What a time for Canadian football! On the soccer side, Stephen Eustáquio and company have advanced to the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup, while in the three-down game, incredible individual play has been the norm across this football-loving nation.

Let’s keep the good times rolling with a full slate of FanDuel Canada Day Weekend games by focusing on one player from each team who will be critical to the final result.

I’ll only include one quarterback, and we’ll go in chronological order.

TYLER KAHMANN | RECEIVER | TORONTO ARGONAUTS

What better way to start than with the current flavour of the month?

Tyler Kahmann has burst onto the scene with 15 receptions for 237 yards and four touchdowns. It hasn’t taken long for the 25-year-old rookie to earn the trust of veteran quarterback Chad Kelly, who targeted Kahmann 10 times in Toronto’s 40-34 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

His 27-yard touchdown just before halftime perfectly encapsulated the chemistry between the two. On the final play before the break, with just three seconds remaining, Dustin Nielson said what we were all thinking: “He’s going to look for the end zone, isn’t he?” The safe play would’ve been a quick completion to set up a field goal. Instead, Kelly took the risk, Kahmann caught the ball at the nine-yard line and raced into the end zone, sending Toronto into halftime with a 20-17 lead. The rookie has now scored in every game and is a major reason Kelly is averaging nearly 400 passing yards per contest.
