Last week Tyson Philpot was targetted 13 times which was tied for the most targets in the league in week 5. Philpot had a monster game but it is without a doubt that Toronto will be preparing to defend particularly against him. This will likely result in some defensive weak spots being present to create opportunities for successful plays to other receivers on the team in this matchup.
5 Alouettes to Watch
#17 WR Cole Spieker
Spieker led the team in receiving yards in week 4 and had a touchdown last week. After Philpotβs monster game last week, he may find some opportunity for more big plays this week as the defense focuses on Philpot.
#11 Kaion Julien-Grant
KJG had a touchdown last week but as he caught 4 passes for 20 yards. He is second on the team in receiving yards currently and in receptions with 26 for 288 yards.
Beverette led the team in tackles last week with 9 including 3 for a loss. He currently leads the team in tackles with 34 and also has a sack, an interception, and 2 forced fumbles.
#94 DT Mustafa Johnson
Last week Toronto struggled to prevent pressure, particularly from the interior. Johnson is one of the best pressure generators in the CFL among interior defensive linemen and could cause major problems for Toronto this week.
#48 CB Kabion Ento
Kabion Ento has 8 tackles and an interception on the season. He does not always make it to the top of the stats sheet having only 8 tackles so far this season but itβs largely due to him not allowing receivers to get open.Β
#88 WR Rasheed Bailey
Bailey leads the team in receiving with 16 catches for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns so far this season.
#86 WR Damonte Coxie
Coxie led the team in receiving last week with 5 catches for 76 yards but he did have 2 drops including 1 that resulted in an interception. He will look to bounce back this week against a strong defense against the pass.
#67 LG Gregor Mackellar
Last week Mackellar had a tough week with frequent pressures going past him. He will look to bounce back this week but it wonβt be easy against the likes of Mustafa Johnson, Dylan Wynn, and Derek Wiggan.
Dennis will be making his first CFL start on Thursday. He played for the Philadelphia Stars in the USFL over the last 2 seasons where he recorded 54 solo tackles, 18 assisted tackles, 5 interceptions, and a touchdown.
#40 DT Robbie Smith
Last week Robbie Smith had 1 tackle which came on a run stop and had 7 quarterback pressures.
