November 12, 2025

Butler (ankle) rushed 12 times for 58 yards and brought in five of six targets for 43 yards during the Lions' 24-21 loss to the Roughriders in the Western Final.

ANALYSIS
Butler toughed out an ankle injury to suit up for what turned out to be the final game of a career-best season. The veteran back put together a rock-solid all-around performance, providing his highest receiving yardage total since Week 18 in the process. Butler finished the regular season with a career-high 1,213 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in his return to B.C. after a two-season stay in Hamilton, and he'll be a prime fantasy option at his position again in 2026.
