Here's the Ticats receiving yards leaders after week 19 (catches yards):
Tasker 67 876
Fantuz 62 639
Grant 55 563
Madu 44 512
Giguere 37 500
Banks 37 464
Ellingson 32 429
Tasker needs only 124 yards to reach 1000 yards. He has caught more than that in a single game, so it definitely is possible, although not probable. It is more likely if Andy Fantuz is still injured and can't play in this week's game against Montreal. Fantuz likely would have made 1000 yards if he hadn't been injured for so many games this year.
Madu has a lot of yards for a running back, especially considering he hasn't played in all the games. He certainly doesn't have a lot of yards rushing.

Rumours of Andy Fantuz Being Back. What Does That Do to the Lineup?
Andy Fantuz could be in action for the Cats this week. How does that change the lineup?
Grant and Ellingson, both imports were the starting slots. Onrea Jones (import) and Giguere were the starting wide receivers. Dave Stala was listed as the third slotback for five and six receiver sets.
With Fantuz coming back, he could come in for Ellingson and then the non-import starting spot could be used so the defence could start another import. Or Fantuz could go into Ellingson's spot and Ellingson move over into Stala's spot and the import ratio on offense would stay the same.
Hard to say what will happen as other changes could happen in the receiving corps. Still it is a good problem to have, because if there is an injury to a Canadian starter, the Cats have more flexibility with Fantzu, Stala and Giguere on offense.

Andy Fantuz Bad Season?
Andy Fantuz was signed to the Cats this year to a high value contract in CFL terms. After 11 games some consider him somewhat of a bust. However looking over the list of receiving leaders for the CFL, I don't think this is really the case. Chris Williams is third in the league with 900 yards receiving, however Fantuz is a respectable 12th on the list with 553 yards. Considering Fantuz missed some playing time due to injury his per game average performance would probably move him up the list of CFL receivers.
Fantuz still has seven regular games go this year and could still crack the 1000 yard mark. Fantuz always draws coverage helping out the other Ticat receivers. The Cats offence hasn't been the problem this year and neither has Fantuz.
Chris Williams has the chance to be the first CFL receiver to crack the 1,000 yard mark this year if he gets triple digit receiving yards against the Bombers tonight. That's impressive for only his 12th game this year.
