Tyler Snead among four must-have CFL fantasy players for Week 12

by | Aug 20, 2025

A good sign of the kind of season you’re having is how you’re regarded in fantasy sports.

There is such a thing as fantasy CFL. One player who is a good bet to rack up fantasy points this week, according to the CFL’s website, is ECU alum and Montreal receiver Tyler Snead.

Snead is having an all-star season and with injuries mounting up for the Alouettes, the experts think he could have a big week when Montreal squares off Thursday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and fellow ECU alum, OL Stanley Bryant.

Snead has 50 catches for 689 yards and two touchdowns. He had five catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in last week’s loss to British Columbia. The yard total was the most he had since getting 117 yards in Week 2 against Ottawa.

“The Alouettes have averaged just 15.1 points in their current three-game losing streak, but Tyler Snead has been the one bright spot. He’s scored at least 12.8 fantasy points in each of his last four games.”

So if you have a CFL fantasy team, consider this good advice. Click here to read more about the other players worth considering to play this week.
