Welcome to College Fantasy Football here on Yahoo.
In just a moment, you'll be drafting your championship roster, so buckle up for a wild ride.
Here are some last second reminders to push you past your league mates and validate all the trash talk we can expect in the next three months.
First, be prepared for running backs to rule the top of your draft.
Expect to see anywhere from 15 to 20 rushers taken in the first two rounds, so don't fall behind the curve when it comes to assessing your backfield.
Next, make sure to target receivers on offenses that are capable of scoring 33-plus points per game and throwing 33 passes per game.
These air raid style offenses are the key to building a productive receiver room.
Quarterback, you don't wanna take quarterbacks too early.
Just 12 quarterbacks start per week in a 68 team power floor landscape.
Leave your quarterbacks for the end and only roster two of them.
With tight end, you wanna be first or last.
There are three elite tight ends that separate themselves from the pack.
If you don't get one of those, wait until the end of the draft.
The team offense position is probably the position that has the most difference from NFL fantasy to college.
You wanna be focusing on teams that play mistake-free football, that run up the score against lesser opponents in their conferences.
Indiana, Ohio State, Miami, Oregon, Texas Tech are all viable options at the offense position.
That's it.
You're ready.
Now go crush this draft and bring home a College Fantasy Football championship.
