Butler rushed nine times for 35 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of five targets for 10 yards in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Roughriders on Saturday.

ANALYSIS
The veteran back saw game script rob him of some opportunities on the ground, but Butler was highly efficient with his nine carries. Butler went into the end zone from three and one yards out in the third and fourth quarter, respectively, affording his fantasy managers a rewarding performance despite the Lions eventually turning to a pass-heavy approach. Butler will look for more opportunity in a Week 3 road matchup against his old Tiger-Cats squad on Friday night.
