Alouettes’ receiver Tyson Philpot on historic pace
Tyson Philpot is on a historic clip.
Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Tyson Philpot is having a historic season through the halfway point of the 2026 CFL regular season. As of August 18, 2026, Philpot leads the Canadian Football League in targets (98), receptions (74) and receiving yards (1,154). If the current pace continues, he is projected to record 148 catches for 2,308 yards, breaking the records for most catches (116 by Brad Sinopoli) and receiving yards (1,662 by Terry Evanshen) in a season by a Canadian.
Philpot also broke the CFL record for the fewest games to reach 1,000 receiving yards, achieving the milestone in eight games. This feat tied the all-time record for the fewest games to 1,000 yards, previously held by Hal Patterson and Terry Greer. Philpot is one of five quarterbacks on track to reach 5,000 passing yards this season, a first in league history.
