NATHAN ROURKE | BC LIONS | $15,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">Was there any doubt as to who would be atop this week\u2019s rankings? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/nathan-rourke\/165740\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Nathan Rourke\">Nathan Rourke<\/a> and the Lions will face a salty Roughriders defence, but in two regular season matchups in 2025, Rourke accumulated 705 passing yards and a 6:2 TD:INT margin. He only recorded two rushing attempts, yet we can\u2019t all be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>2. DAVIS ALEXANDER | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | $14,500<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/davis-alexander\/165844\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Davis Alexander\">Davis Alexander<\/a> won\u2019t need long to discover how improved the Argos\u2019 defence is from last season. Coming off 21.2 Fantasy Points in Week 1, a 25 FP outing feels reasonable, while 30+ FP isn\u2019t too far of a stretch. At the very least, Alexander should have his second game of multiple passing majors in as many starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">3. BO LEVI MITCHELL | HAMILTON TIGER-CATS | $14,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">The yardage (307) was there in Week 1. However, the touchdowns were not, as all but seven of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/bo-levi-mitchell\/158222\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Bo Levi Mitchell\">Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a>\u2019s 39 pass attempts were from the 0-9 yard variety. The Blue Bombers allowed two completions of better than 20 yards in depth in Week 1, and there is no way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/kenny-lawler\/163693\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Kenny Lawler\">Kenny Lawler<\/a> goes a full 60 minutes without hitting his former teammates with at least one or two big plays.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>RUNNING BACK<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">1. BRADY OLIVEIRA | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS | $14,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/brady-oliveira\/164872\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Brady Oliveira\">Brady Oliveira<\/a> scored a touchdown in Week 1. Think about that, longtime CFL Weekly Fantasy users. The one chink in Oliveira\u2019s armour was always the lack of majors. If he\u2019s cracked the code to finding the end zone on a regular basis, the 17.7 projected Fantasy Points he\u2019s lined up for Week 2 are going to feel very, very conservative.<\/p>\n<p>2. JAMES BUTLER | BC LIONS | $14,500<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/james-butler\/164855\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"James Butler\">James Butler<\/a> had a 123-yard, one-TD performance against the Riders in Week 4 of last season, yet was held to 57 yards on 17 carries in the final two regular season matchups. New season, clean slate, so focus on what Butler does better than most in the CFL: score touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>3. AJ OUELLETTE | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS | $14,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">Looking for a third 1,000-yard campaign in four seasons, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/a-j-ouellette\/165219\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"A.J. Ouellette\">A.J. Ouellette<\/a> has also scored 22 touchdowns in the same span. Keep an eye on his receiving prowess, as Ouellette comes off a career-best 35 catches in 2025 and has the upside to fall into the range of 45-50 receptions this season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>RECEIVER<\/p>\n<p>1. KEON HATCHER SR. | BC LIONS | $15,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">Most of us would gladly spend more to have Keon Hatcher Sr. in our lineups. Another huge season takes off on Saturday, with Hatcher set to receive a steady stream of targets while making life miserable for the Riders\u2019 pass defence. Just like old times, right?<\/p>\n<p>2. KENNY LAWLER | HAMILTON TIGER-CATS | $13,600<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">Redemption for those sticking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/kenny-lawler\/163693\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Kenny Lawler\">Kenny Lawler<\/a> comes on Thursday. There was something unpleasant about his 9.8 Fantasy Points in Week 1. Most receivers might have been content with those numbers, but Lawler isn\u2019t most receivers.<\/p>\n<p>3. TYSON PHILPOT | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | $13,500<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">The quality of receivers we left out\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/tyson-philpot\/166981\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Tyson Philpot\">Tyson Philpot<\/a> takes the final spot because you know he\u2019s going to get looks near the goal line, and as good as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/tyler-snead\/167310\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Tyler Snead\">Tyler Snead<\/a> was in Week 1, the sky feels unlimited for Philpot against Toronto\u2019s pass defence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DEFENCES<\/p>\n<p>1. MONTREAL | $10,100<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">The Als recorded a pick-six in Week 1 and could see a bevy of turnovers if they press <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/chad-kelly\/161801\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Chad Kelly\">Chad Kelly<\/a> early and often.<\/p>\n<p>2. WINNIPEG | $9,800<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">Playing in front of a potentially sold-out audience might be the perk the Bombers need to better last week\u2019s total of 5 FP.<\/p>\n<p>3. SASKATCHEWAN | $8,400<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\">The defending champs have more than enough defensive playmakers to assure the Riders will put up respectable numbers as they begin defence of the 112th Grey Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is plenty of time between now and kickoff of Week 2 to set your CFL Weekly Fantasy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":732068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-732067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
