		WR	$50	9	The challenge to his throne is greater than it has been recently, but Megatron is still king of the receivers.
6	Eddie Lacy		RB	$48	9	The top rookie last season should see more action in the passing game during his sophomore year.
7	Jimmy Graham		TE	$38	6	You'll have to spend a late first-round pick in order to get the No. 1 tight end, but he'll be worth it.
8	Demaryius Thomas		WR	$42	4	With Eric Decker now in New York, Thomas is the unquestioned top target in the Denver red zone.
9	Marshawn Lynch		RB	$46	4	After a short holdout, Beast Mode returns for his contract year -- he'll see some touches go to backups.
10	Le'Veon Bell		RB	$45	12	Despite missing start of 2013, Bell finished as one of the most productive running backs as a rookie.
11	Brandon Marshall		WR	$39	9	Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are the NFL's best WR duo, with Marshall still playing the role of top dog.
12	A.J. Green		WR	$38	4	Green has averaged 97.5 catches, 1,388 yards and 11 touchdowns across the last two seasons.
13	Dez Bryant		WR	$38	11	Bryant has averaged 92.5 catches, 1307.5 yards and 12.5 touchdowns across the last two seasons.
14	DeMarco Murray		RB	$42	11	The oft-injured bruiser is in a contract year, so he may see more involvement in the passing game.
15	Montee Ball		RB	$40	4	Ball inherits the starting job with Knowshon Moreno's exit, and could get plenty of room to run in Manning's offense.
16	Arian Foster		RB	$38	10	The former No. 1 fantasy pick has fallen outside of the top 10 following back surgery last season.
17	Julio Jones		WR	$37	9	Jones was averaging 14 fantasy points per game before suffering a season-ending foot injury last year.
18	Giovani Bernard		RB	$36	4	Bernard became Bengals' primary back late last season, and the new offense should feature him prominently.
19	Jordy Nelson		WR	$37	9	Worthy of being elite, Nelson had 49 catches for 810 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games in 2013.
20	Doug Martin		RB	$34	7	Torn labrum ended '13 early, but he returns healthy with a ton of weapons around him -- and a new quarterback.
21	Alshon Jeffery		WR	$34	9	Jeffery broke out with 89 catches for 1,421 yards and seven TDs in '13, and will be deadly with Marshall.
22	Antonio Brown		WR	$33	12	PPR gold in Black and Gold. Brown had 110 receptions for 1,499 yards and eight touchdowns in 2013.
23	Alfred Morris		RB	$32	10	Jay Gruden will feature Morris, but lack of skill in the passing game brings him down a few notches.
24	Peyton Manning		QB	$45	4	A repeat of last year's historic season is unlikely, but Manning doesn't need that to be elite.
25	Randall Cobb		WR	$31	9	Cobb was on a 100-catch, 1,300-yard, eight-touchdown pace before breaking his leg last year.
26	Reggie Bush		RB	$28	9	Bush had the second-best fantasy season of his career in 2013, but he'll share touches with Joique Bell.
27	C.J. Spiller		RB	$26	9	Spiller has never had more than 250 touches in a season, but his contract year could cure what ails him.
28	Andre Ellington		RB	$22	4	Ellington gets starting gig and more touches in 2014 after leading NFL with 5.5 yards per carry in 2013.
29	Rob Gronkowski		TE	$22	10	When he's healthy, Gronkowski can be the best fantasy tight end in the game.
30	Ryan Mathews		RB	$20	10	After a great season, Mathews gets to work under a new offensive coordinator for 2014.
31	Vincent Jackson		WR	$28	7	Jackson keeps on getting it done, and that was all the more impressive last year given the QB play in Tampa.
32	Larry Fitzgerald		WR	$28	4	Slowly but surely ceding No. 1 status to Michael Floyd, but Fitz is still a rock-solid fantasy starter.
33	Aaron Rodgers		QB	$43	9	Consistency, rushing stats and supporting cast make Rodgers a top choice for a fantasy quarterback.
34	Pierre Garcon		WR	$26	10	Garcon was a catch and yardage beast, and now has help from DeSean Jackson. Give him a boost in PPR.
35	Julius Thomas		TE	$18	4	After breaking out last season, Thomas won't be a surprise in Peyton Manning's offense in 2014.
36	Keenan Allen		WR	$24	10	Allen had a sparkling rookie year and returns as Philip Rivers' top target. Beware the lack of a track record.
37	Zac Stacy		RB	$19	4	Stacy had a monster rookie season, but top running back rookie Tre Mason could eat into his carries.
38	Rashad Jennings		RB	$17	8	Should lead the Giants on the ground between the five-yard lines after stints in Oakland and Jacksonville.
39	Drew Brees		QB	$39	6	From 2011 to '13, Brees averaged 5,271 passing yards and 42 TDs. Expect him to approach that again.
40	Andre Johnson		WR	$24	10	Johnson's unhappiness in Houston is about the only thing that could potentially keep him out of the top 20.
41	Wes Welker		WR	$20	4	Emmanuel Sanders could bite into his numbers given their similar skill sets, but Manning will make it work.
42	Victor Cruz		WR	$19	8	In a lost season for the Giants in '13, Cruz still managed 73 catches and 998 yards while missing two games.
43	Shane Vereen		RB	$16	10	Broken wrist killed most of his 2013 season, but entering contract year, he could reach 1,300 total yards.
44	Toby Gerhart		RB	$14	11	Peterson's former backup is ready to step into the spotlight as the undisputed starter in Jacksonville.
45	Michael Crabtree		WR	$17	8	Crabtree brings an element to the SF offense that it lacked most of 2013. Can Kaepernick take advantage?
46	Roddy White		WR	$17	9	After struggling with ankle troubles, White finished with 502 receiving yards and two TDs in five games.
47	DeSean Jackson		WR	$16	10	Jackson won't be the No. 1 in Washington, but he doesn't need a ton of targets to make an impact.
48	Frank Gore		RB	$12	8	Gore continues to play well despite his age, but he could be challenged by rookie Carlos Hyde.
49	Ben Tate		RB	$12	4	Like Gerhart, Tate earns a starting job for the first time, but two rookie backups could steal touches.
50	Joique Bell		RB	$11	9	Getting 250 touches isn't out of the question for Bell as he splits time with Reggie Bush.
51	Chris Johnson		RB	$11	11	Johnson takes his talents to New York. He has played in 93 of a possible 96 regular season games.
52	Kendall Wright		WR	$14	9	If Wright nears 140 targets again this year, expect his touchdowns to increase from the two he had last year.
53	Torrey Smith		WR	$13	11	Smith is underrated because of a fluky lack of touchdowns. Don't let that sway you from grabbing him.
54	Percy Harvin		WR	$11	4	If we knew Harvin would play a full 16 games, he'd probably be ranked 10 slots higher.
55	Jeremy Maclin		WR	$10	7	After missing all of last year with a torn ACL, Maclin returns as the No. 1 receiver in a very potent offense.
56	Michael Floyd		WR	$9	4	Floyd broke out with 1,041 yards and five scores last year. This could be the season he surpasses Larry Fitzgerald.
57	Bishop Sankey		RB	$10	9	Sankey is the lone rookie RB expected to start out of the gate behind an improved O-line in Tennessee.
58	Trent Richardson		RB	$10	10	After a forgettable 2013 season, Richardson looks to be more comfortable in Indianapolis.
59	Julian Edelman		WR	$8	10	Edelman should be higher in PPR leagues, but he will see fewer targets if Gronkowski and Vereen stay healthy.
60	Cordarrelle Patterson		WR	$7	10	There's no doubt Patterson is a dynamic player, but the Vikings need to find someone to get him the ball.
61	Marques Colston		WR	$7	6	Colston looks to be on the downside of his career, but he'll be a WR3 at worst playing with Drew Brees.
62	Stevan Ridley		RB	$8	10	Ridley will work the ground as Vereen handles most passing downs, but he has to fix his fumbling.
63	Vernon Davis		TE	$11	8	No holdout for Davis. Only Graham has averaged more fantasy points over the past three seasons.
64	Mike Wallace		WR	$7	5	Wallace was inconsistent in his first year in Miami, but remains the team's most talented offensive weapon.
65	Reggie Wayne		WR	$7	10	Wayne may be old, but you'd be foolish to bet against a guy whose bust in Canton is already being prepared.
66	Emmanuel Sanders		WR	$7	12	It might be possible to sleepwalk through 16 games as a receiver in Denver and still catch eight TDs.
67	Ray Rice		RB	$8	11	Despite a two-game suspension to start '14, Rice has been one of the best fantasy RBs over past three years.
68	Matthew Stafford		QB	$25	9	If Golden Tate is the second receiver Stafford has always lacked, this could be his best year yet.
69	Steven Jackson		RB	$7	9	Age hasn't been kind to Jackson. He's expected to be ready for the regular season after a hamstring injury.
70	Matt Ryan		QB	$22	9	With Julio Jones and Roddy White healthy, Ryan should bounce back from a disappointing 2013 campaign.
71	T.Y. Hilton		WR	$6	10	In order for Hilton to take the next step among WRs, Andrew Luck needs to do the same among QBs.
72	Pierre Thomas		RB	$6	6	Opportunity is there for Thomas with Sproles gone, but he's now being chased by three young RBs.
73	Eric Decker		WR	$6	11	Life will be much more challenging for Decker without Peyton Manning throwing him the ball.
74	Terrance Williams		WR	$5	11	With no one ahead of him on the depth chart other than Dez Bryant, now is Williams' time to break out.
75	Lamar Miller		RB	$5	5	If Moreno's knee doesn't heal, Miller will be the man in Miami. Your best bet will be to handcuff the two.
76	Tom Brady		QB	$21	10	Brady will outperform his draft-day price if Rob Gronkowski can stay healthy this season
77	Jason Witten		TE	$10	11	Still one of the best receiving weapons in the Cowboys' offense, which is now without Miles Austin.
78	Nick Foles		QB	$19	7	The most efficient quarterback last year, Foles could make the leap this season.
79	Greg Olsen		TE	$8	12	The University of Miami product gets tons of yardage, but he needs to score more touchdowns.
80	Cecil Shorts		WR	$5	11	It would be interesting to see where Shorts would be ranked if he were on any team but Jacksonville.
81	Sammy Watkins		WR	$5	9	Watkins was the best receiver in the draft by a comfortable margin. It's all up to EJ Manuel from here.
82	Jordan Cameron		TE	$5	4	Can he repeat his breakout season in this new offense -- without Josh Gordon?
83	Andrew Luck		QB	$14	10	Luck quite simply is not as good a fantasy quarterback as he is in real life.
84	Jordan Reed		TE	$2	10	Concussion problems ended Reed's chances of being the top rookie TE, but he could be the top sophomore.
85	Maurice Jones-Drew		RB	$4	5	In his first season out of Jacksonville, Jones-Drew will try to unseat the oft-injured/disappointing McFadden.
86	Danny Woodhead		RB	$4	10	Woodhead will have to convince the new OC in San Diego to get as many touches as last season.
87	Dennis Pitta		TE	$1	11	Looking for a rebound year, but coming back from a fractured and dislocated hip won't be easy on him.
88	Golden Tate		WR	$5	9	The Lions have long been searching for a receiver opposite Calvin Johnson. Tate may be their man.
89	Hakeem Nicks		WR	$5	10	Nicks could benefit from a new start with the Colts, but remember that he's third on the depth chart.
90	Fred Jackson		RB	$4	9	It's rare to see a 33-year-old running back excel, but he'll still get several carries alongside Spiller.
91	DeAndre Hopkins		WR	$4	10	If Ryan Fitzpatrick can rejuvenate the passing game, Hopkins could have the year many expected of him in '13.
92	Bernard Pierce		RB	$3	11	He should start first two games with Rice's suspension, but he's coming off a disappointing season.
93	Darren Sproles		RB	$3	7	He's a great receiving RB who will help replace the playmaking skills of the departed DeSean Jackson.
94	DeAngelo Williams		RB	$3	12	The lowest-ranked starting tailback, Williams will serve as a mediocre roster spot for you once again.
95	Robert Griffin III		QB	$13	10	Everything is there (receivers, new coach, healthy knee) for Griffin to erase the horrible memories of 2013.
96	Cam Newton		QB	$12	12	Given the dearth of weapons in the passing game, Newton is more dependent on his legs than ever.
97	Riley Cooper		WR	$3	12	Cooper had 835 yards and eight TDs last year, but much of that came in three games of 361 yards and six scores.
98	Tony Romo		QB	$10	11	Despite all the potshots, Romo has been a QB1 on a points-per-game basis every year of his career.
99	Knowshon Moreno		RB	$3	5	After arthroscopic knee surgery, Moreno looks to be losing ground to Miller in the race to be the starting RB.
100	Chris Ivory		RB	$3	11	If Chris Johnson falters in New York, Ivory will be there to scoop up the touches.
101	Brandin Cooks		WR	$3	6	Cooks landed in the best spot for a rookie receiver. He could generate starter-worthy numbers in New Orleans.
102	James Jones		WR	$3	5	Jones was always worth watching in GB, but he can be relegated to the dustbin now that he's with Oakland.
103	Mike Evans		WR	$3	7	The Bucs drafted Evans in Round 1, teaming him up with fellow big WR Vincent Jackson. Lots of potential here.
104	Dwayne Bowe		WR	$3	6	Bowe had a career low in receptions despite playing 15 games last year. His yards per catch average fell to 11.8.
105	Jay Cutler		QB	$10	9	Playing in the center of one of the league's best offenses, Cutler could finish the year as a top-five QB.
106	Anquan Boldin		WR	$3	8	Boldin had 85 catches for 1,179 yards and seven TDs last year, but his prospects are dimming with Crabtree healthy.
107	Terrance West		RB	$3	4	Coming from the small school of Towson, West's skills are ideal for what Cleveland is looking for on the ground.
108	Justin Hunter		WR	$3	9	Hunter, who's been compared to Alshon Jeffery, can be a huge red-zone weapon for Tennessee.
109	Devonta Freeman		RB	$2	9	With Steven Jackson already hampered by a hamstring injury, the rookie looks like a great mid-round sleeper.
110	Kyle Rudolph		TE	$1	10	Playing under offensive coordinator Norv Turner should be a good thing for the former Golden Domer.
111	Philip Rivers		QB	$8	10	Rivers enjoyed a resurgence in 2013, but he should still be considered a backup in 12-team leagues.
112	Tre Mason		RB	$2	4	The Rams plan on using the rookie as a change-of-pace running back behind sophomore Zac Stacy.
113	Colin Kaepernick		QB	$8	8	Kaepernick just doesn't do enough in the air to trust him as a regular fantasy starter just yet.
114	Seattle Seahawks		DST	$5	4	You'll have to move quick if you want the best DST over the past two years -- likely in Round 8 or earlier.
115	Darren McFadden		RB	$2	5	If he's not injured, he's usually disappointing. Has started just 26 of 48 games over past three seasons.
116	Josh Gordon		WR	$3	4	The fantasy community will have to wait to see the punishment handed down to Gordon.
117	Jarrett Boykin		WR	$2	9	As the new No. 3 receiver in Green Bay, Boykin finds himself in a potentially lucrative spot.
118	Marvin Jones		WR	$2	4	Cincinnati loves to throw the ball, though that impulse could be muted with Hue Jackson at the helm.
119	Greg Jennings		WR	$2	10	At this point of his career, Jennings is no more than depth at the receiver position for fantasy owners.
120	Ben Roethlisberger		QB	$7	12	Big Ben is playing with a top WR in Antonio Brown, and could outperform projections if Le'Veon Bell steps up.
121	Brian Hartline		WR	$2	5	Hartline had more than 1,000 yards last year, but he caught just four TDs. His ceiling is no higher than that.
122	Jeremy Hill		RB	$2	4	Hill could see goal-line work for the Bengals as the door closes on BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
123	Russell Wilson		QB	$7	4	Wilson is a perfect fit for Seattle in real life, but that comes at the expense of his fantasy value.
124	Markus Wheaton		WR	$2	12	Wheaton steps up alongside Antonio Brown to start in Pittsburgh with Emmanuel Sanders in Denver.
125	Mark Ingram		RB	$2	6	Ingram has broken many fantasy owners' hearts, but that could change as he enters a contract season.
126	Andre Brown		RB	$2	10	Brown inherits the backup job behind Arian Foster, who's coming off of back surgery.
127	Kenny Stills		WR	$2	6	Stills never quite got going last year, but he should be on the field for a whole lot more snaps this season.
128	Martellus Bennett		TE	$1	9	In Chicago alongside Marshall and Jeffery, Bennett turns this passing offense into triple towers.
129	Tavon Austin		WR	$2	4	The Rams never figured out how to properly use Austin last year. The talent remains, but don't use a high pick.
130	Charles Clay		TE	$1	5	Yet another tight end coming off a breakout season, Clay came through after Dustin Keller injured his knee.
131	Rueben Randle		WR	$2	8	Randle has sleeper potential, given that he racked up 611 yards and six TDs on a struggling Giants team in '13.
132	Zach Ertz		TE	$0	7	Should blow past Celek and become a viable fantasy player in his sophomore season with Chip Kelly's Eagles.
133	Kelvin Benjamin		WR	$2	12	Benjamin is going to be responsible for carrying the Carolina receivers, which should result in a lot of targets.
134	Carlos Hyde		RB	$2	8	Rookie out of Ohio State was considered the top back entering the draft, will work behind Gore.
135	Khiry Robinson		RB	$2	6	Many expect him to overtake Ingram -- and possibly Thomas -- on Saints' depth chart.
136	Jordan Matthews		WR	$2	7	The rookie Matthews will be given every opportunity to be the No. 3 receiver in Philadelphia's potent offense.
137	Danny Amendola		WR	$2	10	Sure, Amendola is in a great spot with the Patriots, but how can any fantasy owners expect him to stay healthy?
138	Christine Michael		RB	$1	4	Battling Knile Davis as top handcuff honors, the super sophomore will be much more involved in 2014.
139	Shonn Greene		RB	$1	9	If rookie Bishop Sankey can't handle starting, Greene will slowly move in to steal the starting position.
140	Jonathan Stewart		RB	$1	12	Backing up the lowest-ranked starting tailback gives Stewart some value, but not much.
141	LeGarrette Blount		RB	$1	12	After a great second-half of 2013, Blount signs to back up Bell in Pittsburgh.
142	Andy Dalton		QB	$6	4	Dalton always seems to follow a huge game with two duds. He'd be five spots higher if he had any consistency.
143	Eli Manning		QB	$5	8	Manning is clearly a fantasy backup at this point, but there's some solid talent on the Giants offense.
144	Steve Smith		WR	$2	11	Smith can still stretch the field deep, and his new QB, Joe Flacco, has always been able to throw a pretty deep ball.
145	Knile Davis		RB	$1	6	Expected to get more work behind top RB Charles in his sophomore year. The top handcuff for 2014?
146	Ryan Tannehill		QB	$5	5	Tannehill showed marked improvement last year. Expect him to take another step in his development.
147	Ladarius Green		TE	$0	10	Green should officially overtake Gates this season -- in fantasy if not on the depth chart -- with his big-play ability.
148	Steve Johnson		WR	$2	8	The consistently underwhelming Johnson has a new home, but that's unlikely to boost his fantasy value.
149	Josh McCown		QB	$5	7	McCown will have trouble repeating last year's magic without Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
150	Donald Brown		RB	$1	10	Brown is waiting in the wings to replace either Mathews or Woodhead if one gets injured.
151	S.F. 49ers		DST	$3	8	Despite losing linebackers Bowman and Aldon Smith for a bit, this DST remains one of the best.
152	Sam Bradford		QB	$4	4	Was quietly having a nice 2013 season (1,687 yards, 14 TDs in seven games) before suffering a torn ACL.
153	Cincinnati Bengals		DST	$3	4	Returning injured players stock an already formidable defensive unit in Cincinnati.
154	Carolina Panthers		DST	$3	12	Carolina's devastating pass rush should compensate for an inexperienced secondary.
155	Carson Palmer		QB	$4	4	Palmer has good weapons in Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Ellington. Upside aplenty.
156	EJ Manuel		QB	$4	9	The Bills traded up to get Manuel a top-flight weapon in Sammy Watkins. Now the onus is on him.
157	St. Louis Rams		DST	$3	4	A stacked defense, led by Laurinaitis, Long and Quinn, paired with Tavon Austin as their return man.
158	Aaron Dobson		WR	$2	10	The only sure things in NE are Gronkowski and Edelman. Someone will have to step up, and it could be Dobson.
159	Cody Latimer		WR	$2	4	Latimer may not get a shot until later in the year, but he's a great guy to draft and stash given that he's in Denver.
160	Ahmad Bradshaw		RB	$1	10	All healed from last season's neck injury, Bradshaw could compete for more work if Richardson disappoints.
161	Odell Beckham Jr.		WR	$2	8	With plenty of competition on the depth chart behind Cruz, Beckham will have to prove himself in training camp.
162	Joe Flacco		QB	$3	11	Flacco now has two receivers (Torrey Smith, Steve Smith) that can take advantage of his big arm.
163	Rod Streater		WR	$2	5	Streater should start opposite James Jones in Oakland, but the Raiders' passing game leaves a lot to be desired.
164	Lance Dunbar		RB	$1	11	The dynamic running back could see time even if Cowboys starter DeMarco Murray never gets injured.
165	Heath Miller		TE	$0	12	Miller was sidelined with a knee injury in 2013, but he's one of Roethisberger's favorite targets in the end zone.
166	Denver Broncos		DST	$2	4	Adding DeMarcus Ware and Aqib Talib should help when foes have to go to the air to catch up against Peyton.
167	Arizona Cardinals		DST	$2	4	Yet another excellent defense/special teams unit from the NFC West, the Cardinals do a little bit of everything well.
168	Jared Cook		TE	$0	4	Cook is a prime breakout candidate after his first season in St. Louis. A healthy Sam Bradford should help him out.
169	Brandon LaFell		WR	$2	10	You could do worse than taking a chance on a guy on the Patriots offense this late in your draft.
170	Andre Williams		RB	$1	8	Williams started the preseason with a touchdown run, and he should see regular season goal-line work, too.
171	Robert Woods		WR	$2	9	The second-year man is another favorite sleeper after catching 40 passes for 587 yards and three TDs in '13.
172	N.E. Patriots		DST	$2	10	Belichick brings in Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner for the secondary, as stud players return from injury.
173	Miles Austin		WR	$1	4	So much of football is about opportunity, and Austin will have that in Cleveland.
174	Denarius Moore		WR	$1	5	Moore has slid down to No. 3 on the Oakland depth chart, making him essentially a non-factor in leagues.
175	Antonio Gates		TE	$0	10	Formerly one of the best tight ends in fantasy, Gates is now going to be a guy that shines every now and again.
176	Harry Douglas		WR	$1	9	Douglas had a cup of coffee with owners last year, but with Jones and White healthy, that's unlikely in '14.
177	Doug Baldwin		WR	$1	4	Baldwin figures to be the No. 2 receiver in Seattle, trailing only the injury-prone Percy Harvin. Sleeper alert.
178	Alex Smith		QB	$3	6	Smith remains the poster boy for the term "game manager." That isn't a good thing in fantasy leagues.
179	Marqise Lee		WR	$1	11	Lee is definitely a cut below his fellow rookie receivers, and being in Jacksonville only makes it worse.
180	Roy Helu		RB	$0	10	Helu is better in the passing game than Morris, but has to earn more touches in Gruden's offense.
181	Stepfan Taylor		RB	$0	4	If skeptics are right about Ellington's ability to work a full load, Taylor will be waiting in the wings.
182	Andrew Hawkins		WR	$1	4	Hawkins had a mini-run of fantasy relevance with the Bengals in 2012, but that petered out last season.
183	Baltimore Ravens		DST	$1	11	While this is an aging unit, it should score more often than it did in 2013.
184	Kansas City Chiefs		DST	$1	6	Like the Ravens, the Chiefs are regressing back to the mean, which means fewer defensive touchdowns.
185	James Starks		RB	$0	9	An early retirement of Johnathan Franklin (neck injury) makes Starks' the likely backup to Lacy.
186	Johnny Manziel		QB	$3	4	Manziel is the upside play in Cleveland, but Brian Hoyer is likely to get the first shot.
187	Jake Locker		QB	$3	9	If Locker can stay healthy, he can be a fantasy weapon. That has proven to be a big if.
188	Matt Prater		K	$2	4	He may not get another 75 extra points this year, but he was also 25-for-26 on field goal attempts.
189	C.J. Anderson		RB	$0	4	If Ball can't produce in his second season, the Broncos might go with the bowling ball-like Anderson.
190	Eric Ebron		TE	$0	9	The rookie will eventually become one of Stafford's favorite targets, but he'll likely struggle early on.
191	Bryce Brown		RB	$0	9	Brown was brought in this offseason as the possible future, as Spiller and Jackson enter contract years.
192	Delanie Walker		TE	$0	9	Locker is healthy (for now), and the Titans are hoping Walker and Justin Hunter can become end-zone targets.
193	Stephen Gostkowski		K	$2	10	As rock solid as they come -- he has led the league in scoring each of the last two years.
194	Dexter McCluster		WR	$1	9	McCluster can bring a new dynamic to the Tennessee offense, but he's only a viable option in deeper leagues.
195	Mike Williams		WR	$1	9	Williams has been an every-other-year guy in his four NFL seasons. Give him a shot if you believe in that sort of stuff.
196	Steven Hauschka		K	$2	4	Hauschka's 94.3-percent success rate last year was second to Matt Prater's, but he attempted nine more FGs.
197	Latavius Murray		RB	$0	5	Murray sits behind Jones-Drew and McFadden, both of whom are incredibly inconsistent.
198	Tyler Eifert		TE	$0	4	Another second-year tight end, Eifert should receive more attention now in a new offense.
199	Dwayne Allen		TE	$0	10	Allen's coming back from a hip injury that ended his 2013 after Week 1. He should be one of Luck's top targets.
200	Kenbrell Thompkins		WR	$1	10	Thompkins was everybody's favorite sleeper last year. Monitor his use in the exhibition games.
201	Charles Sims		RB	$0	7	The Buccaneers drafted him early in the third round to work passing downs in a new offense.
202	Jerricho Cotchery		WR	$1	12	Someone has to catch passes in Carolina, right? Cotchery, who had 10 TDs last year, has sneaky value.
203	James White		RB	$0	10	White could be auditioning this season to be top back next season, as Ridley and Vereen are in contract years.
204	Justin Tucker		K	$2	11	Tucker has a big leg (he made a 61-yarder last year), and connected on 92.7 percent of his field goal attempts.
205	Tampa Bay Buccaneers		DST	$1	7	Lovie Smith returns to town ready to help a young squad improve from average last season.
206	Dan Bailey		K	$2	11	Bailey is remarkably consistent, having finished in the top 10 each of the last three seasons.
207	Teddy Bridgewater		QB	$3	10	Bridgewater, not Manziel, is the rookie quarterback that you want to have on your team.
208	Jordan Todman		RB	$0	11	Todman is set to handle backup duties behind Gerhart in Jacksonville, but he may see some game action.
209	Geno Smith		QB	$2	11	Smith appears to be the favorite for the Jets' job, yet remains no more than a backup in fantasy leagues.
210	Malcom Floyd		WR	$1	10	Talent has never been a question for Floyd, but his health is questionable season after season.
211	Cleveland Browns		DST	$1	4	Cornerback Joe Haden headlines this defense, but it'll be on the field a lot again, it seems.
212	Phil Dawson		K	$1	8	Dawson just needed to get himself out of Cleveland to become relevant to fantasy owners.
213	Matt Schaub		QB	$2	5	Schaub needed a change of scenery more than any other QB in the league, but Oakland is not the ideal spot.
214	Ryan Fitzpatrick		QB	$2	10	Fitzpatrick has a little bit of deep sleeper buzz thanks to Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins and Arian Foster.
215	Isaiah Crowell		RB	$0	4	The 2011 SEC Freshman of the Year has talent, and he just needs to take advantage of opportunities.
216	Blair Walsh		K	$1	10	Walsh didn't replicate his rookie success, but he still drilled 26-of-30 field goal attempts last year.
217	Mike Tolbert		RB	$0	12	The more things change, the more thay stay the same as Tolbert plays FB for Williams and Stewart.
218	Matt Bryant		K	$1	9	With the Atlanta offense fully healthy, Bryant should once again be a fantasy starter.
219	Kenny Britt		WR	$1	4	If you're inclined to take a shot on a receiver at this stage of the draft, go with someone as talented as Britt.
220	Ka'Deem Carey		RB	$0	9	Forte was one of the most used RBs last season, and Carey should get a chance to give him a breather.
221	Houston Texans		DST	$0	10	No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney joins J.J. Watt to possibly make the best pass-rushing tandem in years.
222	Alex Henery		K	$1	7	Despite the success of the Eagles offense, Henery ranked 19th among kickers in '13, missing five of 28 FG attempts.
223	Garrett Graham		TE	$0	10	With Owen Daniels out of town and three shaky QBs on the roster, Graham could see a lot of check-downs.
224	Jace Amaro		TE	$0	11	The rookie will have to beat out Jeff Cumberland (not difficult) and score some TDs for the Jets (difficult).
225	Nick Novak		K	$1	10	Novak rode a resurgent San Diego offense to the third-most fantasy points among kickers a season ago.
226	Nate Washington		WR	$1	9	Washington will be just about the most boring pick in any draft in which he is selected.
227	Jacquizz Rodgers		RB	$0	9	With just under 3.7 yards per carry in his career, Rodgers might lose Falcons' backup gig to Freeman.
228	Marlon Brown		WR	$1	11	Brown had seven touchdowns last year, but his value takes a big hit with Steve Smith in town.
229	BenJarvus Green-Ellis		RB	$0	4	Cincinnati drafted rookie Jeremy Hill to replace Green-Ellis on short yardage attacks.
230	Lache Seastrunk		RB	$0	10	The rookie out of Baylor could work his way up to be the top backup behind Morris in Washington.
231	Mason Crosby		K	$1	9	Crosby bounced back from a miserable 2012 season, and will always be a top option so long as he's in Green Bay.
232	Chris Givens		WR	$1	4	There are too many No. 3/4 receivers in St. Louis, and Givens doesn't have a unique talent to distinguish himself.
233	Coby Fleener		TE	$0	10	Luck's teammate at Stanford had some good games, but he really hasn't progressed as we all had hoped.
234	Marcus Lattimore		RB	$0	8	Still working his way back from a horrific college knee injury, it remains to be seen what he can offer in 2014.
235	Shayne Graham		K	$1	6	The Saints' kicker will always be an attractive fantasy option with Drew Brees in town.
236	Michael Vick		QB	$1	11	Vick is always tempting, but he's No. 2 on the depth chart and, at 34 years old, is a huge injury risk.
237	Marquess Wilson		WR	$1	9	Wilson is worth considering in very deep leagues thanks to the high-powered Chicago passing game.
238	Jeremy Kerley		WR	$1	11	Kerley should start opposite Eric Decker and, at 25 years old, he still has plenty of room to grow.
239	Brian Hoyer		QB	$1	4	Hoyer played well in three games before tearing his ACL. Don't assume Manziel will start in Cleveland.
240	Jerick McKinnon		WR	$1	10	Patterson and Jennings are the starters, but McKinnon can move up to No. 3 with a strong training camp.
241	Jerrel Jernigan		WR	$1	8	Jernigan finished the season with a flourish, catching 19 of 27 targets for 237 yards and two touchdowns.
242	Austin Seferian-Jenkins		TE	$0	7	The big man will try to be Josh McCown's new Martellus Bennett in Tampa Bay. Expect late-season progress.
243	Marcel Reece		RB	$0	5	Reece will work as the fullback in Oakland's offense once again and get some use in the passing game.
244	Da'Rick Rogers		WR	$1	10	With Hilton, Wayne and Nicks ahead of him, Rogers does not warrant fantasy owners' attention on draft day.
245	Andre Roberts		WR	$1	10	Whoever emerges as the No. 3 receiver in Washington could have some value, and Roberts is the favorite.
246	Jermaine Kearse		WR	$1	4	Kearse benefits from a lack of receiving options in Seattle, which should help him take root as the No. 3 receiver.
247	Chris Polk		RB	$0	7	Polk sits third on the depth chart behind McCoy and Sproles, but loses Bryce Brown.
248	Brandon Bolden		RB	$0	10	Bolden played well last season, but drafting James White likely pushes Bolden to fourth on the depth chart.
249	Robert Turbin		RB	$0	4	With Lynch and Michael ahead of him, Turbin needs an injury or two to become fantasy worthy.
250	Davante Adams		WR	$1	9	This late in your draft, you might as well take a shot on a guy who plays in one of the league's best offenses.
251	Nate Burleson		WR	$1	4	Regardless of what happens with Josh Gordon, Burleson carries scant fantasy value into the season.
252	Marcedes Lewis		TE	$0	11	The veteran is on the downside of his career, but he's still one of Jacksonville's best bets near the goal line.
253	Donnie Avery		WR	$1	6	It's hard to trust anyone in the K.C. passing game, making Avery someone owners should ignore on draft day
254	Eddie Royal		WR	$1	10	Royal had a burst of fantasy value last year that evaporated quickly. He isn't significant in fantasy leagues.
255	Scott Chandler		TE	$0	9	Bills receivers, including Chandler, won't be great fantasy options until E.J. Manuel becomes more consistent.
256	Levine Toilolo		TE	$0	9	Taking over for Tony Gonzalez can't be easy, but the Falcons should work the 6-foot-8 Toilolo into the offense.
257	Daniel Thomas		RB	$0	5	Lost opportunities finally caught up with Thomas as he's shoved down the depth chart.
258	Robbie Gould		K	$1	9	Gould has added some range as he has gotten older, and is now tied to one of the league's best offenses.
259	Bobby Rainey		RB	$0	7	After totaling 566 rushing yards and five touchdowns last season, Rainey is now just a backup again.
260	Travis Kelce		TE	$0	6	After missing '13 after knee microfracture surgery, Kelce will have a freshman's body with a sophomore's brain.
261	Andrew Quarless		TE	$0	9	Not known for being a great receiver, Quarless will do his best to replace Jermichael Finley's talent.
262	Mohamed Sanu		WR	$1	4	Sanu has the size to be a weapon for Andy Dalton, but he has been passed by Marvin Jones on the depth chart.
263	Denard Robinson		RB	$0	11	Robinson impressed in his first season as a tailback, but he remains third on the Jaguars' depth chart.
264	Miami Dolphins		DST	$0	5	DE Cameron Wake remains one of the few defensive stars, making this unit good in certain matchups.
265	Ryan Williams		RB	$0	11	Murray is often injured, and the Cowboys don't have much experience lined up behind him.
266	Joseph Randle		RB	$0	11	Randle underwhelmed in his 2013 audition and now sits at the bottom of the depth chart in Indianapolis.
267	Derek Carr		QB	$1	5	The Raiders drafted Carr to be their quarterback of the future. Alas, that future does not begin in 2014.
268	Matt Cassel		QB	$1	10	Cassel may begin the year as the starter, but the Teddy Bridgewater clock is ticking very loudly.
269	Darrius Heyward-Bey		WR	$1	12	Heyward-Bey is part of a group of potential No. 3 receivers for the Steelers, but it's hard to believe in him.
270	Pittsburgh Steelers		DST	$0	12	After adding some youth, this unit is a great streaming option to start the season.
271	Mike James		RB	$0	7	James sparkled in starts last year after Martin went down, but he resumes his "forgotten" status in 2014.
272	Ryan Succop		K	$1	6	Succop made fewer than 80 percent of his attempts last year and really struggled from distance.
273	Jonathan Dwyer		RB	$0	4	After four seasons in Pittsburgh, Dwyer rejoins Bruce Arians in the desert as a backup running back again.
274	Storm Johnson		RB	$0	11	Johnson's a complete back without outstanding attributes who rejoins former UCF teammate Blake Bortles.
275	Tim Wright		TE	$0	7	An over-achieving rookie season was met with the Bucs signing Brandon Myers and drafting Seferian-Jenkins.
276	Lance Moore		WR	$1	12	Moore's marginal fantasy value was always based on his presence in New Orleans. Now in Pittsburgh, take a pass.
277	Chicago Bears		DST	$0	9	Bringing in Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston should help this defense return to at least average.
278	Dri Archer		RB	$0	12	Archer ran a 4.26 at the NFL combine and likely ranks as one of the fastest men in the league.
279	Martavis Bryant		WR	$1	12	The Steelers drafted Bryant out of Clemson in the fourth round this year. He's a guy to watch in training camp.
280	Allen Robinson		WR	$1	11	Based on the fact that someone has to catch passes in Jacksonville, Robinson could be worth a late pick.
281	Owen Daniels		TE	$0	11	Daniels is back with Gary Kubiak, who will run the offense in Baltimore, but he's second behind Pitta.
282	Buffalo Bills		DST	$0	9	Second only to the Panthers, the Bills recorded 57 sacks in 2013.
283	Adam Vinatieri		K	$1	10	At 41 years old, Vinatieri still has it. He made 35 field goals in 2013.
284	New Orleans Saints		DST	$0	6	The Saints added Jairus Byrd and Champ Bailey to an already solid pass defense for 2014.
285	Graham Gano		K	$1	12	Gano had a strong 2013 season, making 24-of-27 field goal attempts, including six from beyond 50.
286	Connor Barth		K	$1	7	Barth, who missed last year with a torn Achilles, made nine field goals of at least 50 yards in 2012.
287	Benny Cunningham		RB	$0	4	There's too much talent ahead of Cunningham in St. Louis for him to make a fantasy impact.
288	Chad Henne		QB	$1	11	Henne is merely keeping the seat warm for rookie QB Blake Bortles in Jacksonville.
289	Blake Bortles		QB	$1	11	Bortles should be starting in Jacksonville at some point, but that's not an offense in which owners should invest.
290	Jermaine Gresham		TE	$0	4	It's a contract season for Gresham, who will likely give way to second-year man Eifert in terms of targets.
291	Mychal Rivera		TE	$0	5	Keep an eye on Rivera, who after a QB carousel in 2013 now gets TE-friendly Matt Schaub throwing to him.
292	Brandon Pettigrew		TE	$0	9	The Lions' selection of Ebron in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft tells Pettigrew all he needs to know.
293	Jacoby Jones		WR	$1	11	Jones has never had a season with at least 600 yards and has reached 50 receptions just once.
294	Bilal Powell		RB	$0	11	Powell gets pushed further down the depth chart after the Jets signed Chris Johnson.
295	Jermichael Finley	N/A	TE	$0	N/A	Another player coming off of a major neck injury, Finley needs to find a team before a fantasy team finds him.
296	Travaris Cadet		RB	$0	6	Third-year man out of App. State could pick up some of touches formerly going to Sproles.
297	Ronnie Hillman		RB	$0	4	Once had a chance at starting, but couldn't protect Peyton Manning, and that's Rule No. 1 for Broncos RBs.
298	Brian Quick		WR	$1	4	Quick's competition at wide receiver in St. Louis isn't exactly stiff, so he could become fantasy-relevant.
299	Ace Sanders		WR	$1	11	The Jacksonville receiving corps is muddled, and that could create an opportunity for Sanders.
300	DuJuan Harris		RB	$0	9	Harris is third behind Lacy and Starks, and will likely need an injury to be relevant in most leagues.
