Rivalry weekend has arrived in the CFL, and Monday's matchup at McMahon Stadium is set to be another disappointing outing for one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Rivalry weekend has arrived in the CFL, and Monday's matchup at McMahon Stadium is set to be another disappointing outing for one of the highest-paid players in the league. Trevor Knapp breaks it all down below in his latest expert analysis.When wide receiver Eugene Lewis signed a massive contract with the Edmonton Elks last year, expectations were that the former Oklahoma Sooner would elevate Edmonton's offense. However, heading into Year 2, things haven't gone as planned.
A two-time CFL All-Star who led the league in receiving with 1,303 yards back in 2022 with Montreal, Lewis failed to eclipse 1,000 yards in his first season with Edmonton, finding the endzone just three times. Although Leake is returning from injury and is now slated as the team's kickoff returner, his blazing speed will add another dimension to Jarious Jackson's offense. With McLeod Bethel-Thompson averaging only 28 passing attempts over his last two starts, expect production to remain few and far between for Lewis. Along with our best bet, let's take Jake Maier to eclipse his passing yards total against a shaky Edmonton defense.
