12. Andrew Luck (LW: 12)

Can anybody name who Luck is throwing the ball to? jack Doyle and T..Y Hilton have been in and out of the lineup with injuries, and everybody else is basically a warm body. Hell, he’s turned Eric Ebron — who was run out of Detroit — into a legitimate tight end this year. Comeback Player of the Year? Sure seems like it.

11. Carson Wentz (LW: 11)

Wentz’s numbers are terrific. He’s started five games and thrown for 1,502 yards with 10 touchdowns and a single interception, but the tape shows a guy still trying to find his pre-injury form. The Eagles are struggling, and while Wentz isn’t the main problem, he hasn’t quite ben himself.

10. Russell Wilson (LW: 9)

Wilson is coming off the bye week hoping to get something going against the lions. Seattle has endured its struggles but not because of Wilson, who has thrown for 13 touchdowns while completing 64.2 percent of his throws in six games. If it wasn’t for Wilson, the Seahawks would be fighting for the top pick in the 2019 draft.

9. Ben Roethlisberger (LW: 10)

Roethlisberger has a couple of key divisional games in front of him with the Browns coming to town, and then when Pittsburgh visits Baltimore the following week. Even having had a bye week, Big Ben checks in sixth in passing yardage (2,033) alongside 12 touchdowns. In short, he belongs in the MVP race if Pittsburgh can get going a bit.
