5. Kene Nwangwu, New York Jets

 

Stats: 479 Att, 3,137 Yards, 33 TD 224yds/g

 

I tried. I tried to find a running back more efficient, convincing myself he is a product of volume but simply put Kene is disgusting. Averaging 90 more yards per game than 2nd place in the league. The Jets haven’t exactly established themselves as a playoff threat just yet but I always believe that those that can run, will run. And Kene. Can. Run.

 

4. David Njoku, Tennessee Titans

 

Stats: 130 Rec 1,689 Yards 18 TDs

 

Honestly there  has never been a tight end to ever put up these numbers. Maybe in BL history, but certainly not NFL history. What makes Njoku so wild is that he is maybe the 4th best player on this offense as a ceiling? With julio, AJ, and henry i would think 130 receptions would belong to someone else, but Cloud must love his tight ends. With Henry at 6.2 YPC, two receivers that require attention, and the leagues best tight end….I would be terrified if the Titans made the playoffs. Terrified.

 

3. Jamar Johnson, Denver Broncos

 

Stats: 86 Tackles, 5 TFL, 17 INT, 1 FF

 

Since animations were severely limited for user DBs in general, its been tough to get picks. That has not been an issue for the Broncos rookie safety who has racked up 17 interceptions. Tack on his 86 tackles and you have clearly one of the best safeties in the league. While getting 2 games against KC should be illegal for stat purposes, Johnson has been quite impressive.

 

2. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns

 

Stats: 5,114 Yards 51 TD 20 INT 72%

 

It is easy to get lost in the Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence domination but sitting firmly atop the AFC is Baker Mayfield and the Browns. Now, preseason I personally thought Hero was a run-heavy user that could win the AFC as Chubb fits his play style. I would say he has proven himself a balanced offensive user who can show up in the volume stats but limit the turnovers. To play this way, with this record, in the leagues nastiest division...Baker may not win the in-game MVP but he deserves it.

 

1. Kellen Mond, Minnesota Vikings

 

Stats: 5,741 Yards 55 TD 22 INT 71%

 

Kellen is basically NFC Baker Mayfield, but a significantly worse player in terms of ratings. Mond has been fantastic in wins and maybe even more impressive in losses. Mond rebounds from Chicago loss to dominate the Rams and sit themselves firmly in the NFC 2 Seed.
