Taylor had 121 return yards to help the Stamps beat the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats 32-20 on Saturday night. That included four punt returns for 63 yards — including a 42-yarder in the third quarter — and two kickoff returns for 58 yards.
Taylor leads the CFL with 664 combined return yards so far this season.
In addition to his stellar special-teams work in Week 6, Taylor made four receptions for 37 yards including a 25-yard touchdown.
Taylor is the second Stamps players to receive player-of-the-week honours in 2011.
Kicker Rene Paredes was the special teams player of the week in Week 2.
