For 10 years, I have played College Fantasy Football and now get to share my passion with thousands of other diehards like myself. Without questions, Fantrax.com has the best College Fantasy Football platform, and everyone who loves NFL fantasy football should jump into a CFF league in 2018.
In preparation for this year’s draft, I wrote 12 burning questions and polled Twitter fans for different viewpoints. It is not a scientific poll, but the results provide a small window into the collective hive of CFF Diehards. I recorded the results to share with all of the readers on Fantrax.com. Enjoy!
Curious about what the experts think about your favorite players? Check out the FootballDiehards.com 5th Annual Suma Cum Laude Mock Draft for the 2018 season.
