The 2019 season is over and now I’ve made the bold decision to release positional top 25 College Fantasy Football rankings for the 2020 season. Of course, these rankings are subject to change with another signing day and Spring camps still on the docket. For now, however, I’m going to look ahead to the 2020 season and provide a basic ranking from what I can gather so early in the process. Considering college fantasy football has such a large player pool, I have provided plenty of honorable mentions in an effort not to leave anybody worth mentioning out.
Plus to give you a few more fun 2020 nuggets, I give you the names of some transfers, JuCo Signees, and Instant Impact Freshmen.
Note To Reader: Rankings will most certainly change after the Spring.
