Avon Cobourne, T.J. Hill, Alexis Serna and Andy Fantuz were named the cream of the CFL crop for week 13.

The Montreal Alouettes' Cobourne racked up 193 yards rushing with two touchdowns on 23 carries in his team's 42-8 blowout of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The CFL offensive player of the week raised his league-leading stats in rushing yards (1,043), yards from scrimmage (1,423), and touchdowns (13) in the victory.

Edmonton's Hill got the nod as the defensive star of the week, despite the Eskimos' loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on the weekend. Hill had seven tackles, two sacks and two interceptions, the first of which he returned 59 yards for his first career touchdown.

As for special-teams player of the week, Winnipeg kicker Alexis Serna earned the honour by nailing four field goals (53, 32, 13, and 41 yards) and was good on both his extra point attempts in the Blue Bombers' win over the Toronto Argonauts.

The top Canadian honours went to Andy Fantuz of Chatham Ont. He led Saskatchewan with seven catches and 71 yards receiving in their win over the Eskimos on Saturday.

In seven games this season, Fantuz has tallied 394 yards off 29 receptions and two touchdowns.
