Dominique Rhyme
s caught 2 of his 2 targets for 37 yards in the win against Montreal. With Hatcher and Whitehead now both being healthy there is a lot of talent for the ball to be spread around so Rhymes’ target load could possibly decrease.

4 GP, 19 Receptions, 236 Yards, and 1 Touchdown
Tre Odoms-Dukes
caught 5 of his 11 targets for 44 yards. The high target load could be a sign of an increase in production to come as Calgary comes off a tough passing day against Winnipeg. Calgary will need players to step into bigger roles and Malik Henry is out for the rest of the season.

5 GP, 23 Receptions, 294 Yards, and 1 Touchdown
Hollins caught 1 of his 2 targets for 12 yards. With BC now having a healthy receiver room Hollins may see a dip in production.
