TORONTO — It’s not every day you see a defence score 20 CFL Fantasy points.
That’s exactly what the Toronto Argonauts did in Week 8 after helping the team capture a 16-14 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday while propelling fantasy owners to clutch wins over their opponents.
Another game-winner of the week was pivot Bo Levi Mitchell, who stepped up in a week without Vernon Adams Jr.‘s reliable fantasy points and delivered five majors and the win for Ticats fans.
