Dual-threat quarterbacks like Ohio State's Justin Fields are fantasy gold in CFF
Dual-threat quarterbacks continue to be the gold standard when it comes to college fantasy football and will typically control the top of the rankings. D'Eriq King dominated the CFF landscape back in 2018, averaging more than 40 fantasy points per game. Last season, Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts was the leading fantasy scorer in college football.
With that said, it should come to no surprise that Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is not only our QB1 for 2020, but also the No. 1 overall player in CFF this upcoming season. Fields was outstanding in his first year with the Buckeyes after transferring over from Georgia, throwing for more than 3,200 yards and 41 touchdowns with just three interceptions. He is the clear choice if you somehow manage to nab the No. 1 overall pick in CFF.
