Edmonton rolls into Toronto on a four-game heater while Ottawa tries to avoid history at 0-13 in Calgary.<\/p>\n
This Week’s CFL Schedule<\/p>\n
Edmonton Elks<\/a> at Toronto Argonauts<\/a><\/p>\n WhenSaturday, September 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET Edmonton has won four of five and just finished off a home-and-home sweep of Calgary, including a 53-16 demolition last week. The Elks haven’t won five straight since 2017, and they hammered this same Toronto squad 42-12 back in Week 11 \u2014 but the Argonauts have won three straight at BMO Field and are undefeated there this season, so home cooking matters here. Cody Fajardo makes his 100th career start (59-39-1) sitting just 219 yards from his second 4,000-yard season, while Chad Kelly is coming off his fourth 400-yard passing game of the year trying to keep Toronto’s building playoff push alive.<\/p>\n Players to Watch:<\/p>\n Cody Fajardo (Edmonton Elks, QB) \u2014 6-7 career against Toronto but riding a hot streak, closing in on 4,000 yards for the second time. Injury Watch:<\/p>\n Gavin Meyer (Edmonton Elks, DL) \u2014 Single game injury. Pick: Edmonton Elks 31-24. The Elks are 7-5 against the spread and have their number heading into this one after the Week 11 blowout \u2014 Toronto’s home mojo helps keep it close, but Fajardo and Ford lead Edmonton to its fifth straight win.<\/p>\n Ottawa Redblacks<\/a> at Calgary Stampeders<\/a><\/p>\n WhenSaturday, September 19, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET Ottawa is 0-12 and has dropped five straight, but there’s an odd wrinkle here \u2014 the Redblacks swept this exact season series a year ago. That history means nothing right now with McLeod Bethel-Thompson making his first start of the season for Ottawa, a QB who’s a career 4-5 against Calgary. The Stampeders are reeling too, having dropped four of five including back-to-back blowout losses to Edmonton, and they’re 0-4 in games decided by four points or fewer this season, so this isn’t the auto-win the spread suggests.<\/p>\n Players to Watch:<\/p>\n Vernon Adams (Calgary Stampeders, QB) \u2014 6-2 for his career against Ottawa and sitting on 25 touchdown passes, six shy of his career best. Injury Watch:<\/p>\n Dedrick Mills (Calgary Stampeders, RB) \u2014 Six game injury, a big loss for the Calgary run game. Pick: Calgary Stampeders 34-17. Losing Dedrick Mills for six games stings, but Ottawa’s defense has allowed the most points in the league by a wide margin, and Vernon Adams should have enough at home to snap Calgary’s skid against a winless opponent.<\/p>\n CFL Standings<\/p>\n TeamWLPFPA<\/p>\n Montreal Alouettes113498410 Quick Hits<\/p>\n Toronto activated Alexander Teubner from single-game injury and Tristan Ready off the practice roster ahead of the Edmonton clash, giving Chad Kelly some fresh bodies to work with.

\nLosing Dedrick Mills to a six-game injury is a real blow for Calgary \u2014 he’s their leading rusher with 943 yards and now the Stampeders lean harder on Vernon Adams and Jalen Philpot through the air.
\nFantasy angle: David Ungerer III is a must-start against Edmonton after his career-high 175-yard outburst, with a real shot at his first 1,000-yard season this weekend.
\nOttawa hands the offense to McLeod Bethel-Thompson for his first start of the year, a big test against a Calgary defense fronted by league sack leader Clarence Hicks.<\/p>\n
