2023 College Fantasy Football Rankings – Final Preseason Update!

In fifteen years playing college fantasy football, I have never been so excited for an upcoming campaign. With the rise of campus2canton, Devy, Best Ball and CFB DFS, college fantasy football diehards seek information earlier and earlier every year. I have decided to compile my 2023 College Fantasy Football Player Rankings for those interested in preparing for the upcoming season.

I often get DMs asking how to join a CFF league. Alas, some followers are intimidated by the large player pool. I always respond by suggesting a Best Ball league to become familiar with the teams and players across the nation. It is the best way to jump into CFF…you will not be disappointed.

CFF Best Ball League Configuration

22 Draft Rounds

Starting Lineup: 9 Weekly Starters: 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE and 1 Flex

Scoring

Passing TD, Rushing TD and Receiving TD: 6 points 

Passing yards: .04 per yard

Rushing & Receiving yards: .10 per yard

In order to further promote our amazing hobby, I will also be hosting the third-annual CFF King’s Classic event at the Fantasy Expo in Canton, Ohio this summer. Look forward to meeting as many friends, colleagues, and CFF diehards as possible. Please come by the Expo, say hello, and watch the draft live.

Undervalued CFF Players

I have participated in three CFF drafts already, and have a solid understanding of the player pool. All the players listed below remain undervalued in drafts. I will target these players in CFF drafts according to the current Average Draft Position (ADP).

Quarterbacks

1. Taylen Green, Boise State
2. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
3. E.J. Warner, Temple

Running Backs

1. Michael Wiley, Arizona

Twitterverse on Fire!

Among G5 quarterbacks in college fantasy football, Who Ya Got in 2023 drafts?

Dequan Finn, Toledo: 20%

Malik Hornsby, Texas State: 34%

Michael Pratt, Toledo: 28%

Chevan Cordeiro, SJSU: 18%

“Malik Hornsby has so much upside! Really hope it comes together for him this year, but the other three are all probably safer.” @CFBWinningEdge

“What a list! Chevan is the safest.” @aceholesrule
