James Butler

Stands out in loss to Riders
Butler recorded 17 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 37-18 loss to Saskatchewan. He also caught four of seven targets for 26 yards.
ANALYSIS
Butler struggled to make an impact in the passing game, but the veteran running back was a dominant force on the ground and averaged an impressive 7.2 yards per carry. This game marked a season-high tally in both rushing attempts and yards for Butler, who should handle a prominent role out of the backfield when the Lions take on Montreal on Saturday in a Week 5 matchup.
