A little wrinkle here.
The game features players from the Power Four conferences plus Notre Dame.
And for the first time on Yahoo Fantasy, a team offense roster position.
What does that component mean, and how does it impact draft strategies?
Sure.
The offense is similar to what you would expect from a defense in terms of scoring, you know, traditionally in the fantasy landscape.
so while you're getting points for their scores and things of that nature, it's really the overall yardage and efficiency that really separates the top teams from the middle of the pack, right?
So a touchdown is three points.
300 yards of offense, the first 300, is a point and a half.
And then for every 50 additional yards, that's a quarter point.
But where you really make the difference is, wins are a point.
Losses are a negative point.
Turnovers are negative two points.
So the efficiency with typically the alpha dog-type teams in power conferences that are gonna be rolling their opponents and do so efficiently, mistake-free play, they're the best ones.
For instance, last year, the number one scorer, Indiana, as you might imagine, the clear number one.
Number two, the dominant Texas Tech Red Raiders, who ran through that Big 12 team.
And number three, Notre Dame, because they play that pseudo ACC schedule with just a soft They, they can figure everything they want.
They play, like, I think the number 66 ranked schedule in the country this year for Notre Dame.
Gonna be tough to really stop them.
They will be a premium asset in that offense category.
So my advice would be take the big dogs, the Oregons, the Indianas, the Ohio States, the Notre Dames, the Texas Techs.
Take the Miami, the big teams and, that dominate their conferences efficiently.
Those are the best offensive teams to pick
