Every week RFTW will roll out its fantasy football picks. You can play CFL fantasy football here. Week eight picks are here. Each week we’ll break it down like this:
The best picks from Week 8 – Starting: Kerry Joseph, Geroy Simon. Benching: Tyler Ebell. Worst: Benching Smilin Hank.
Huge Week
QB – Kevin Glenn: With only two games this week, Glenn seems to have a good match-up against the depleted Argos.
RB – Jesse Lumsden: A must have RB every week. The kid is a monster.
R – Ben Cahoon: He’ll finally get some end zone love this week.
DEF – Winnipeg: Rocky Butler + new starting tailback + the East’s best defensive = turnovers.
Zzzzz (Sleepers)
QB – Jason Maas: He’s been down a lot this year but needs a big performance to get his team a win and on the right track.
RB – Robert Edwards: No one is expecting much from Edwards but he’ll be playing with a gynormous chip on his shoulder.
R - Chris Bauman: The number one overall pick should benefit from the presence of new wide-out Jason Armstead.
DEF - Hamilton: The D was huge inits first and only win and will need to hit the repeat button.
Bench Splinters
QB – Rocky Butler: See above.
RB – Any second stringer: All of the starters this week (Edwards) are entrenched in their roles at the moment.
R – Jason Armstead: Not in town long enough to learn a new offence. Should be good on returns though.
DEF - Toronto: We don’t like the match-up this week.
