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.
There’s no such thing as too much football! 2022 is the perfect time to add the college game to your fantasy football repertoire. Whether you want to create your own league or join an existing league, the Fantrax College Football Commissioner is the place to go!
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.

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
2023 College Fantasy Football Rankings
