On Thursday, Yahoo Fantasy Sports announced it’s launching College Fantasy Football, marking the first time a mainstream site has added such a product to its platform.
Drafts will begin Aug. 3, and the season will kick off on Sept. 3. The scoring system is similar to that of Yahoo’s half-PPR (point-per-reception) NFL leagues. (Note: passing TDs are normally four points in Yahoo leagues but can be raised to six.) Teams feature 18 roster spots instead of 16 and are limited to players from Power Four schools and Notre Dame. It also includes a new team offense position, similar to the defensive/special teams slot in traditional leagues.
“This will be an interesting opportunity to really develop fandom not just of the sport, but also the players and the schools,” Yahoo Media Group president Ryan Spoon told Pat Graham of the Associated Press. “The content is now available to make a really robust, awesome experience.”
Part of that experience will be selecting college football stars in drafts. With that in mind, here are five you should consider targeting.
