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
Comments
I still predict Brandon Marshall will either:
A) Get injured
B) Get suspended
Before the end of the year... You hear it here first... :)....

Well Greg if your going to put Michael Turner in there with his 2 or 3 big weeks and two duds, then Ronnie Brown fits as well.
Roddy White is still a wr2 until he scores more TD's. Two through 5 games is ok, but not wr1 territory. I have him in a dynasty league and love his prospects with Ryan going forward.

Hey Irwin, you blew your credibilty when you said your girlfriend is really good looking. Hot chicks don't date guys named "Irwin."

oops, missed the last "i" in credibility. My name is obviously not Irwin...

As a Ronnie owner, I can assure you that another solid game or two, and he's in like flint. Like the post says, this is the ridiculously early MVP watch and Ronnie has had two games where he was being eased back into things and the last two where he's become the heartbeat of the Dolphins offense. Patience, friends. His moment in the sun will come.
