Running back will be a challenging position in Week 6, and it’s not just because the Ottawa duo of William Powell and Mossis Madu are on a bye week. Injuries impact the position, as the status of Montreal’s Tyrell Sutton ($7,030) and Toronto’s Brandon Whitaker ($6,237) remain in doubt.
The position does get a boost now that Calgary’s Jerome Messam ($6,965) emphatically informed opposing defences that his slow start is a thing of the past following his 19.4 Fantasy point outing in a Week 5 win over Saskatchewan. BC’s Jeremiah Johnson ($8,355) is the only back that has hit double-digits in each of the first five weeks of the season and should keep that streak alive against winless Hamilton.
Stamps pivot Bo Levi Mitchell ($11,687) will bounce back from his season-low 253-yard outing in the win over the Roughriders and put up impressive numbers against a Ticats defence ranked last in the league in yards allowed. Travis Lulay ($5,829) should remain a popular option for Fantasy players as it appears he is in line for a second straight start as BC meets Edmonton in a rematch of the Week 1 nailbiter that saw Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly ($13,518) throw for 315 yards and two majors.
