\"QUARTERBACK\"<\/a><\/p>\n

McManis\u2019 performance \u2013 and his defensive teammates \u2013 also helped fantasy owners come away with wins in their respective matchups by finishing as the top defence in CFL Fantasy in Week 15 with 12 fantasy points.<\/p>\n

Andrew Chatfield Jr.\u2019s scoop-and-score late in the fourth quarter was the catalyst to such performance, something that McManis foresaw on a chat with CFL.ca before the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Argos defence\u00a0is gonna score a lot of points,\u201d said the linebacker. \u201cYou don\u2019t get that from a lot of different teams. (We) have a lot of playmakers at a lot of different positions, and they could come from anywhere. We pride ourselves on being a team or a defence that could change the game and control the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was the fifth time that the Argos defence scored in the double digits in CFL Fantasy, having previously done so in Week 4 (16 FP vs. OTT), Week 8 (10 FP vs. WPG), Week 9 (13 FP vs. WPG), and Week 12 (11 FP vs. BC). Toronto entered Week 15 second in sacks with 30 and added five more quarterback takedowns against the Elks.<\/p>\n

McManis is confident that the Boatmen \u2013 and himself \u2013 will remain a solid fantasy play going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as Mr. Great Business is in the 48 there, you can kind of count on us being one of the top defences in the league,\u201d finished McManis.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s defence gets back on the field in Week 16 against the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, September 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2014 Are you having trouble choosing your defence in CFL Fantasy presented by ToonieBet?
