TORONTO — Hamilton receiver Brandon Banks, Tiger-Cats quarterback Dane Evans and Saskatchewan quarterback Cody Fajardo are the top performers for Week 20 of the CFL season.

Banks complied a personal-best 201 receiving yards on 11 receptions and three touchdowns to lead the Ticats to a 38-26 road victory over Montreal on Saturday. He broke Luke Tasker’s franchise record for catches in a season (104) with his fourth catch of the game, and now has a league-leading 112 receptions heading into the final week of the season.

Banks provided a deadly target for Evans, who completed 80.6 per cent of his passes for 379 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Evans has passed for 300 or more yards on seven occasions this season, including six times in Hamilton’s past seven games.

Fajardo completed 25-of-35 passes for 429 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-24 victory over Edmonton on Saturday. The win moved the Roughriders into first in the West Division with one week remaining.
