Places to Play:

110 Yards: 110yards.ca is your traditional fantasy football website where you play in a season-long league with your friends and players are drafted onto teams prior to the start of the season. They do support creating a league midway through the CFL season.

CFL Game Zone: gamezone.cfl.ca is the CFL’s site which includes weekly fantasy.

Draft Kings: Weekly and Daily fantasy games typically involving real money. Please be very responsible if you play here.

Quarterbacks: 

Vernon Adams Jr. QB vs SSK

Draft Kings Price: $12.7K

Game Zone Price: $13.5K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 81%

Last week Adams Jr. broke the BC Lions record for most 300+ yard passing games in a row as he has surpassed that amount in each of the last 7 games. The CFL record for most 300-yard passing games in a row is 9. BC has Dominique Rhymes returning this week in the receiving group.

Cody Fajardo (MTL) QB  at OTT

Draft Kings Price: $8.5K

Game Zone Price: $12K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 71%

Ottawa has allowed the most passing yards per game so far this season. Fajardo has been doing a better job lately spreading the ball around and I expect the veteran QB to dial it up as we go down the final stretch of the season.

Runningbacks: 

Devonte Williams (OTT) vs MTL

Draft Kings Price: $7.3K

Game Zone Price: $9K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 40%

Montreal has averaged 5.7 yards allowed per attempt heading into last week and Williams has gotten 17 or more carries in each of his last 3 games.

James Butler (BC) vs CGY

Draft Kings Price: $10.1K

Game Zone Price: $11K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 92%

Heading into last week Calgary had the worst yards per rush allowed averaging 5.9 yards per attempt.

Wide Receivers: 

The 5 highest-priced receivers on Draft Kings (Austin Mack, Keon Hatcher, Dalton Schoen, Tim Whtie) are great selections. Let’s look at some other players who could have big returns for low cost.

Tyson Philpot (MTL) at OTT

Draft Kings Price: $4K

Game Zone Price: $6K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 40%

Philpot is coming off a 12-point game against a stingy defense and is now going up against Ottawa who has struggled against the pass often this season.

Tyler Snead (MTL) at OTT

Draft Kings Price: $7.9K

Game Zone Price: $6.5K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 58%

Snead had 15 points last week and has averaged nearly 12 points per game. Montreal has a favorable matchup this week.

Reggie Begelton (CGY) @ HAM

Draft Kings Price: $10K

Game Zone Price: $11.5K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 88%

Heading into last week Hamilton had the 2nd most yards per pass at 9.8. Begelton is coming off a 30-point game last week.

Marken Michel (CGY) @ HAM

Draft Kings Price: $6.4K

Game Zone Price: $10K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 46%

It is a favorable matchup for Michel who has averaged 13.1 points per game in the last 4 games.

Kian Schaffer-Baker (SSK) vs. EDM

Draft Kings Price: $6.6K

Game Zone Price: $6K

110Yards Ownership Percentage: 65%

It is not a favorable matchup this week at BC. Schaffer-Baker is coming off a 20-point game in Ottawa and has seen his production steadily rising lately.
