JAMES BUTLER | BC LIONS | 81 YARDS AFTER CONTACT
James Butler was excellent for the BC Lions in their loss on the weekend. He carried the rock 17 times for 123 yards and a touchdown, his best outing of the 2025 campaign.
He proved he was tough to take down as well, with 81 of his yards coming after contact, according to PFF. PFF also noted that the running back forced three missed tackles and earned seven first downs himself.
NIC DEMSKI | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS | 4 CONTESTED CATCHES
It seems that no matter what is thrown in his direction, Nic Demski is going to come down with the football.
Week 4 was no exception, with Demski finishing his day with five catches on seven targets for 97 yards, averaging 19.4 per catch, and two touchdowns.
While those stats are impressive, what’s even more impressive is the type of catches he was hauling in. Demski nabbed four contested catches, the most of any receiver on WestJet Canada Day Weekend, according to PFF. His ability to hang on to the tough catches with defenders in the vicinity helped Winnipeg improve to 3-0 on the season with a win over Edmonton.
NAJEE MURRAY | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | 0 MISSED TACKLES
Najee Murray proved he is a tough matchup against the pass or the run for the Montreal Alouettes.
According to PFF, the defensive back missed zero tackles on WestJet Canada Day Weekend and had the most stops of the week (five) to go along with the highest run defence grade of the week (84.6).
