Eskimos receiver D’haquille “Duke” Williams has been named a CFL Player for the Week for his performance in Edmonton’s victory over the Toronto Argonauts last Friday.
Williams led the Green and Gold’s receiving corps with nine receptions for 123 yards and one touchdown. The game marked his fourth consecutive 100+ yard game of the season.
The former Auburn Tiger continues to lead the league in yards with 556 and receptions with 31. He is tied for the league lead in touchdowns with three.
This is the second time Williams has received national honours – He was named a CFL Player of the Month for June.
CFL Players of the Week are chosen by a panel of judges who independently send their selections to the CFL head office. The panel includes former players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde of TSN and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
