Ouellette has rushed 63 times for 288 yards this season and has been a key part of Saskatchewan\u2019s ground game. With Ouellette unavailable, tailback Quali Conley could once again see an increased workload after filling in during his previous absence earlier this season. The Roughriders will release their depth chart on Friday, when the team\u2019s starter at running back will be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Emilus, meanwhile, ranks among the CFL\u2019s top receivers with 31 catches for 448 yards and five touchdowns through eight weeks. Should he be unavailable, Saskatchewan would still have plenty of firepower with Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a> and KeeSean Johnson leading the receiving corps.<\/p>\n

The Roughriders and Elks meet in a heavyweight rematch on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Canadian fans can catch the game on TSN. U.S. audiences can tune in on CBSSN, while International fans can watch on CFL+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"REGINA \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders could be without two key offensive contributors when they visit the Edmonton Elks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":837002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-837001","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\/837001","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=837001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
