Saturday Down South has partnered with Daily Joust this week to offer a fun way to engage the opening weekend of college football.
Daily Joust offers a number of fantasy football options for college football fans including daily competitions where you can pick who you think will be the top performers this Saturday.
Not only can you win $200 in this contest, but if you beat the SDS roster (below), you can win an extra $5.
In addition to the cash prizes, I enjoy just trying to pick the roster utilizing the salary cap system. It’s quite a challenge, and it’s fun to see how you did after the games play out.
Without further ado, here’s the SDS roster for this coming Saturday:
| Pos | Name | Game | Game Time | Salary |
| QB | Geno Smith | Marsh@WVU | Sat 12:00pm ET | $187,000 |
| RB | Jalston Fowler | Mich@Ala | Sat 8:00pm ET | $124,000 |
| RB | Mike Gillislee | BGSU@Fla | Sat 3:30pm ET | $140,000 |
| WR | Kenny Stills | Okla@UTEP | Sat 10:30pm ET | $147,000 |
| WR | Tavarres King | Buff@UGa | Sat 12:21pm ET | $85,000 |
| WR | Robert Woods | Hawaii@USC | Sat 7:30pm ET | $201,000 |
| TE | Philip Lutzenkirchen | Clem@Auburn | Sat 7:00pm ET | $28,000 |
| TK | Michigan Wolverines | Mich@Ala | Sat 8:00pm ET | $32,000 |
| DEF | Alabama Crimson Tide | Mich@Ala | Sat 8:00pm ET | $40,000 |
As you can see the field is not limited to just SEC players, but hey, extra props to you if you limit your roster to SEC players.
Note that a few teams are missing like Arkansas, and it only includes teams playing on Saturday.

If you think you’re roster will dominate, add it to the comments below to show off a bit. We’ll give some shout-outs to SDS readers who dominate the Daily Joust contest this weekend. Good luck.
Of course Arkansas is missing…….we get no love.
Must be because it’d be too easy to win by picking Tyler Wilson this week.
Or it’s because Arkansas doesn’t deserve any credit yet.

Well done.
Anderson and Metoyer will end up being the go-to guys at their respective positions…stealing them at this price. And I bet Kiffin gives Redd some red zone carries as a thank you for transferring.
