Im a bit surprised Rankin was voted top RB over Brady.

Sure Rankin had a fantastic start to the season but he sure tampered off.

@Stats Junkie how many stops behind the line of scrimmage do you have this season for Rankin compared to Oliveira?
Rankin was tackled for a loss on 38 runs (18.3% of the time) in 2026 **
Oliveira was tackled for a loss on 12 runs (4.4% of the time) in 2026

ShunDerrick Powell lost yards on 7.7% of his runs
Javon Leake lost yards on 8.1% of his runs
** worst in CFL

Rankin was tackled for a loss on 5 passes (7.6%)
Oliveira was tackled for a loss on 3 passes (6.7%)

In his career, Oliveira has been tackled for a loss on 4.4% of his runs. Compared to other Blue Bombers RBs this is very good. Andrew Harris lost yards on 7.3% of his runs, Charles Roberts lost yards on 9.7% of his runs & Fred Reid lost yards on 10.7% of his runs.
