With the 2020-2021 NFL season beginning on September 5th, it means that the fantasy season is also on the horizon. With most people still not having drafted their teams for the season, this is the perfect time to start working on or make the finishing touches to your draft board. These Ohio State players can help.

This is a year that adding some former Ohio State Buckeyes onto it could even bring you a fantasy championship and bragging rights over your league mates.

Since Urban Meyer and his recruits made their way onto the Buckeyes roster, the Buckeyes have had more top-level talent at offensive skill positions than they have in years.

Ryan Day has continued the tradition as J.K. Dobbins has huge fantasy potential being a featured running back in a run-heavy Baltimore Ravens offense. Looking forward, Justin Fields will be a top rookie quarterback next season and should be someone that people look out for in keeper leagues next season. Furthermore, Julian Flemming appears to have star potential in the NFL if he continues to develop into the receiver that Buckeye fans are hoping he can be.

Coming back to the 2020 season, there are five real options that all fantasy players should have their eyes on going into the draft that previously donned the scarlet and gray.

This will be going based on a one-point per reception league which does make running backs much less overpowered than they are in non-points per reception leagues.
