While midseason may not be that representative for end of season awards for the Dallas Birddogs I would totally say if Zoe Watts continues her current trajectory there is no question about that she should be easily getting Running Back of the Year in the DSFL. After a strong outing in season 23 where she finished fourth this year she is on track for an even better season and leads the RB leaderboard right now. With 594 yards, four touchdowns and an average of 5.3 yards per carry she shines on a team that is sadly underperforming this season. If her statistics remain like this as the featured back it won’t really be a question if she gets called up next year which will be a tough loss for Dallas.
On defense things are certainly less clear, and I don’t think Guy Fields is on track for anything special this season. He is the tackle leader on the team, but fails consistently to produce high impact plays. So even as a coverage linebacker his defending of passes is nothing to be excited about for now. Unless there will be a late season push I do not think he should or will be considered for anything. Of the other rookies on the team Richard “Dick” Leaking could be on track to be considered for a Linebacker award though. While the statistics don’t show anything special for now after a slow start, he has been ramping up his defensive production in the last few games and could be on track to overtake some of the other players on the defensive leaderboards.
