August 20, 2024

Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris has been named the CFL’s top performer for Week 11 by Pro Football Focus (PFF) with a grade of 93.9.

The 38-year-old passer made his return after a six-game absence due to injury on Friday night against the Montreal Alouettes, going 31-of-39 for 355 yards and two touchdowns with a passer efficiency rating of 123.3. It wasn’t enough to secure a victory over the CFL’s top-ranked team as the Riders fell 27-24, but it did earn him the third-highest single-game PFF grade of any player this season.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ defensive back Tyrell Ford was the highest-graded defensive player of the week with a mark of 91.6. The Canadian corner did not record a defensive tackle in a 20-11 win over the B.C. Lions, notching one on special teams, but did record an interception and two pass knockdowns. He took his fourth pick of the season for a touchdown, though it was called back for holding on the return.

The Bombers’ offensive line led the charge as the highest-graded unit this past week with a group score of 70.7. The best individual grade on the line belonged to left tackle Stanley Bryant who finished with a 70.7 score. He was followed by Canadian left guard Liam Dobson (63.7), then American right tackle Eric Lofton (63.3).

The CFL partnered with PFF for the first time ahead of the 2023 season. The American company uses game footage to review every player on the field and grades their individual performances on a scale from zero to 100.

The league unveils the top-graded players from PFF each week. Offensive and defensive players must play a minimum of 25 snaps to be eligible and special teams players must play at least 10. Ties are broken by the number of snaps played.

The top-graded players from each position were as follows for Week 11.
