Injuries Shake Up Ranking Dynamics

As we continue our bi-weekly spotlight on the top quarterbacks in the CFL, recent weeks have seen an influx of injuries sideline key players. It’s becoming a real challenge to maintain an accurate ranking when star passers and promising newcomers are out of the game. Hamstring and hip issues have become all too common, leaving fans yearning to see quarterbacks like Nathan Rourke, Dru Brown, and Davis Alexander in action.

Our Top Quarterback Rankings for the Season So Far

Let’s dive into the top quarterbacks of the league as we navigate through the first month of the season.

1. Zach Collaros - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Zach Collaros is back and making waves! The two-time MOP showed his skills in an exhilarating performance against the Edmonton Elks, throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, plus a spectacular 13-yard touchdown run that caught everyone off guard. Now sitting firmly in the top spot, his recent play makes it clear: he’s not just back, he’s better than ever!

2. Trevor Harris - Saskatchewan Roughriders

Trevor Harris slides down one spot due to a recent injury but remains a dominant force when healthy. Currently third in passing yards and tied for most touchdowns, his absence was felt in the Roughriders' recent shift in gameplay. With a bye week approaching, all eyes are on his recovery for Week 6.

3. Bo Levi Mitchell - Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Making one of the biggest leaps in our rankings, Bo Levi Mitchell soared from seventh to third after celebrating his career win No. 100—fastest in CFL history! He showcased his talent against the Montreal Alouettes with a stellar game of 247 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, proving he deserves his new ranking.

4. Vernon Adams Jr. - Calgary Stampeders

Despite a quiet start without a touchdown pass, Vernon Adams Jr. remains steady in his ranking. His performance, even amid dreadful weather conditions, demonstrated his potential, with some impressive plays in a challenging matchup against Ottawa.

5. Nick Arbuckle - Toronto Argonauts

Nick Arbuckle has risen through the ranks thanks to staying healthy while leading the league in passing yards and attempts. His improvement on the field is unmistakable, and he’s poised for a breakout season.

6. Dustin Crum - Ottawa REDBLACKS

Dustin Crum stayed steady amidst the challenges of a tough game against Calgary, managing not to turn the ball over. However, his luck shifted during last Sunday’s loss to Toronto, where an overthrow led to a critical interception.

7. Tre Ford - Edmonton Elks

Tre Ford had a solid outing against the Alouettes, although much of his success came deep into the game. His performance against the Blue Bombers was more promising, and fans are eager to see him increase his impact moving forward.

8. Jeremiah Masoli - BC Lions

A fan favorite, Jeremiah Masoli is struggling in his current form. A critical interception in a close game against Saskatchewan has clouded his performance, placing him lower in the rankings than many fans would like.

9. McLeod Bethel-Thompson - Montreal Alouettes

While there were tough breaks in the Alouettes' last game, including a bizarre interception return for a touchdown, Bethel-Thompson remains a player to watch, navigating through a challenging start.
