Argos sail up Nissan Titan Power Rankings

Johany Jutras/CFL.ca

TORONTO — A win in Week 13 against the Edmonton Eskimos snapped the Toronto Argonauts’ two-game losing skid and pulled themselves within one point of the top spot in the East Division.

James Wilder Jr. racked up over 200 all-purpose yards and his first career CFL touchdown in his team’s win, helping to move Toronto up three spots in the Power Rankings.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders also moved up after a win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats thanks to an impressive performance from Canadian quarterback Brandon Bridge, but where did the rest land?

The Stampeders are pulling away from the rest of the pack in the West Division. After a win over the BC Lions last week, they now hold a five-point lead over the Bombers for the top spot. The team heads to Saskatchewan to take on the Riders this week looking to increase that lead.

This Week: 2 | Last Week: 2

Winnipeg is coming off of a Week 13 bye and will be ready to keep the momentum from its win over the Riders from Week 12 going. The Bombers will host the REDBLACKS this week and will have a chance to take advantage of a team without their starting quarterback.

This Week: 3 | Last Week: 4

Brandon Bridge had an excellent outing for the Riders in Week 13, helping his team defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Riders are now tied in points with the Lions as the fight for the crossover playoff spot is neck and neck. This week, Saskatchewan will take on the Stampeders hoping to be the team to snap Calgary’s winning streak.

This Week: 4 | Last Week: 7

Toronto jumped three spots in the rankings this week after defeating the Edmonton Eskimos at home. They sit just one point behind the REDBLACKS in the East and getting a win over the Montreal Alouettes this week is important if they want to take over that top spot.

This Week: 5 | Last Week: 3

Since starting the season 7-0, the Eskimos have dropped their last five contests. Maybe it’s the injuries catching up to them or maybe they’ve just hit a chord of bad luck but whatever it is, they’ll have a week off to find a way to fix it. Edmonton heads into a Week 14 bye before returning in Week 15 to take on the Blue Bombers.

This Week: 6 | Last Week: 5

The Lions dropped its Week 13 contest against the Calgary Stampeders and will be looking to get back in the win column this week as they host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

This Week: 7 | Last Week: 6

Drew Tate became the next quarterback on the REDBLACKS roster to get hurt and with the extent of the injury unknown, it could be Ryan Lindley to take the reins for the time being. If Lindley does start this week, he’ll have a tough defence to face in Winnipeg as first place in the East is on the line.

This Week: 8 | Last Week: 8

The Ticats added two Canadian receivers to their lineup this week – they traded for Shamawd Chambers from Edmonton and signed Andy Fantuz to a practice roster agreement. While it’s uncertain when Fantuz will be ready to return, it’s a good sign for the Ticats who could use their star receiver back on the field.

This Week: 9 | Last Week: 9

Although Drew Willy replaced Darian Durant in last week’s contest against the REDBLACKS, interim head coach Kavis Reed said that Durant will start this week against Toronto.
