Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers matchup.

Draftkings 111th Grey Cup CFL Player Selections

Zach Collaros, Quarterback, Winnipeg Blue Bombers $10,700

How important has quarterback Zach Collaros been to Winnipeg Blue Bombers offense this season? Let’s take a quick look at Collaros’s recent play on the football field to answer that question.

In the 13 games that quarterback Zach Collaros played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2024 CFL regular season, Collaros compiled 4,637 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns and 178 rushing yards.

Additionally, I like Zach Collaros’s matchup in this CFL game. Why? Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros draws a Toronto Argonauts defense that has had issues defending opposing quarterbacks this season. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of 18 games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, the Toronto Argonauts ranked a rather low seventh in total yards allowed to the quarterback position a game (278.3). Keep in mind that the CFL has nine teams in the entire league. Having stated that, being ranked seventh in any defensive category is not good.

In my opinion, quarterback Zach Collaros is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this week’s 111th Grey Cup game. For that specific reason, I am backing Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback Zach Collaros as a flex play for this one game Draftkings CFL Showdown contest.

Brady Olivera, Running Back, Winnipeg Blue Bombers $12,500

In addition to Zach Collaros, talented Winnipeg running back Brady Olivera has certainly been a key contributor to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offense in 2024. Let’s review Olivera’s game data from the 2024 CFL regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 13 games that running back Brady Olivera played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2024 CFL regular season, Olivera tallied a massive 1,472 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 59 receptions, 498 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 13 games that Brady Olivera has played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season, Olivera has averaged an impressive 17.1 Draftkings points a contest.

In conclusion, I fully expect talented Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Olivera to continue his outstanding play in the 111th Grey Cup on Sunday night.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well in this week’s 111th Grey Cup game (Draftkings price noted): Nick Arbuckle, Quarterback (Toronto Argonauts) $8,800: Kenny Lawler, Wide Receiver (Winnipeg Blue Bombers) $7,800: Damonte Coxie, Wide Receiver (Toronto Argonauts) $6,400: Janarion Grant, Wide Receiver (Toronto Argonauts) $5,800.

Captain-Dru Brown, Quarterback, Ottawa Redblacks $12,200

More recently, in the Ottawa Redblacks 41-27 victory over the Toronto Argonauts three weeks ago, Ottawa quarterback Dru Brown tallied a massive 349 passing yards and one passing touchdown,

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Redblacks win over the Argonauts just mentioned, Dru Brown compiled 21.4 Draftkings points. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I am looking for from a player that I select at the captain position for a Draftkings CFL Showdown contest.

In my opinion, Dru Brown is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this CFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Dru Brown at the captain position for this CFL slate.

Now that we have identified how Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo performed last season, let’s shift our focus to Fajardo’s play in 2024. In the ten games that Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo has played in the 2024 CFL regular season, Fajardo tallied 2,642 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, 233 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns.

In my opinion, Cody Fajardo’s Draftkings price of $8,800 presents the best fantasy value of any player on this slate. That low price allows you to stack Fajardo with other Alouettes offensive players.

I like Cody Fajardo’s chances of continuing to play quality football versus the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday night. For that specific reason, I am backing Montreal Alouettes quarterback at the flex position for this one game Draftkings CFL DFS contest.

I certainly like Zach Collaros’s matchup in this CFL contest. Why? Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros draws a Saskatchewan defense that has had issues defending opposing quarterbacks this season. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of 11 games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are ranked a rather low eighth in total opponent passing yards allowed a game (289.1). Keep in mind that the CFL has nine teams in the entire league. What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are not playing good defensive football entering this week’s contest with the Blue Bombers.

Brady Olivera, Running Back, Winnipeg Blue Bombers $12,900

In addition to Zach Collaros, talented Winnipeg running back Brady Olivera has certainly been a key contributor to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offense in 2024. Let’s review Olivera’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the Montreal Alouettes 23-20 victory over the Edmonton Els earlier this year, talented Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo accumulated 269 passing yards, two touchdowns, and added 27 rushing yards.

I certainly like Cody Fajardo’s matchup in this CFL contest. Why? Montreal quarterback Cody Fajardo draws an Edmonton Elks defense that has had issues defending opposing offenses all season. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of 11 games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, the Edmonton Els are ranked a dreadful ninth in total yards allowed to opposing offenses a game (393.7).

Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Dedrick Mills, RB (Calgary Stampeders) $9,000: Ryquell Armstead, RB (Ottawa Redblacks) $9,700: Reggie Begelton, WR (Calgary Stampeders) $11,200.

Prior to discussing my Draftkings picks for the BC Lions vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for the single game showdown contests.

For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate. Remember, once lineups lock you cannot swap players.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s BC Lions vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers matchup.

Draftkings CFL Player Selections

Vernon Adams Jr., QB $12,500

Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. was certainly the driving force behind the BC Lions success on the offensive side of the football in 2023. Having stated that, how did Adams Jr. perform from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Vernon Adam Jr.’s relevant key player game data from the 2023 CFL regular season to answer that question.

In the 14 games that quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. played for the BC Lions in the 2023 CFL regular season, Adams Jr. averaged an impressive 413.2 passing yards, 2.6 passing touchdowns, and 29.6 rushing yards a game.

Now that we have established how well Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. played last season, let’s turn our attention to how the veteran BC Lions signal caller is playing in 2024.

Through two games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, BC Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. is averaging a robust 320.1 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 20.5 rushing yards, and 0.5 rushing touchdowns a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, through two games played for the BC Lions this season, Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. is averaging 24.4 Draftkings points a game.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct players for your flex positions for a DFS showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) Draftkings contest. Keep that in mind as you determine which players to select as your flex plays for this one game Draftkings contest. For me, the obvious first choice at the flex position for this CFL Draftkings contest is BC Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.

Alexander Hollins, WR $10,200

It’s fair to say that BC Lions wide receiver Alex Hollins was targeted by Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. early and often during the 2023 CFL campaign. In 16 games played for the BC Lions in the 2023 CFL regular season, Lions wide receiver Alexander Hollins accumulated a robust 83 receptions, 1,243 receiving yards, and 9 receiving touchdowns.

Through two games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, BC Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. continues to target Lions wide receiver Alexander Hollins. In two games played for the BC Lions in the 2024 CFL season, Lions wide receiver Alexander Hollins has been targeted by Lions starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. a whopping 24 times. Of those 24 targets just noted, Hollins accumulated 16 receptions, 188 receiving yards, and 1 receiving touchdown.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Justin McInnis, WR (Lions) $7,000: Zach Collaros, QB (Blue Bombers) $11,900: Johnny Augustin, RB (Blue Bombers) $7,500.

Prior to discussing my Draftkings picks for the Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for the single game showdown contests.

For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate. Remember, once lineups lock you cannot swap players.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats matchup.

Draftkings CFL Player Selections

James Butler, RB $11,200

Talented Hamilton running back James Butler was certainly a key contributor to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offense in 2023. Having stated that, how did Butler perform from a statistical perspective last season? Let’s review James Butler’s relevant key player game data from the 2023 CFL regular season to answer that question.

In the 13 games that running back James Butler played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2023 CFL regular season, Butler accumulated a robust 1,182 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdowns, 57 receptions, and 477 receiving yards.

Last week, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats suffered a 27-12 loss to Montreal Alouettes. In that contest, Butler played rather well. More specifically, Butler accumulated a whopping 119 rushing yards in the Tiger-Cats loss to the defending champion Montreal Alouettes.

*It should be noted that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have officially listed running back James Butler as questionable for this week’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your Draftkings lineups for this one game DFS slate.

For the reasons just mentioned, I am backing Hamilton Tiger-Cats running back James Butler as a flex play for this Draftkings CFL DFS contest.

Shemar Bridges, WR $4,400

Upon the completion of the 2023 CFL season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats recognized that the team needed to add more depth at the wide receiver position. The team’s desire to add a quality wide receiver resulted in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats signing free agent wide receiver Shemar Bridges.

How well did Tiger-Cats wide receiver Shemar Bridges play in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats week one loss to the Alouettes? Shemar Brides accumulated seven receptions and 85 receiving yards in Hamilton’s loss to Montreal last week.

In my opinion, Hamilton Tiger-Cats wide receiver Shemar Bridges presents the best value of any player on this slate at the low Draftkings price of only $4,400.

Trevor Harris, QB $8,800

How important has Roughriders starting quarterback Trevor Harris been to this Saskatchewan Roughriders offense this CFL regular season? Let’s review Trevor Harris’s recent game data to answer that question.

In last week’s Saskatchewan Roughriders 29-21 win over the Edmonton Elks, Trevor Harris accumulated an impressive 305 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

Considering the increased importance of this week’s week 2 CFL game, I like Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris’s chances of playing at a high level versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

I fully expect Trevor Harris to continue his outstanding play on the football field in this week’s matchup versus a rather vulnerable Hamilton Tiger-Cats defense.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Bo Levi Mitchell, QB, (Hamilton) $13,300: Tim White, WR (Hamilton) $12,100: A.J. Ouellette, RB (Roughriders) $10,700.

Prior to discussing my Draftkings picks for the Montrel Alouettes vs. Edmonton Elks game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for the single game showdown contests.

For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate. Remember, once lineups lock you cannot swap players.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s Montreal Alouettes vs. Edmonton Elks matchup.

Draftkings CFL Player Selections

Cody Fajardo, QB $11,800

Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo was certainly the driving force behind the Montreal Alouettes successful 2023 campaign that resulted in a Grey Cup victory. Having stated that, how did Cody Fajardo perform from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Fajardo’s relevant key player game data from the 2023 CFL regular season to answer that question.

In the 18 games that quarterback Cody Fajardo played for the Montreal Alouettes in the 2023 CFL regular season, Fajardo accumulated an impressive 3,847 passing yards, 14 passing touchdowns, and 341 rushing yards.

More recently, in the Montreal Alouettes 28-24 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last week, Fajardo played rather well. More specifically, Fajardo accumulated 290 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in the Alouettes defeat of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

I also like Cody Fajardo’s matchup in this game. Why? Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo draws an Edmonton Elks defense that had issues defending the quarterback back position in the 2023 regular season. Upon the completion of 18 games in the 2023 CFL regular season, the Edmonton Elks ranked a rather low seventh in total passing yards allowed (376.5) a game to the quarterback back position. Let us not forget that the CFL has nine teams in the entire league. Clearly, being ranked seventh in any defensive category is not good.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct players for your flex positions for a DFS showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) Draftkings contest. Keep that in mind as you determine which players to select as your flex plays for this one game Draftkings contest. For me, the obvious first choice at the flex position for this CFL Draftkings contest is Montreal Aouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo.

Flex Plays

Tyson Philpot, WR $6,600

It’s fair to say that Montreal Alouettes receiver Tyson Philpot was targeted by Montreal quarterback Cody Fajardo early and often in the Alouettes week one win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. In last week’s win over the Blue Bombers, Montreal wide receiver Tyson Philpot accumulated a robust 10 receptions, 141 receiving yards, and 2 receiving touchdowns.

I noted earlier in this article that the Edmonton Elks struggled defending the pass last season. Having stated that, I think locking up Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo and wide receiver Tyson Philpot as flex plays is the smart way to attack this one game CFL slate.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): McLeod Bethel Thompson, QB (Elks) $14,000: Kurleigh Gittens Jr., WR (Elks) $6,700: Kevin Brown, RB (Elks) $9,200.

I also like Vernon Adams Jr.’s matchup in this game. Why? Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. draws a Toronto Argonauts defense that had issues defending the quarterback back position in the 2023 regular season. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of 18 games in the 2023 CFL regular season, the Toronto Argonauts ranked an abysmal eighth in total passing yards allowed (273.5) a game to the quarterback back position. Let us not forget that the CFL has nine teams in the entire league. Clearly, being ranked eighth in any defensive category is not good.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct players for your flex positions for a DFS showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) Draftkings contest.

Steven Dunbar Jr., WR $3,400

Upon the completion of the 2023 CFL season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats recognized that the team needed to add more depth at the wide receiver position. The team’s desire to add a quality wide receiver resulted in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats signing free agent wide receiver Steven Dunbar Jr.

How well did Steven Dunbar Jr. play last season? Steven Dunbar Jr. was a member of the Edmonton Elk in 2023. In ten games played for the Edmonton Elk last season, Dunbar Jr. accumulated a respectable 38 receptions, 528 receiving yards, and five receiving touchdowns.

In my opinion, Hamilton Tiger-Cats wide receiver Steven Dunbar Jr. presents the best value of any player on this slate at the low Draftkings price of only $3,400.
