(S24) - PT 3 - Midseason Mania

[Thor]

At the halfway point through season 24, there is one award which with recent rule changes was deemed to be up for grabs early on - that is gradually finding a leader emerging and pulling away from the pack. That award is the S24 Tight end of the year - the last two consecutive seasons Heath Evans has been nominated for this award, but not considered a genuine or threatening candidate due to other players being so far ahead. This season however - Evans is leading the league in catches and on pace for a 100 catch, 1000 yard season with a few more touchdowns potentially in the pipeline. If he manages to break 100 catches that would give him the all time team catch record in a season with the Arizona Outlaws.

While it's not unheard of for a tight end to have a season like this, Evans has managed to do so while playing only as a tight end and flanker - and has not spent a single snap all season playing lined up as a wide receiver. For comparisons sake the next closest tight end eligible for the award has 200 less receiving yards and 21 less catches (but the same amount of touchdowns, to his credit).
