The new Yahoo College Fantasy Football game introduces a Team Offense position, adding another layer of strategy to your weekly lineup decisions. This position comprises 10 starting spots in total and is designed to emphasize overall offensive dominance, especially for teams that execute consistently. With Indiana and Notre Dame finishing the 2025 regular season as the two highest-scoring programs, the system rewards teams that execute well across a full game while penalizing those that commit costly mistakes.
Here’s how the Team Offense position works and some strategies to consider when selecting yours for this draft season. The scoring categories and point values are as follows: a touchdown of any type is worth +3, the first 300 yards of offense accumulate +1.5, every additional 50 yards adds +0.25, turnovers cost -2, field goals made earn +1, a Team win adds +1, and a Team loss subtracts -1. The aim is to reward efficient, high-scoring units that minimize mistakes and stay productive for the full 60 minutes, including contributions from second-stringers and freshmen who can close out games in the fourth quarter. In this system, every scoring play, field goal, and victory generates points, while turnovers carry a steep penalty compared with other statistics.

Because the Team Offense position never rests and never leaves the field, truly dominant teams within their conferences tend to stand out when evaluating this position. For context, six teams would have surpassed the 200-point threshold during the 2025 regular season (12 games): Indiana (239.7), Texas Tech (211.08), Notre Dame (210.59), Utah (206.44), Vanderbilt (205.82), and Ohio State (200.17). National champion Indiana led the pack, while Texas Tech dominated the Big 12 to finish second. To put that into perspective, 16 Power Five running backs exceeded 200 points last year. By Yahoo’s scoring system, Indiana would have averaged about 20 fantasy points per game, which would have been 5.42 PPG higher than the 12th-ranked school (Miami at 174.6 PPG) and 7.58 PPG more than the 24th-ranked team (Texas at 148.74 PPG).
Five other programs came close to the 200-point mark in the 2025 regular season: Oregon (197.60), Ole Miss (196.96), Tennessee (193.11), Texas A&M (181.32), and USC (177.30). Consistency matters, as many Power Five programs feast on lower-caliber non-conference opponents early in the season and then struggle during conference play against stronger competition. In fact, 53 Power Five teams posted one of their two highest Team Offense weekly totals within their first three games last season, a period when top conferences often schedule “paycheck games” against weaker opponents.
With offense typically easier to accumulate early, you can realistically stream a Team Offense from the waiver wire for the first few weeks. Nevertheless, once conference play begins, it becomes crucial to rely on teams that can maintain high-level output despite tougher opponents.
