College Fantasy Football discusses implications of Week 0 for drafts
Summary

Week 0 of college football features a selection of eight FBS games on August 29, which serve as a pseudo-preseason but do not generate statistics. Key players like USC's young wide receivers and Virginia's unsettled backfield are highlighted as potential impact stories for fantasy drafts. Coaches are scrutinizing new rotations, particularly with TCU's Jaden Craig set to make his first Power Four start against North Carolina. The dynamic among teams during Week 0 can significantly affect drafting strategies as players like Hawaii's Jackson Harris once demonstrated in previous seasons.
