This article is part of our College Football DFS: Weekday Slate series.
Originally scheduled to be a four-game slate, the cancellation of the Texas Bowl featuring TCU and Arkansas leaves us with just three. Leading the way in the expected scoring totals by a longshot is San Jose State (36.5). Next on the slate is expected scoring is their opponent, Ball State, who sports an expected total of 27.
The 63.5 expected total for that contest paces the rest of the field by at least 18 and more than 20 than Army-West Virginia. While it can't exclusively comprise lineups, it's certainly the game to target of the three on the slate.
Outside of that contest, the remaining teams are expected to divide the low-scoring contests pretty evenly, further detracting from some of the fantasy value and leaving the expected game script rather fluid.
