Ouellette\">AJ Ouellette<\/a> (ankle) was limited in Monday\u2019s practice. However, the defending Grey Cup champs shouldn\u2019t feel rushed in bringing back their workhorse, not after Conley showed he\u2019s up to the task in the Week 4 loss to Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Conley scored 12.9 Fantasy Points in his CFL debut, accounting for 59 yards and a major on nine touches from scrimmage. Averaging 6.2 yards per carry, Conley displayed his explosiveness on his 17-yard touchdown run and offers a level of game-altering skills that could lead to bigger numbers against the struggling REDBLACKS. Add Conley to your roster if Saskatchewan deems it necessary to give Ouelette another week to heal.<\/p>\n<p>KEELAN WHITE | RECEIVER | OTTAWA REDBLACKS<\/p>\n<p>After failing to record a reception on four targets in Week 3, Keelan White was one of the more productive fantasy performers in Week 4, scoring 24.2 Fantasy Points on six catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets. Ottawa\u2019s offence showed positive signs, scoring 29 of their 35 points after intermission as pivot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/jake-maier\/164480\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Jake Maier\">Jake Maier<\/a> passed for 336 yards and a trio of majors.<\/p>\n<p>White is averaging nearly seven targets per game, trailing only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/ayden-eberhardt\/167655\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Ayden Eberhardt\">Ayden Eberhardt<\/a> among REDBLACKS receivers. Don\u2019t bank on White equaling last week\u2019s numbers, but he should remain productive against a Saskatchewan defence that gave up 321 passing yards to Toronto\u2019s <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> last week. If you\u2019re up against it salary wise, White is a nice fit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>LARRY ROUNTREE III | RUNNING BACK | HAMILTON TIGER-CATS<\/p>\n<p>A once-dominant Winnipeg run defence has been sluggish coming out the gate, allowing 100-yard rushers in each of their first three games. Larry Rountree III was among the trio of backs, gashing the Blue Bombers for 124 yards in the Ticats\u2019 Week 2 win, finishing with 13.6 Fantasy Points.<\/p>\n<p>Rountree III is fourth in the league with 209 rushing yards entering Week 5. Hamilton\u2019s passing game remains the focal point of the offensive game plan, but while his yards per carry (4.2) could use some improvement, Rountree III will be good for at least 13-17 touches on Sunday. That\u2019s a workload that should result in double-digit fantasy numbers.<\/p>\n<p>JOSHUA CEPHUS | RECEIVER | EDMONTON ELKS<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a dart throw? Try Joshua Cephus, who shows signs of taking on a bigger role in an Elks\u2019 passing game that has yet to establish a solid pecking order. Cephus caught six of his nine targets for 51 yards in Week 4, finishing with a season-best 11.1 Fantasy Points, as only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/kaion-julien-grant\/164871\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Kaion Julien-Grant\">Kaion Julien-Grant<\/a>\u2019s 14.4 FP topped the Edmonton receiving corps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/cody-fajardo\/160140\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Cody Fajardo\">Cody Fajardo<\/a>\u00a0gets his turn against BC\u2019s struggling pass defence on Saturday. There\u2019s some risk in generating an Elks stack but pairing Fajardo with a low-salaried receiver like Cephus has enough intrigue to make the latter a low-end fantasy steal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DANIEL WIEBE | RECEIVER | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s close the way we started, by looking at a Riders player who has made the most of his opportunity. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/daniel-wiebe\/182853\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Daniel Wiebe\">Daniel Wiebe<\/a> had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/mitchell-picton\/163187\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Mitchell Picton\">Mitchell Picton<\/a> vibe to him in Week 4, catching two of his three targets for 48 yards and a major in his CFL debut. Injuries ushered Wiebe into the lineup, and with Saskatchewan\u2019s receivers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/samuel-emilus\/166979\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Samuel Emilus\">Samuel Emilus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/kian-schaffer-baker\/165755\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Kian Schaffer-Baker\">Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a>, Jaylen Johnson, Dhel Duncan-Busby, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/james-letcher-jr\/167576\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"James Letcher Jr.\">James Letcher Jr.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/2026\/06\/29\/cfl-injury-reports-week-5-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">all sidelined for Monday\u2019s practice<\/a>, chances are exceptionally good Wiebe will see an uptick in snaps.<\/p>\n<p>If Wiebe is atop the depth chart on Thursday, he\u2019s a must-add. If he can duplicate his 12.8 Fantasy Points in Week 4, his salary and production will give fantasy users a level of freedom to add another high-salaried player to their rosters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sure, Tyler Kahmann remains a bargain, but the secret\u2019s out on the Toronto receiver: he\u2019s rather good for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-773695","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\/773695","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=773695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
