June 24, 201411 yr http://cfl.ca/article/worth-watching-10-players-to-keep-an-eye-on-in-2014 A few good ones but Chad Johnson?
June 24, 201411 yr I'd be lying if I said I won't be keeping an eye on Chad Johnson for more than a week. I think most football fans would be lying too.
June 24, 201411 yr Surprised that not one of Toston, Steele or Cotton are on there. My top 10 to watch ... in no particular order Duron Carter Jeff Fuller Drew Willy Zach Collaros Paris Cotton Keith Toston Curtis Steele John Chiles Greg Ellingson John White
June 24, 201411 yr Is Curtis Steele projected as Toronto's starting RB? I thought they really liked Jeremiah Johnson
June 24, 201411 yr Author I'd be lying if I said I won't be keeping an eye on Chad Johnson for more than a week. I think most football fans would be lying too. I'm referring to the high probability that Johnson doesn't last more than a few weeks. You never know though ...

His failure would be a bigger story than if he were mediocre.

Following these situations closely for my fantasy team this year (and reading other teams forums), Toston seems to be the early favourite in Saskatchewan. Tyler Thomas got more work and had better stats than John White in Edmonton, but White has more experience. I thought Steele looked the best in Toronto, but with him, Johnson, Slaton and Coombs all on the roster I have no guess at how it will play out.
June 24, 201411 yr What a dull list. Would far prefer an "Up and Comers CFLer's to Watch" List or something. ... but I would really like Durant to crash and burn without his weapons this year.
June 24, 201411 yr what I don't get is why Durant is on a players to watch list... He's been playing at a high level for years now, might as well have put Ricky Ray and Henry Burris on the list as well.
June 24, 201411 yr I agree Durant's inclusion on this list is questionable... cfl.ca probably felt obligated to appease Rider nation, otherwise they'd scream bloody murder.... Durant will be fine this year, he still has one of the best o-lines in the league and a decent crop of receivers...

With Dressler and Sheets gone its up to him to be their "guy" now.

June 24, 201411 yr My list would consist of guys who were big news signings in the offseason, +/or could have an impact to the league (ie, stats, fan interest, TV viewership, future star, etc) Willy (will he finally be the QB WPG has desperately been looking for) Collaros (will Austin's gamble pay off?) BLM/Tate (is BLM the future for Calgary, and will Tate be happy as #2) Tory Smith (Heisman Trophy winner replacing HOF'er AC) Chad Johnson (can a former NFL Superstar make an impact in the CFL at his age) Nic Moore (big $$ signing...was it too much??) John Chiles (potential #1 receiver in the league) Jon Cornish (CFL rushing record???) Lulay (will he be fully recovered and back to MVP form??... or will BC have to rely on Glenn all season) Reilly (can he hold off a now completely recovered Matt Nichols) and as a bonus... Ricky Ray (can he surpass any passing records with the receivers he has at his disposal)

June 25, 201411 yr Top Ten 1 Drew Willy - There will be nothing finer than to watch the development of our bonafide QB for the year…finally. Drew Tate - Got to see if Tate can bounce back this year, because to rely on BLM might lead the Stamps to an average year. Nik Lewis - Carrying all that weight, I can see more subs for Lewis…and not necessarily the sandwiches. Troy Smith - He will be the frontrunner in the race to be the first to be replaced, unless Pat White starts, then it will be close. Duron Cater - Have to enjoy him this year 'cause he'll be a goner. Paris Cotton - I mean what could be better than Paris in the summer? He will be Mr. Entertainment for us this year. Mike Reilly - I'm pulling for him, he's good, but he just can't afford to get hit again like he did last year. Zach Collaros - Is Mr. Escapable, capable of pulling the same results out of his hat/helmut? Billy Peach - the Peach watch is officially on. Who makes the move to get him? A tie. - between seeing the ugliness of Hugh O'Neil's beard and figuring where Bear Woods actually does go for relief. Top Ten Bombers Kuale….Leggett….Woods….B. Johnson….P Cotton….Banks….Kohlert….Lirim….Neufeld….Wild Another ten to watch is the 1 gamed injured list of the Hamilton Ti-Cats and what they will do with them after the first game.
June 25, 201411 yr I'd be lying if I said I won't be keeping an eye on Chad Johnson for more than a week. I think most football fans would be lying too. Most people would watch a train wreck if they knew where and when it was going to happen. The Allouette's have their 18 potential train wrecks scheduled.
