McLeod Bethel-Thompson, Kadeem Carey, Jamal Peters, Dejon Allen and the Toronto Argonauts offensive line are at the head of the class for Week 3 in the Canadian Football League Honor Roll powered by Pro Football Focus.

Argonauts DT Jared Brinkman, OT Isiah Cage and DE Robbie Smith also received Week 3 PFF Team of the Week honors.

All but one of these former and current Argonauts (Peters) took part in last Saturday's thrilling 39-36 shootout between Edmonton and Toronto. It was an instant classic, featuring 75 total points, 10 touchdowns and 745 combined yards.

As a result, it's not surprising that multiple players from that game would receive high grades and recognition.

Each week, PFF accumulates the highest individual player grades on offense and defense and the highest-graded offensive line for recognition in the CFL Honor Roll. The best individual performers from each of the ten position groups, including the newly added returner spot, form the All-Week team.
