Four weeks remain in the CFL season, and while the playoff pictures in each division are still muddy, the Most Outstanding Player picture is starting to crystallize across the league.
Four weeks remain in the Canadian Football League season, and while the playoff pictures in each division are still muddy, the Most Outstanding Player picture is starting to crystallize across the league.
Per FanDuel betting odds, Fajardo is the favourite to take home the award for the first time in his career at -135, while Oliveira trails closely behind at +130. Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who won the award in 2016, is the only other player in the conversation at +900.Fajardo missed six weeks earlier in the year with a hamstring injury, but has led the defending Grey Cup champion Alouettes to a 7-2-1 record in full games under centre this year.
His 286.7 passing yards per game in games played from start to finish ranks behind only Mitchell and Chad Kelly of the Toronto Argonauts. With three touchdowns over his past two games and at least 100 yards from scrimmage in nine of his past 10 games, Oliveira has been a major force in the Bombers' current seven-game winning streak that has left the team sitting atop the West Division standings.Mitchell, 34, has been strong in his return to the starting role with the Tiger-Cats after he only played in six games a year ago.
