QUARTERBACK
Bo Levi Mitchell, Tiger-Cats, $11,200 wage (vs. Ottawa, Saturday)
Certain, the REDBLACKS’ defence poses a mammoth problem, but it surely’s Mitchell and Hamilton holding residence area this week, making him an fascinating fantasy possibility coming off a bye week.
Mitchell scored 20.9 fantasy factors towards Ottawa in Week 4 and scored 23.5 FP within the OK Tire Labour Day Weekend win over Toronto. He threw a pair of touchdowns, his first multiple-passing main recreation since tossing 5 towards Edmonton in Week 8. If the sport performs as anticipated — the Ticats falling behind early and compelled to play catchup — then Mitchell can be poised to place up numbers increased than his projection of 13.3 FP. There’s threat right here, however the payoff is perhaps good-looking.
RUNNING BACK
Jamal Morrow, REDBLACKS, $5,000 wage (at Hamilton, Saturday)
The veteran again made his 2024 debut in Week 14, speeding for seven yards on two carries and catching his solely goal for six yards. Morrow rushed for 907 yards and 4 touchdowns with the Roughriders final season and handled an damage by the low season that restricted his free company choices.
He ought to see a bigger function this week and faces a Hamilton defence that has allowed 30.4 offensive factors per recreation, and an completed receiver out of the backfield who provides pivot Dru Brown ($12,000) a brand new weapon. He’ll simply prime his projection of 1.4 FP; with an elevated function it’s not a stretch to check Morrow with 10-12 FP.
RECEIVERS
Makai Polk, Argonauts, $2,500 wage (at BC, Friday)
Polk continues to brush with fantasy excellence. All that’s wanted is consistency.
A 17.5 FP efficiency in Week 14 marked the third time Polk has scored not less than 15 FP but has been unable to comply with up the subsequent week. In what must be a high-scoring affair, the Argos will want Polk and his big-play potential to commerce pictures with the Lions’ offence. He’s projected for 8.7 FP but when the passing recreation tilts in his route, a 13-15 FP is a robust chance.
Jalen Philpot, Stampeders, $7,500 wage (vs. Montreal, Saturday)
One other receiver who feels near a breakout, Philpot has scored 12.1 FP and 10.8 FP within the final two video games. He has had 5 video games of not less than 10 FP, and with the Stampeders attempting to hold onto playoff hopes, now can be a great time for Philpot to come back out and ship for fantasy gamers.
Dealing with a Montreal defence ranked second in fewest passing yards allowed will flip off some, but when the Stampeders can get Philpot concerned early, a 3rd straight recreation of double-digit fantasy manufacturing is powerful. He’s projected for 8.5 FP, but we expect he can end with not less than 12-14 FP.
