Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ quarterback Zach Collaros was the top-graded offensive player of the week, earning a score of 84.8. The 36-year-old completed 25-of-30 pass attempts for 334 yards and three touchdowns in his team’s 36-23 win over the Edmonton Elks. He also ran for a 13-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to ice the game.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders had the highest-graded offensive line of the week, earning a group grade of 74.2. Right tackle Jermarcus Hardrick was the top-graded individual at 73.7, followed by centre Logan Ferland and left guard Zack Fry.
The CFL partnered with PFF for the first time ahead of the 2023 season. The 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.
