Draftkings 111th Grey Cup Picks: Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers 11/17/24

This week, Draftkings football fans will be presented with the 111th Grey Cup game featuring a matchup between the Toronto Argonauts and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Let’s take a look at this CFL game from a Draftkings perspective.

Prior to discussing my DFS picks for the Toronto Argonauts and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for CFL single Game showdown contests on the Draftkings platform.

For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game CFL slate. Remember, once lineups lock on the Draftkings platform you cannot swap players.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers matchup.

Draftkings 111th Grey Cup CFL Player Selections

Zach Collaros, Quarterback, Winnipeg Blue Bombers $10,700

How important has quarterback Zach Collaros been to Winnipeg Blue Bombers offense this season? Let’s take a quick look at Collaros’s recent play on the football field to answer that question.

In the 13 games that quarterback Zach Collaros played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2024 CFL regular season, Collaros compiled 4,637 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns and 178 rushing yards.

Additionally, I like Zach Collaros’s matchup in this CFL game. Why? Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros draws a Toronto Argonauts defense that has had issues defending opposing quarterbacks this season. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of 18 games played in the 2024 CFL regular season, the Toronto Argonauts ranked a rather low seventh in total yards allowed to the quarterback position a game (278.3). Keep in mind that the CFL has nine teams in the entire league. Having stated that, being ranked seventh in any defensive category is not good.

In my opinion, quarterback Zach Collaros is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this week’s 111th Grey Cup Game. For that specific reason, I am backing Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback Zach Collaros as a flex play for this one Game Draftkings CFL Showdown contest.

Brady Olivera, Running Back, Winnipeg Blue Bombers $12,500

In addition to Zach Collaros, talented Winnipeg running back Brady Olivera has certainly been a key contributor to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offense in 2024. Let’s review Olivera’s Game data from the 2024 CFL regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 13 games that running back Brady Olivera played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2024 CFL regular season, Olivera tallied a massive 1,472 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 59 receptions, 498 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 13 Games that Brady Olivera has played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season, Olivera has averaged an impressive 17.1 Draftkings points a contest.

In conclusion, I fully expect talented Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Olivera to continue his outstanding play in the 111th Grey Cup on Sunday night.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well in this week’s 111th Grey Cup game (Draftkings price noted): Nick Arbuckle, Quarterback (Toronto Argonauts) $8,800: Kenny Lawler, Wide Receiver (Winnipeg Blue Bombers) $7,800: Damonte Coxie, Wide Receiver (Toronto Argonauts) $6,400: Janarion Grant, Wide Receiver (Toronto Argonauts) $5,800.
