Riders' Emilus looking for consistency after scorching start

Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Samuel Emilus (19) catches the football for a touchdown as Ottawa Redblacks defensive back Adrian Frye (22) defends during the first half of CFL football action in Regina, on Thursday, June 5, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Heywood Yu Saskatchewan Roughriders' receiver Sam Emilus is coming off of back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, and a dominant week one performance has him on track to eclipse the milestone yet again. The Montreal native registered eight catches for 133 yards and a touchdown against the Redblacks. The yardage total ties him with Ottawa's Justin Hardy for the league-lead after the first week. But Emilus wants to remain consistent. 'Staying in my playbook and taking in each opponent, being serious and making sure I'm doing my homework, so come game time I just do my part. The last thing I want to do is let my teammate down by not knowing my assignment or not making plays when they need to be made,' he said. With fellow receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker lost to a foot injury in week one, an ailment that may cost Schaffer-Baker a good chunk of the season, Emilus will look to spearhead a collaborative effort to make up for the loss of the star pass-catcher. 'It's a huge loss, it's one of the best receivers in the league, regardless of who you replace him with, it's a tough one,' said Riders' quarterback Trevor Harris. 'But we have great depth, we have a great scouting department that's brought in a great roster with great depth, and we'll try and hold the fort down until he's back.' While Emilus may have stormed out of the gates in 2025, he refuses to hang his hat on one solid performance. 'I don't want to be the guy that says he had one good game and that's it. Obviously, I have to keep going on that, but it's going to come by being consistent every week,' he said. Emilus and company will face their first road test on Saturday in Hamilton, where the entirety of the offence will look to keep rolling early in the season.
