Elks' J.J. Ross, Cody Fajardo named CFL Week 11 top players
Edmonton swept two of the CFL's three weekly player honours after a lopsided win over Toronto, with B.C.'s Zander Horvath also recognized.
The CFL named Edmonton defensive back J.J. Ross, Elks quarterback Cody Fajardo and B.C. Lions running back Zander Horvath as its top players for Week 11 of the season.
Ross recorded two interceptions, including an 85-yard return for a touchdown, along with four defensive tackles and a forced fumble that set up another Edmonton score. It was his first career multi-interception game and first touchdown, helping the Elks defeat Toronto 42-12 on Saturday.
Fajardo threw for 301 yards and a touchdown without an interception in the same game, adding 50 rushing yards. Horvath rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 32 yards in B.C.'s 30-26 win over Calgary on Thursday.
The recognition marks a second player-of-the-week honour this season for both Fajardo and Horvath, while it is the first for Ross.
