TORONTO -- Week 20 is in the books and there were plenty of standout performers.

From rookie Bryson Barnes delivering Ottawa's first win of the season in his first start to Ontaria Wilson's big receiving game to Clarence Hicks' defence to help keep the Stamps' season alive, here are three PFF stats and grades that stand out from a pivotal week in the league.

ONTARIA WILSON | RECEIVER | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS | 78.3 RECEIVING GRADE

Ontaria Wilson made a season-high 11 catches against the division-leading Elks, which earned him a 78.3 receiving grade to lead all wideouts in Week 20, according to PFF.

Wilson hauled in 100 per cent of his targets, while four of his receptions were for first downs and one for a major.

BRYSON BARNES | QUARTERBACK | OTTAWA REDBLACKS | 82.6 PASSING GRADE (THIRD HIGHEST)

Bryson Barnes had an unforgettable starting debut with the REDBLACKS to avoid a winless season for his team.

According to PFF, Bryson was ranked third in Week 20 with a passing grade of 82.6, behind only Trevor Harris and Vernon Adams Jr., but he recorded the most passing yards with 339 and was the only one not to throw a pick amongst the trio.

CLARENCE HICKS | DEFENSIVE LINEMAN | CALGARY STAMPEDERS | 5 PRESSURES

Although only one pass knockdown shows up on Clarence Hicks' stat sheet, he made his presence felt on Lions' quarterbacks, applying five pressures on Saturday, according to PFF.

He didn't record a tackle for a second straight game but his contributions were important in the must-win final regular season game as Calgary looked to keep their playoff hopes alive.
