There have been a bevy of lows, and a disappointing number of highs in Evans season. To clarify, this is individually. There have been an outstanding number of highs if we're referring to Evans' team's year.
First of all, Evans did manage to Eclipse 1,000 yards on the season. This is a milestone that is important in any WRs career. Unfortunately it didn't come until the final game, but it did, nonetheless.
Another plus would certainly be the target share. Evans had multiple games of 10+ targets and as long as he can keep improving, I believe that he'll take advantage of such a juicy opportunity.
As for the downsides, Evans has had another season plagued by drops despite more than adequate hands. It's bewildering, yet, still a problem. Luckily for him, being a possession WR will allow him ample opportunity to improve his hands further and turn this around.
In addition, while Evans continues to improve, so do defenses. It's simply the way of the world, as he cannot put time on hold. Or can he? He can't. Evans will simply always be a season's worth of progress behind opposing corners. The bright side being that they will be hitting regression before him.
There have been many highs for Charlie Law this rookie season. Catching the most touchdowns of anyone at Tight End for example. Contributing to his team from day one. All those pancakes. The best thing for Charlie though is doing what he said he'd do before the season started. Prove the doubters wrong. Scoff though some may, he managed to come out and prove that he belonged in the NSFL right away. Excuses like "well he's on the Outlaws" followed the entire season (in which the Outlaws threw the ball less than four other teams), but most noticed by the end of the year what Outlaw management saw in Charlie form day one. A solid, steady contributor who improved the team.
The low point had thankfully much less competition to choose from. The loss in overtime to the Baltimore Hawks rattled Charlie. he couldn't get going all game, losing a few passes and finishing with just 2 catches for 13 yards. Also of note, it's the only game this season where he recorded no pancakes. As much as any coach can tell you that it takes a team to win OR lose and that everyone can have off days, Charlie took that one to heart.
Ricky Maddox is pretty much the definition of a High/Low type of player regardless of the position. He's had it as a Tight End both years, and he most definitely has had it as a Defensive End. Switching from offense to defense has had it's affect on his playing ability.
We can start with the low. Coming into the year, he boasted himself as the "GOAT TE/DE™." After the first few games where he would consider himself "lackluster" and "not effective," he aptly dubbed himself as the "GOAT TE/AVG DE™." It definitely was a hit to his pride and there's no one, and I'll say it again. NO ONE that lets out more pride than Ricky Maddox. So the less than GOAT like performances were beginning to get into his head.
What made matters worse is that a Defense End by the name of Jayce Tuck out of Arizona had similar style of rushing the passer as Maddox did (Refering to the Attributes) but Tuck led the way in nearly every way possible.
Two games in (both of which were losses), there comes the the high point. It all started with a blocked punt against the Otters to flip a switch. The Wraiths went on a solid winning streak and the stat sheet started to fill up and the confidence began to rise ever so slowly. Where he posted his career high of four sacks and seven tackles against the Las Vegas Legion.
From that point, he went onto a much quicker pace and the game began to slow down for him. If Maddox was to rate his year on a school grade scale, he'd make it a C. The bar has been set and he will be ready to raise it next year.
