Dustin Crum (OTT) QB vs Montreal
Draft Kings Price: $10.4K
Game Zone Price: $7.5K
Ownership Percentage: 62%
Dustin Crum did not play particularly well and looked rather predictable as outlined in my QB rankings article. Crum still picked up 82 rushing yards. A quarterback who can consistently pick up large rushing numbers holds pretty high fantasy value. Crum only his 3 CFL starts to his name and he is still growing as a passer.
Dane Evans (BC) QB @ Winnipeg
Draft Kings Price: $9.1K
Game Zone Price: $10K
Ownership Percentage: 35%
Dane Evans completed 25 of his 32 passes (78%) for 330 yards and 2 touchdowns against Edmonton. He was the only starting quarterback this past week to have a passing efficiency rating over 75 and he had 130.5. He played in place of an injured Vernon Adams Jr. who was limited in practice on Monday. If Adams is unable to go, Evans is a great budget option for your team and available in many 110 Yard leagues.
Taquan Mizzell (BC) RB @ WPG
Draft Kings Price: $8.1K
Game Zone Price: $13.5K
Ownership Percentage: 58%
He had the biggest day among running backs in the CFL in week 8 as he came back after missing 2 games due to an injury. He is only the 7th most expensive running back in draft kings this week.
William Stanback (MTL), RB @ HAM
Draft Kings Price: $8.4K
Game Zone Price: $9K
Ownership Percentage: 69%
Stanback is coming off his biggest game of the season. Montreal was noncommittal to the run thus far this season. Against Calgary, they ran the ball and voila the 2021 CFL all-star played great. Stanback is just the 6th most expensive running back on draft kings this week.
Kenny Lawler (WPG) WR vs BC
Draft Kings Price: $6K
Game Zone Price: $10K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 68%
Lawler missed the first 6 games due to an immigration issue. In his only game so far this season he had 16.3 fantasy points. He was the league leader in yards in 2021 and is reunited with Zach Collaros.
Reggie Begelton (CGY) WR vs TOR
Draft Kings Price: $8.7K
Game Zone Price: $13K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 85%
Begelton has been a start this season and is available at a discount. He is third in yards per game and yet is only the 10th most expensive receiver on draft kings.
Tevin Jones (SSK) WR vs Ottawa
Draft Kings Price: $8.6K
Game Zone Price: $13.6K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 70%
Jones has been consistently great this season. He has the highest points per game among receivers and is the 11th highest-priced receiver on draft kings.
Justin Hardy (OTT) WR @ SSK
Draft Kings Price: $8.1K
Game Zone Price: $11K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 60%
Hardy was the most targeted receiver for Ottawa last week. Dustin Crum is heading into his 4th career CFL start and there is a lot of potential in the Ottawa passing game.
Nate Behar (OTT) WR @ SSK
Draft Kings Price: $5.2K
Game Zone Price: $9.5K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 58%
Behar has been targetted 27 times over Dustin Crum’s 3 starts for Ottawa and has had some very productive games since Crum took over at QB for Ottawa.
Duke Williams (HAM) WR vs MTL
Draft Kings Price: $7.4K
Game Zone Price: $10.5K
110 Yards Ownership Percentage: 77%
Duke Williams has accounted for the majority of the Hamilton receiving yards yet is not priced high on draft kings.

Game Zone Price: $8K
Ownership Percentage: 29%
Philpot played his first game of the season in week 8. In his rookie season, he was the starter for the final 3 regular season games and 2 playoff games. He showed great growth over the season and finished the year with 8 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in Montreal’s playoff loss to Toronto.

Chad Kelly should be the #1 Fantasy Football pick as he is undefeated. Johnny Manziel is opening a new high-end bar at Texas A and M; he’s definatly not broke. The CFL should have him reinstated to play as he granted the CFL its highest TV ratings ever. Banning someone for life for failing to see a shrink seems a violation of player’s rights.

Manziel was very average when he played for Montreal. I was at one of the games he played in, and he was actually next to awful. His effect on ratings was more a blip resulting from curiosity than anything else. He has played in 10 games in nothing leagues in the past four years, and his statistics have progressively worsened over that time. He is also been on the record several times in the past year that he no longer has the interest in playing pro football that he once had. You can bellow all you want about the CFL reinstating him, but the CFL doesn’t want him, the CFL doesn’t need him, his best days are behind him, and he doesn’t really want to play anymore anyways.

Your right Michael, Manziel was awful during those early games. But he also was improving with each outing. The thing is, he didn’t quit, and if he was offered a good deal I think he’d return and make things interesting.
