Yahoo’s College Fantasy Football game has become a playground for millions of fans who want to simulate the college gridiron experience, and at its core is a quarterback pool that dwarfs even the NFL’s depth.
The platform’s standard scoring awards .04 points per yard and four points per passing touchdown, a formula that rewards both volume and efficiency, while also giving a modest boost to rushing production.
Elite college quarterbacks are no longer just pocket passers; the most coveted prospects blend arm strength with the ability to pick up yards on the ground, a combination that can push a player into the top‑10 of the scoring leaderboard.
To crack the top tier, a quarterback typically needs to amass at least three hundred rushing yards and four or more rushing touchdowns, a benchmark that 15 returning signal‑callers met in the 2025 Power Four season, making them highly sought after on draft day.
The Top 74 Quarterbacks
The latest Yahoo ranking lists 74 quarterbacks, with Arch Manning of Texas leading the pack, followed by Trinidad Chambliss of Ole Miss and Devon Dampier of Utah. The rest of the list reads like a who’s‑who of the sport’s next generation, featuring names such as Drew Mestemaker, Sam Leavitt and Conner Weigman.
Fans can expect a frenzy of activity when the draft arrives, as teams jockey for the players who not only throw for yards but also contribute on the ground, a dual‑threat profile that has become the hallmark of fantasy success.
