Roosevelt, who has heated up lately, is the Riders’ leader in targets (72), is second in receptions (44) and is third in receiving yards (502). He has one touchdown.

The likely leaves Arceneaux, who has only 16 receptions for 142 yards in seven starts, on the bubble.

The nine-year CFL veteran is among the team’s leaders in the locker room, but Williams-Lambert would be an improvement in terms of production.

“All of them will be pushed because Jordan is a good player,” Dickenson said.

Last year, Williams-Lambert led the Riders in receptions (62) for 764 yards and four touchdowns. He was a rare bright spot in an offence that generated a league-low 11 touchdown passes and 25 offensive touchdowns.

This year’s offence has been more productive, producing 27 total touchdowns, including nine through the air.

Williams-Lambert will notice some changes from 2018, even thought the offensive co-ordinator is the same.

“There are some different things in here,” McAdoo said. “The terminology is the same, but there are some new plays that have been added that he won’t know. He’ll understand the base of what our offence is and then have to learn the little nuances that we’re trying to do on different routes and things of that nature.”

Williams-Lambert is in Regina, but wasn’t made available to media Tuesday. He’s expected to be on the field during Wednesday’s closed practice.

NOTES: The Riders announced Tuesday that defensive end Chad Geter had re-signed. In 2018, he recorded 19 defensive tackles, 17 special-teams tackles and three sacks. He joins the Riders after being released Sunday by the Alouettes … Released from Saskatchewan’s practice roster were kicker Gabe Ferraro and defensive back Solomon Means … Perennial all-star offensive lineman Brendon LaBatte (hip) was on the field Tuesday, but won’t dress Saturday. He could return when the Riders play the host Toronto Argonauts on Sept. 28, after Saskatchewan’s bye week.
