As the NFL fantasy football realm continues to evolve, more and more fantasy fanatics are exploring the world of developmental leagues that include collegiate skill players, colloquially known as “Devy” leagues.
Though the standard, cookie-cutter 12-team redraft league format is the most commonly used structure for NFL fantasy, there is a burgeoning community of players who seek to integrate College and NFL fantasy leagues by allowing taxi squads of college players who then join their NFL team upon graduation.
This concept has been further expanded upon by the rise of “Campus 2 Canton” leagues in which participants construct large rosters of NFL and CFB players who compete in separate NFL AND CFF leagues using the same roster, with the CFF roster automatically graduating to the NFL roster once they leave campus.
Accordingly, here are my top Devy League prospects for the upcoming season, sorted by position.
