Comeback Player of the Year

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

Maclin and the Eagles have lost two straight, but no one has been able to close the gap for this award in the process. It helped that Maclin had four catches for 98 yards in the loss. He is having the best season of his career, even after coming off such a major injury.

Justin Forsett, RB, Baltimore Ravens

The Jaguars kept Forsett bottled up on Sunday, limiting him to just 48 yards on 16 carries. It wasn’t a great showing from Forsett who has been having a great season overall.

Rolando McClain, LB, Dallas Cowboys

After a great start to the season, McClain’s production has dropped off as the season progressed. That continued this week as the middle linebacker finished with just five tackles on Sunday night against the Eagles.
