Sheets was named Offensive Player of the Week following last Friday's record setting performance. The second-year Rider had 26 rush attempts and two touchdowns on his way to a career single game high of 178 yards. He also added two receptions for 21 yards.

His 442 rushing yards is a CFL record after the opening three weeks of any season.

Williams was named the Defensive Player of the Week after a dominating performance in the Riders victory in Toronto. The 32-year-old middle linebacker seemed to be everywhere as he racked up eight defensive tackles, two quarterback sacks and one pass knockdown.

This is the second time in his career that he has received weekly defensive honours.

Sheets and Williams become the second and third Riders to pick up a weekly award after returner Jock Sanders picked up Special Teams honours last week.
