During the offseason, Amerson remained in Canada for the first time during his career to train with incoming receivers' coach Paul LaPolice. The Tiger-Cats receivers, including Amerson, started the season more successfully than the previous year. Through the first three games, Amerson was ninth in the CFL in receiving yards with 224 yards on eight catches. Amerson caught 47 passes for 894 yards and five touchdowns through fourteen regular season games. In October, an injury forced Amerson to undergo surgery to repair the torn cartilage in his knee. He returned in the Tiger-Cats' semi-final loss to the Argonauts.
