Week 16 Fantasy Locks: Believing in Bo

TORONTO — Mike Reilly is once again the top projected quarterback in Week 16, but it’s his Alberta counterpart turning heads in TSN CFL Fantasy this

With a salary of $10,027, Bo Levi Mitchell is the hot pick at the quarterback position, a trend that the CFL Fantasy Podcast trio can get behind going into the new week.

Mitchell, at a projected 26.54 points, has the second-highest expected output for Week 16, going into a matchup with a struggling Argos defence.

“The Stampeders coming off the bye — they’re historically so good off the bye — at McMahon Stadium, and going up against an Argos secondary that is allowing more than 300 yards per game,” said Pat Steinberg. “At quarterback he is one of the best choices for Week 16.”

Steinberg along with Jeff Krever and Hannah Nordman offered up their Fantasy locks for Week 16, led by Mitchell and a couple of other unexpected selections.

While Pat is going tried and true with Mitchell, Hannah is going off the beaten path with Lions quarterback Jonathon Jennings. She liked what she saw in Jennings’ breakout game a week ago, and believes more is in store for the 26-year-old.

“He proved a lot last weekend, and I know they’re moving back to Tim Hortons Field but I liked what I saw for a guy getting his first full start in a long time,” said Nordman. “I think he’s going to put up something reminiscent of that. I’m going all in on JJ this week.”

Krever, on the other hand, likes a different Lions offensive threat who also happens to have the same initials. He’s going with Jeremiah Johnson, who gets the start just days after the club acquired Tyrell Sutton in a trade with the Alouettes.

“The usage needs to go up, the BC Lions need to run the football and who better to do it than Johnson?” said Krever. “He has not gotten the volume we’re accustomed to this season but they need to run it against the Ticats to have a chance to win this game.

“This is a player that’s going to be a little bit motivated. We know they just got Tyrell Sutton. He’s probably feeling a little bit slighted by that. I think Johnson goes into this game with a chip on his shoulder.”
