With Week 11 behind us, we’re now into the second half of the 2026 season.

Last week’s Monday Morning Quarterback started our look at a few midseason awards, but we opted to save the traditional individual honours until after officially passing the halfway mark.

With the second half underway, and with preseason choices added for reference, here are our MMQB picks for the six player awards that’ll be named at the end of the season.

GEORGE REED MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER

DAVIS ALEXANDER | QUARTERBACK | MONTREAL ALOUETTES

Goodness, was this one close, at least from this vantage point. With a teammate on pace to break CFL records, Montreal quarterback Davis Alexander faced stiff competition. But when it came down to it, Alexander has posted spectacular numbers while helming the CFL’s best team and highest-powered offence. That tipped the scales ever so slightly in his favour.

Alexander leads all regular starting quarterbacks with 3,140 passing yards, a 122.5 passer rating, a 10.4 yards-per-attempt average, and a 0.7 per cent interception rate. That’s on top of other impressive outputs like 18 touchdown passes and a 72.3 per cent completion rate.

Alexander wins (the Als are 8-1), puts up outstanding numbers, and he’s rapidly evolved into his team’s unquestioned leader.

Preseason pick: Nathan Rourke, BC Lions
