2ND SEASON

Last season was the just the tip of the iceberg for
Toliver, who quietly became one of the most
exciting players to watch on Hamilton. After
Luke Tasker, he will be the number two target
this season. Most of his yards are along the rail,
proving that his concentration and balance are
up with the some of the leagues best. He will be
a household name by the end of the season.
THE BALD TRUTH: If hes still around when you
are picking lower than your third receiver, jump
all over him.

EDMONTON ESKIMOS
Hands down the most debated defensive unit heading
into the 2016 season. Chris Jones is gone, as is a host
of key players, including McCoil, Grymes, and Foster.
Incoming, along with new head coach Jason Maas, is
Mike Benevides as defensive coordinator.
THE BALD TRUTH: Benevides will guide the defense in
a similar fashion to Jones and, with a lot of veterans
returning, they should not miss a beat. For many
players, particularly a couple on the line, this season
could be the end with a new look coming in 2017.

HAMILTON TIGER-CATS
The Tabbies tied for tops in INTs and third in passing yards in 2015, yet gave
up their share of TD passes. Of course, there was one key TD pass they would
like to have back. Kent Austin, because of injuries and free agency, is forced to
make changes. Three starters are gone along the line, two LBs, and two
starting DBs. The good news is they now have John Chick, plus young talents
like Alex Hoffman-Ellis and Adrian Tracy.
THE BALD TRUTH: D Coordinator Orlondo Steinhauer has done a tremendous
job in his first three seasons and will use the athleticism of the young players
to dominate. If this defense alone doesnt excite you, there is also the special
teams with Brandon Banks and his electrifying returns. A strong fantasy play.

CALGARY STAMPEDERS
A usually active, frustrating, and pick-happy unit, this group was also first in
TDs surrendered last year. That was then, this is now. Head Coach John
Hufnagel is now just GM and Rich Stubler left for Toronto. In are Dave
Dickenson as coach and DeVone Claybrooks as coordinator. The team lost
talent and leadership on the field in the offseason and may have a new look.
THE BALD TRUTH: Even though there was plenty of turnover, this will still be
older group, with four of its five expected secondary starters being over 30.
Overall, they will still make plays but, unfortunately, they will give up big yards
and be on the field for a long time.

TORONTO ARGONAUTS
No one expected the Argos to keep pace in 2015 in the East, but young stars
sprouted up all over the defense, and they earned a spot in the East Semi.
Their secondary remains virtually untouched, they added vet Keon Raymond
to the LB group, and three arrive on the line. Most notably, Rich Stubler takes
over as coordinator and will add new wrinkles with an active group.
THE BALD TRUTH: The stat line will read regularly of multiple interceptions,
double digit tackle games, and plenty of forced fumbles. Unfortunately, they
will still give up yards and big points, and lose games.

MONTREAL ALOUETTES
The team you want to ignore. Look at last years stats and you see middle of
the road in every single defensive category. But you should not ignore them.
This is a better group immediately with the return of Solomon Elimimian, just
by his presence alone. Couple that with that they have young, hungry talent
that were dominant in October, and you have a bounce back year.
THE BALD TRUTH: This is a defense that might not put up elite numbers on
keeping the other team off the score board but they will get a lot of the
individual stat categories, like sacks, INTs, and fumble recoveries. Even if
they lose, Chris Rainey will get you return TD points.
2016
PROJ
This group improved massively between 2014 and 2015. They were good, fast,
physical, and hungry. Many individual players had career years and they
nearly stole a Grey Cup in their second year. It also didnt hurt that they had
huge leads thanks to a ridiculous offense that put up points all year.
THE BALD TRUTH: The team had minimal turnover during the offseason, and
the players that left have effective and younger replacements ready to go.
Expect them to start off strong and give up more as the season goes on. They
may not have the same offensive support as last year either.

SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS
If not for their defense, it could have been much worse in Montreal in 2015.
An impressive linebacker group, a towering front four, and young ball hawks
in the secondary. They have plenty of talent but plenty of questions on
defense. Some tough decisions still need to be made on a few veterans
contracts.
THE BALD TRUTH: This is another defense that will be on the field a lot in
2016. The good news is that they will get garbage points similar to some
offensive players with late game sacks, interceptions, and forced fumbles.
They will also keep games low scoring. Just dont expect them to win your
league.

Back from the dead and into a Grey Cup Game, Milo
went full Lazarus with his CFL career in 2015. While he
did not quite get manure dumped on his lawn, Rider
fans were not that sad to see Milo cut early in 2015
either. He latched on in Ottawa and his big leg gave
them kicking stability not previously there.
THE BALD TRUTH: Thanks to the dynamite Ottawa
offense, Milo should be one of your first couple picks
as a kicker. He will have plenty of chances for converts
and field goals, which is great, so long as he makes
them. Dont forget that he is Canadian for ratio leagues.

This left leg is something else. While many celebrate Medlock for his huge
kicks from big distances, they often forget about his accuracy. In 2015, he
became the CFLs most accurate kicker of all-time at an 87.5% clip. Meanwhile,
he claimed the leagues scoring title by 23 points over second place. Now he
comes to Winnipeg (and their revamped offense) after signing a big money
free agent deal in the offseason.
THE BALD TRUTH: Medlock could, and should, repeat his big point numbers
again. Still, it is dependent on the Bombers offense getting him into place for
field goals and extra points. This is a solid pick at kicker every single season.

This is when things get interesting for kickers and homework may be needed.
The Riders will audition Crapigna, acquired in 2015 from Calgary, and Van
Gylyswyk, a 3rd round pick in Mays draft. The winner of this will be boosted by
a strong offense that will provide plenty of chances for points.
THE BALD TRUTH: Each kicker offers something different, Crapigna bringing
accuracy, while van Gylswyk has a big leg. You know this competition will get
64, 225
How big is Bedes leg? He kicked Sean Whyte out of his job with the Als and
booted him all the way to Edmonton. This could be a breakout year for Bede,
a former Laval Rouge et Or. He has everything you would want from a kicker
and should have more chances because of a more talented Montreal offense.
THE BALD TRUTH: Take note and remember that Bede is from France and so
does not count as a National player if you are in a ratio league. You should be
boosted by points for longer kicks here more than any other player in the CFL.

Back to Ontario, where it all began for Hajrullahu. A fresh start is needed for
the new Argo as he hit only 71.1% of field goals and 74.1% of extra points in
Winnipeg last season. He is will have plenty of chances at points this season
on an Argos team that scored 48 TDs in 2015, second most in the CFL.
THE BALD TRUTH: The mental game is everything for Hajrullahu in his role.
Maybe he can that Toronto FC magic at BMO Field rub off on him. But we
would not bet the farm on him.

RICHIE LEONE

This feels a little strange but one of the most consistent kickers in recent years
is not even a top five option now. Part of it is Parades own inconsistency, and
part of it is how he is used in Calgary. The Stamps led the CFL last season with
17 2-point convert attempts on their 47 TDs. However, he did have 47 field
attempts, enough for third most in the league.
THE BALD TRUTH: He still has fantasy value. Calgary will settle for just as many
field goals, if not more. But dont expect him to be the top scoring kicker.

The Ticats have a kicker battle on their hands this preseason. Maher, who
dressed for four games with Ottawa last season, will try to hold off rookie
Cody Mandell, a former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide. The winner
will get plenty of chances for points, particularly later in the season when Zach
Collaros comes back from injury.
THE BALD TRUTH: You may be able to get one of these kickers (if the battle
has been settled by the time of your draft) in a later round. You may not see
huge points right away, but come fantasy playoffs you will get a huge boost.

If you think that Whyte was cut by the Alouettes because he has lost a step,
you are wrong. Rather the Als found a monster in Boris Bede, who very well
might eclipse the CFL record for longest field goal (if he does not go to the NFL
first). Whyte may not have that leg but he is an accurate, dependable kicker.
The Esks brought him in midway through the season and made incumbent
Grant Shaw a full time punter. Each will remain in the same role in 2016.
THE BALD TRUTH: Mike Reilly and the Eskimo offense will consistently give
Whyte plenty of chances for point opportunities. Feel free to go to Edmonton
and take a drive down Whyte Avenue.

Leone, the Leos kicker, had a tough debut season in 2015, as he only hit at a
74% clip. Granted, he did not have a game all year where he missed more
than two field goals. He is virtually guaranteed the job in 2016 and the Lions
will still be a strong offensive group.
THE BALD TRUTH: Still a young kicker, Leone should bounce back and have a
strong season in Vancouver.
