Injuries at quarterback have made the position top-heavy in Week 14. Most Fantasy owners will look in the direction of Winnipeg’s Matt Nichols ($12,850) and Toronto’s Ricky Ray ($10,538), yet there could be a potential bargain in Ottawa’s Ryan Lindley ($5,000), whose strong arm could be intriguing when the REDBLACKS meet the Blue Bombers in what could be a high-scoring game.
Saskatchewan’s Kevin Glenn ($11,191) should be ready to go for the big showdown against Calgary, yet Brandon Bridge ($7,206) – who is coming off a three-touchdown pass performance against Hamilton — is ranked in the Top 10 as a possible option if Glenn’s bruised hand remains an issue. Both Alouettes quarterbacks Darian Durant ($8,494) and Drew Willy ($5,000) are in play as the team is uncertain as to which one will get the nod against the Argonauts.

Andrew Harris comes off his bye week to reign atop the list of running banks as the Winnipeg dual-threat ($8,075) should be good for solid numbers against Ottawa. Calgary’s Jerome Messam is third ($6,943) despite taking a wicked hit in last week’s game against BC. Argos back James Wilder ($3,570) shoots from being ranked 16th to sixth in this week’s rankings following his 190-yard performance on the ground against the Eskimos.
Naaman Roosevelt ($7,623) is the top-salaried and most productive receiver as the Roughriders pass catcher looks to extend his touchdown streak to five games. Ottawa’s Greg Ellingson ($6,584) has been in a slump of sorts, but the addition of Lindley and his big arm could result in a big performance against Winnipeg. If Diontae Spencer ($7,403) is still returning kickoffs, he could be just as valuable to Fantasy owners.
The ranking of Marken Michel ($4,120) is no mistake. Ranked 11th this week, Michel is in position for a strong stretch run, as he finished with five catches for 95 yards and a major last week. His big play adds more diversity to Calgary’s offence.
