Line: BC -4
O/U: 52.5 (-104)
Begin: William Stanback, RB, BC, $13,200 Wage
Stanback is on a large tear by opposing defences, and 21 p.c of CFL fantasy gamers benefit from the experience. Saturday’s 20-carry, 128-yard, one main produced 23.6 fantasy factors, his second straight recreation over 20 FP and his fifth consecutive contest with a minimum of 12.6 FP.
Count on the nice occasions to maintain rolling late Friday into Saturday morning out East as Stanback faces the Argos defence for the second time this season. He scored 13.5 FP in Week 1, and with the Lions offence discovering its stride underneath Nathan Rourke ($8,000), depend on Stanback, now main the league in speeding, to make it six straight (and 7 out of eight) video games of manufacturing as he enters Week 15 simply 62 yards shy of his third 1,000-yard season and his first since 2021.
Sit: David Ungerer III, WR, Toronto, $6,700 Wage
A scant variety of CFL fantasy gamers had Ungerer of their Week 14 lineup and had their religion rewarded with a season-best 22 FP within the loss to the REDBLACKS. It marked the third straight recreation Ungerer had a minimum of 11.6 FP as he has quietly staked his declare in Toronto’s pecking order of targets.
One other strong outing is feasible, but when the Argos get DaVaris Daniels ($10,000) off the one-game injured checklist, count on a lot of the 13 targets Ungerer had in Week 14 to move in Daniels’ route.
Ottawa (8-3-1) at Hamilton (3-9-0), Saturday, 3:00 PM
Line: Ottawa -4.5
O/U: 50.5 (-115)
Begin: Dominique Rhymes, WR, Ottawa, $9,000 Wage
Rhymes is beginning to surge on the proper time because the REDBLACKS proceed their eye-opening breakout marketing campaign. Rhymes has rebounded after scoring a mere 3.7 FP in Weeks 11-12, scoring 14.6 FP in Week 13 and a season-best 23.8 FP in Week 14. With the offence turning into extra comfy with Dru Brown ($12,000) at pivot, the veteran pass-catcher may have a superb alternative towards a Ticats defence that’s allowed 23 passing majors.
The Brown and Rhymes connection have mixed for 18 targets up to now two video games, with Rhymes pulling 14 of these for 184 yards and a landing. Justin Hardy ($10,200) stays the highest choice in Ottawa, but there are sufficient targets for Rhymes to proceed his latest spurt.
Sit: Shemar Bridges, WR Hamilton, $6,000 Wage
Maybe the open week helps Bridges return to his ordinary manufacturing after spending the earlier two video games scoring a mixed 6.3 FP on 4 catches for 23 yards. He has proven the power to bounce again after being an afterthought within the Ticats offence, scoring 18.6 FP towards Montreal in Week 9 after video games of 1.4 FP and 9 FP in Weeks 7-8.
Nonetheless, stacking up on Hamilton receivers isn’t a good suggestion contemplating they face an Ottawa staff that holds opposing pivots to a 90.3 QBR. That’s sufficient to ponder enjoying Tim White ($13,000) within the lineup, nevertheless it’s finest to keep away from Ticats receivers in any other case.
Montreal (10-2-0) at Calgary (4-8-0), Saturday, 7:00 PM
Line: Montreal -5.5
O/U: 49.5 (-110)

After lacking greater than a month, Mills returned to the Stamps backfield and scored 11.5 FP within the Week 14 loss to Edmonton, his fourth straight recreation with a minimum of 11.1 FP.
No matter who begins at quarterback, having Mills is a welcomed presence. Mills can alter a recreation as a runner or receiver, and he will get a strong matchup towards an Alouettes defence nonetheless reeling after William Stanback mauled them on Saturday. Exterior of Reggie Begelton ($13,300), Mills is probably the most constant Stampeder for fantasy gamers to depend on.
Sit: Reggie White Jr., WR, Montreal, $6,600 Wage
White has video games of twenty-two.1 FP (Week 3) and 21 FP (Week 8) however has been a fantasy nonfactor since his latter gem towards the Roughriders. Even with the Alouettes receiving corps rotating on and off the injured checklist, White has not been in a position to rating greater than 6.4 FP since Week 8.
Because the Als’ receiving unit turns into wholesome, White may proceed to be not more than a 2-4 goal performer. He’s proven the power to ship for fantasy gamers, however his latest numbers counsel in any other case.
