2) Andy Dalton and Derick Carr. For holding their teams together with lousy defenses and missing pieces and injuries.
3) David Johnson. Cardinals would currently be toast if it wasn't for him the first 6 weeks. He's been dominate with a team that has a lot of mouth's to feed.
4) Spencer Ware. Keeping the Chief's right in the thick of the AFC and the extremely tough AFC West with major weapons missing on defense during this extremely tough schedule and the expectations of being the main cheese in a run dominated offense with Charles breathing down your neck.
5) Prescott, Elliot and the Cowboy O-line. No this isn't a homer pick. Its obvious the Cowboys have one nasty mother....ing O-line, but who the hell would have predicted what Prescott especially has done with this team. I sure as hell didn't expect it, but enjoying every second.

Spencer Ware is a nice mention. He's kind of shocked me. Andy Dalton, not so much.
Yes, the real MVP for the Cowboys is the OL, but having a runner like Elliott also makes Dak's job that much easier.

Dak's certainly been impressive but his QB #s are not nearly where the other top qbs are. Sure Dallas has more wins but I think it's a combined effort.

My only counter to Zeke making Dak's job easier is this...
McFadden was the 4th leading rusher in the league last season. He only started 8 games. So theoretically, that (quality RB + OL) should have made Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Kellen Moore better. It didn't. And I KNOW there wasn't anyone trying to make a case the Cowboys would be 6-1 without Romo after Week 3 of the preseason.
Zeke - ROY
Dak - MVP
That's the only case I can make. Best part - there's still 9 weeks to let the season breathe.

1. Matt Ryan
2. Matthew Stafford
3. Ezekiel Elliott
4. David Johnson
5. If the Chargers D, and fumbles by Benjamin and Gordon didn't cause them to absolutely blow 2 games, allowing them to be 5-2 instead of 3-4, I'd say Rivers as well..but can't put a guy in there on a team with a losing record.
You could almost throw Lorenzo Alexander, undrafted OLB making $885K this year, already with 9 sacks and leading the Bills defense in impressive fashion.

I know the Colts are bad but they'd be worse than Cleveland without Luck.

2-5. Everyone else
He's putting up historic numbers, on a playoff-caliber team. The only QB putting up better numbers is Tom Brady, and he's played 4 less games.
