Ridiculously early and irregular Fantasy MVP Watch
These rankings are based on who has been the most valuable asset for fantasy owners this season, with extra points given to players who have given bang for the draft slot buck. And, uh, they are totally subjective and meaningless so I'll save you the trouble of telling me the same.
1. Reggie Bush: Because of his punt return scores, Bush is contending for top honors in non-PPR leagues. In PPR leagues, he's been an awesome value.
2. Jay Cutler: The Bucs game hurts his average, but he's carried teams as a mid-round pick.
3. Michael Turner: Inconsistency hurts, but he's won some weeks by himself.
4. Frank Gore: Steady she goes.
5. Clinton Portis: Volume runner in a sea of RBBCs
6. Matt Forte: See Clinton Portis, add draft value.
7. Drew Brees: With other top quarterbacks falling by the wayside, Brees has been worth more.
8. Greg Jennings: Most consistent wideout at a nice price.
9. Jason Witten: Crushing the other tight ends, which makes him worth more.
10. Brandon Marshall: He'd be my top wideout moving forward, but can't ignore his one missed game and one stinkbomb in this race. He'll move up.
Honorable Mention Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Warner, Marion Barber, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin

Well it's a 13 team league. I traded LT and turned him into Cutler, Gore, and Lynch so yea. A good draft and smart trades got me there.

jon,
are you playing in a 4 team keeper league? how do you grab 6 guys that should have gone in the first 3 rounds in a 10 team league. i'm thinking 1. gore, 2. lynch, 3. aj, 4. fitz, 5. bush, 6. colsten. why is colsten available in your 6th round?

didn't see your post explaining. you made it sound like you drafted that team...

I agree that Ronnie Brown should be on this list. I also think a guy like Roddy White has been very productive as a wr2/3. I know Kickers don't count but Matt Prater has been very good.
