Most Valuable Player

Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons

Leading the nation in passing yards? yep. Touchdowns? yep. Completion percentage? yep. Passer rating? you know it. Yards per attempt? yep, that too.

That’s the type of season Matt Ryan is having in 2016. He leads the NFL in ever single major passing stat. Tom Brady might have something to say about that once he has enough pass attempts to qualify, but right now it is a statistical sweep for Matt Ryan.

The Falcons benefit from playing in the 2nd-weakenst division in the NFL. An easy schedule against some bad defenses will help Ryan and their offense keep up their torrid pace on offense.

Others deserving votes: Derek Carr, Matt Stafford
