Canadian Fantasy Football (CFL) can be incredibly lucrative if you know how to manipulate the roster requirements and scoring. Daily fantasy players (with little experience) can profit quickly with just some basic information because very little is written about CFL inside the industry. My name is DFS Spreadsheets (@dfs_spreadsheet on Twitter) I’m a data analyst by trade, and love digging into the intricacies that give our players advantages no one else can deliver.

CFL DFS Week Four – Quick Glance
I have now added Draftkings projections into our CFL Research Station. A lot can happen in a week for Canadian fantasy football. I won’t be updating this article with any roster changes etc but will be providing updates in our Discord channels.

Hamilton @ Montreal
Hamilton has struggled early and are coming off of a bye week, maybe they can turn things around. They are 5-4 over their past nine road games and are giving up the second most Draftkings points per game to QB on this three game slate.
Montreal looked great in their first game and fell flat in their second losing to rookie QB Jake Maier and allowed over 300 passing yards.
Going For Two
In this section I will identify two of my top CFL plays from each game based on a couple of metrics that I have created (full Value and Ratings data is available to our VIPS in my weekly cheat sheet and Research Station:
- Value: Player data and performance from multiple categories weighted against the player’s weekly Draftkings salary
- Rating: A metric that measures how a player ranks in various categories vs players of the same position
- Vernon Adams QB Montreal
- William Stanback RB Montreal
BC @ Ottawa
BC is 3-6 in their past 9 away games but they have averaged over 111 yards rushing during that time. Ottawa is allowing the 2nd most Draftkings points to RB on the slate.
Not too much to like about Ottawa. They are 1-8 in their past 9 home games and are only averaging 19 points per game in those games. BC is allowing the most Draftkings points to RB on the slate. Maybe the REDBLACKS will look to get the ground game going.
Going For Two
- Lucky Whitehead WR BC
- R.J. Harris WR Ottawa
Calgary @ Winnipeg
Rookie QB Jake Maier got the start for Calgary last week and put up over 300 passing yards and picked up the win over Montreal. This week will be a tougher test as he faces the dominating Blue Bombers defence.
Winnipeg is 8-1 in their past nine home games. Calgary is giving up the most Draftkings points to WR and QB on the slate.
Going For Two
- Kenny Lawler WR Winnipeg
- Zach Collaros QB Winnipeg

I have added some new features to the CFL Research Station including Draftkings projections, ownership and points by player and week. We have all of the data you need (and won’t find anywhere else) to make informed decisions for your CFL lineups.
Here is a sample from our Research Station that shows how each team stacks up vs their opponent using home/away historical data:
