Quarterback is the most important position in college fantasy football, as these three signal-callers clearly prove. It's also interesting that these three QBs are dual-threats— they can beat defenses with their feet, but they can air it out also.
From a fantasy football perspective, Clement and Lewis should be owned by college fantasy football players in every league they have availability.
Juice Williams was the most surprising player with his Week One performance. After an inconsistent season throwing the ball in 2007, Juice totaled 451 yards through the air against Missouri and only ran for 10 yards. He should certainly be added to the watch lists of college fantasy owners, but hold off on adding him to your roster until he proves he can produce numbers like last week's on a consistent basis.
