3 GP, 15 Receptions, 237 Yards, and 5 touchdowns.
Dominique Rhymes only caught 3 of his 10 targets but 2 of them were touchdowns in week. He finished the day with 65 receiving yards in BC’s loss to Toronto in week 4.. BC will play against Montreal in week 5. After missing week 3 due to a foot injury, Rhymes looked good despite the low percentage of his targets being completed.
4 GP, 20 Receptions, 332 Yards, and 2 touchdowns.
Schoen was once again the most targeted receiver for Winnipeg. He caught 5 of his 8 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown.
3. Tim White, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Previous Ranking #WR3
3 GP, 16 Receptions, 258 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
Was on the bye week in
week 4. Hamilton will host Ottawa in week 5.4. Austin Mack, Montreal Alouettes, Previous Ranking WR#5
Mack caught 6 of his 11 targets for 115 yards in Montreal’s loss to Winnipeg. Montreal will play BC this Sunday. Mack continues to be one of the most targeted receivers in the CFL so far this season. He also leads the league in yards per game at 105.3.
5. Tevin Jones, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Previous Ranking WR#4
2 GP, 14 Receptions, 196 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
The roughriders were on
a bye in week 4. In week 5 they will play Edmonton.6. Reggie Begelton, Calgary Stampeders, Previous Ranking #WR6
2 GP, 14 Receptions, 182 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
Reggie Begelton was placed on the 6-game injured list prior to Calgary’s loss against Saskatchewan in week 2. He was activated this past Sunday. With the season-ending injury to Malik Henry, Begelton’s return to Calgary is much needed.
1 GP, 8 Receptions, 104 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
Hatcher’s first game of the season was a great performance as he led BC in catches and yards. He missed the first 3 games with a foot injury. In week 4 Hatcher caught 8 of his 10 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown.
8. Alexander Hollins, BC Lions, Previous Ranking #WR6
Hollins caught 3 of his 7 targets for 68 yards in BC’s loss to Toronto. Hollins was third in targets and yards in BC’s loss. His production could go down somewhat when Lucky Whitehead returns if all the other starters are healthy.
Kaion Julien-Grant had another massive performance catching all 6 of his targets for a team-leading 129 receiving yards. He had the biggest play of the game which was a 69-yard reception.
10. Nic Demski, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Previous Ranking #WR9
Did not play in Winnipeg’s win over Montreal in week 4. Winnipeg plays Calgary in week 5.
11. Duke Williams, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Previous Ranking #WR10
3 GP, 14 Receptions, 260 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
Was on the bye week in
week 4. Hamilton will host Ottawa in week 5.12. Shawn Bane, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Previous Ranking #WR11
3 GP, 15 Receptions, 245 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
On a bye in week 4. Saskatchewan will host Edmonton in week 5.
3 GP, 13 Receptions, 186 Yards, and 3 touchdowns.
On a bye in week 4. Saskatchewan will host Edmonton in week 5.
14. Tre Odoms-Dukes, Calgary Stampeders, Previous Ranking #WR7
3 GP, 14 Receptions, 192 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
On a bye in week 4. Cal
gary will travel to Winnipeg in week 5. With Reggie Begelton being reactivated from Calgary’s six-game injured list, Odoms-Dukes’ expected spike in production due to injuries will likely not be as significant of a factor as previously thought.15. Steven Dunbar Jr., Edmonton Elks, Previous Ranking #WR13
4 GP, 17 Receptions, 196 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
Dunbar Jr. caught 3 of his 6 targets for 19 yards.
Missed week 4 due to a hamstring injury. BC hosts Montreal in week 5.
17. Damonte Coxie, Toronto Argonauts, Previous Ranking #WR16
3 GP, 9 Receptions, 180 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
Coxie caught 2 of his 5 targets for 16 yards. Chad Kelly targetted all 5 of the starting receivers for Toronto between 4-6 times making it difficult to predict who the favorite targets are in Toronto. This is likely an indicator that he can go through his progressions quickly to find the open receiver.
Wolitarsky caught 3 of his 5 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. He has been a shark in the end zone so far this year.
19. Justin McInnis, BC Lions, Previous Ranking #21
4 GP, 14 Receptions, 231 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
McInnis was 2nd in yards and receptions for BC as he caught 4 of his 6 targets in week 4 for 81 yards. He will likely be the 5th most popular target in BC when all the receivers are healthy but it’s a really good top 5 they have.
1 GP, 6 Receptions, 74 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
I was excited to see him on the depth chart for his first CFL game after the dominant performances he had in the preseason. No receiver had more catches or receiving yards in the preseason. In his CFL debut, he had the most receiving yards in the game. Ffrench caught 6 of his 8 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown.
21. Cole Tucker, Calgary Stampeders, Previous Ranking #18
1 GP, 5 Receptions, 74 Yards, and 0 touchdowns.
On a bye in week 4. Cal
gary will travel to Winnipeg in week 5. Tucker’s importance will be very for Calgary moving forward due to the injuries to Reggie Begelton and Malik Henry.22. Devaris Daniels, Toronto Argonauts, Previous Ranking #WR23
3 GP, 7 Receptions, 99 Yards, and 1 touchdown.
Daniels caught 4 of his 5 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. He was tied for 2nd in catches and targets and was the only Toronto receiver to score a touchdown in week 4.
