The new CFL Fantasy game released today and they’ve introduced a new format this year and the player evaluations had us going through the salaries all day.
The trick this year is to make sure that you manage your salary cap properly, so finding teams with value is the best way to about your picks. One way to do that is to find players that could step into big roles on team’s with low salaries. That’s why we thought we’d check out where every team ranks for their most expensive possible combinations.
Here’s how the totals worked out (WPG doesn’t play Week 1, so they’re not included yet):
Here are the corresponding players for each team:

While it probably doesn’t mean great things for their real life hopes, the Riders and Argos might have a couple buy-low candidates. Some receivers that could make impacts at $2,500 isn’t a bad deal at all.
And don't count out a player with beard points...
Who’s your sleeper candidate for week one? Let us know @BarDown.
