James Butler
Breakout performance in Week 6 win
Butler rushed 29 times for 171 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 35 yards during the Lions' 32-14 win over the Elks in Week 6.
ANALYSIS
Butler shouldered an unprecedented workload in the easy win, with game script working heavily in favor of the Lions' ground attack. The veteran consistently ripped off impressive gains throughout the victory, including a co-season-high 38-yard run. Butler added his third rushing touchdown of the season on a 15-yard run with just over two minutes remaining in the first half, and he recorded multiple catches for the fourth time this season. Butler will take on the difficult task of trying to put together a successful encore when he takes on the Roughriders in a Week 7 Saturday night home matchup.
