Brandon West waiting for his chance

There's little doubt who the Roughriders starting running back is this season.

Kory Sheets burst on to the season in training camp, and has not looked back. Scoring at least one touchdown in every game so far this season, and picking up a good number of yards on the ground along the way. While this has been great news for the team and Sheets, it's left last years running back watching from the sidelines.
