2012 Outlook: Deep-league Only

Last updated on Aug-10-2012 by Shawn Larabee

As a poor man's Wes Welker in 2010, Amendola was a PPR bargain who averaged more than 5.3 catches per game working mainly out of the slot. That was to be his role again in 2011, but a triceps injury derailed him in the first week. Coming off surgery and with a fresh one-year contract in hand, he'll be fighting to endear himself to a new head coach and a new offensive coordinator who are not known for their heavy use of slot receivers.

UPDATE (7/29): According to ESPN.com, Amendola has been working as a starter accross from Brandon Gibson in two-WR sets. He has the starting slot job all but locked down and would see a bump in fantasy value if he can stay on the field in standard sets during the regular season.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	12.02	TheFFGhost
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	14.04	KFFL.com - Amendola could be a key factor in the Rams' passing game and is the only receiver Sam Bradford has shown to have chemistry with. I don't expect a lot from him, but he is worth a flier at this stage of the draft. I considered similar players like Eddie Royal, Austin Collie and Golden Tate.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	11.01	KFFL.com - Despite St. Louis' mass of WR candidates, Amendola's slot job isn't in jeopardy. It's also why he'll be a steal in the late PPR rounds in an offense which should make Sam Bradford more comfortable than Josh McDaniels'.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	12.03	KFFL.com - He'll be a safety net for my potentially up-and-down WRs in many weeks because of the quantity of targets he should see, and occasionally he'll outscore someone in top group. I feel secure at other positions, besides TE, where my No. 2 won't be considered a favorite for points anyway, and RB, where no one stands out, at this stage.
