It’s August and the we are in the heat of college fantasy football drafts. We’ve put together our comprehensive player rankings for this time period when news is emerging from fall camps. These rankings can assist you with any all-FBS league on sites like Fantrax, and Bluechip.
Below you will find a downloadable spreadsheet with all 667 players included. You will also find a Fantrax upload file that you can use to automatically upload these rankings into your Fantrax leagues.
Lets review some of the additional information included in these rankings to ensure you get the most out of what College Fantasy Reign has to provide.
TIERS
Players are grouped into tiers with players of similar fantasy value. The lower the tier number, the more fantasy value those players have. This is useful when comparing players from different positions while drafting. You can look at what tier each player is to evaluate their fantasy value relative to one another.
PLAYER PROFILE
Profiles are assigned to each player based on one of several factors. If a player was listed in one of the player spotlights in this draft guide, that type of spotlight will be listed in the profile (ex: Flyer). If a player was not featured in a player spotlight, then the fantasy performance of their career is evaluated. Here is a list of all the profiles used in these player ranking and their meanings:
- Player Spotlights: My Guy, Nuclear, Riser, Flyer, & Handcuff
- Established: Player has been established as a top fantasy asset.
- Contributor: Player has contributed modest fantasy production.
- Limited: Player has had fantasy production that is very limited or not produced any fantasy value with a minimum of 10 career game appearances.

- FCS: Player was competing at the FCS level last season.
- Freshman: Player is a true freshman.
PFF GRADE
The grades listed are grades that the website Pro Fantasy Focus placed on each player for their 2025 season performance. The higher the grade, the better their performance was.
CFF COACHING SYSTEMS
We track seven categories of CFF Coaching Systems that have proven fantasy production for the QB, RB, WR, and TE positions.

Those coaching systems are:
