TORONTO \u2014 During the off-season, several CFL players were asked to identify quarterbacks they expected to be strong options in CFL Fantasy presented by theScore Bet.<\/p>\n

Three weeks into the season, those predictions are looking pretty good.<\/p>\n

From established veterans to rising stars, the quarterbacks selected by their peers have helped drive some of the CFL\u2019s most productive offences through the opening weeks of 2026. As Week 4 approaches, here\u2019s a look at three quarterback endorsements from the off-season and how those picks have held up so far.<\/p>\n

DAVIS ALEXANDER | MONTREAL ALOUETTES<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked to identify a quarterback fantasy managers should keep an eye on, Calgary Stampeders receiver Jalen Philpot pointed to Montreal\u2019s Davis Alexander<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go Davis Alexander,<\/a>\u201d said Philpot. \u201cHe\u2019s mobile, he can throw the deep ball and they\u2019ve got some great receivers over there. I think he\u2019s always a solid lock to put up 20 or 30 points every week. He does a lot for that offence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three weeks into the season, Philpot\u2019s prediction has aged extremely well. Alexander enters Week 4 as the highest-scoring quarterback in CFL Fantasy presented by theScore Bet with 66.3 fantasy points. He\u2019s also thrown for a league-leading 1,133 yards while adding five touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

Alexander\u2019s chemistry with Philpot\u2019s brother Tyson has been a major factor in that success. The pair have connected for a number of explosive plays, helping Montreal remain one of the CFL\u2019s most dangerous offensive teams and Tyson score a league-high 80.9 fantasy points. Even after suffering the first regular-season loss of his career in Week 3, Alexander continues to be one of the safest fantasy options available.<\/p>\n

TREVOR HARRIS | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan Roughriders running back AJ Ouellette\u2019s endorsement of Trevor Harris<\/a> came with a little more personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevor\u2019s been putting in work,\u201d said Ouellette with a grin.\u201d He\u2019s gained some muscle this off-season. He looks like a person you don\u2019t want to see in a dark alley. He\u2019s found the weight room, so I\u2019m expecting him to truck some linebackers, hurdle some safeties and make some plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Harris hasn\u2019t been running over defenders on his way to the end zone, Ouellette\u2019s confidence in his quarterback appears well founded.<\/p>\n

The veteran enters Week 4 with 53 fantasy points despite playing only two games. Harris has thrown for 766 yards and six touchdowns while helping Saskatchewan open the season with a perfect 2-0 record. His efficiency has been equally impressive, as the Roughriders continue to get big contributions from one of the CFL\u2019s deepest receiving groups.<\/p>\n

The rushing touchdowns Ouellette envisioned haven\u2019t materialized yet, but Harris has had no problem generating fantasy production through the air.<\/p>\n

CODY FAJARDO | EDMONTON ELKS<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Edmonton Elks running back Justin Rankin didn\u2019t need many words when it came time to make his quarterback selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cC7. The man, the myth, the legend. Cody Fajardo,<\/a>\u201d said the tailback.<\/p>\n

Given Edmonton\u2019s start to the season, it\u2019s hard to argue with the choice.<\/p>\n

Fajardo enters Week 4 with 34.1 fantasy points after throwing for 497 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games. More importantly, Edmonton has won both contests, including a Week 3 victory over Montreal that immediately grabbed the attention of the rest of the league.<\/p>\n

The endorsement becomes even more interesting when you consider who\u2019s giving it. Rankin has been the second most productive fantasy player in the CFL through the opening weeks of the season, racking up 70.6 fantasy points and nearly 500 yards from scrimmage in just two games.<\/p>\n

With Rankin dominating on the ground and Fajardo providing steady production under centre, Edmonton\u2019s offence has quickly become one of the most intriguing units in CFL Fantasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2014 During the off-season, several CFL players were asked to identify quarterbacks they expected to be strong…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":755015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-755014","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\/755014","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=755014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/755015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
