DROY: Bain
COACH OF THE YEAR: Kellen Moore
COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Aaron Donald
SURPRISE PACKAGES: Saints to be actual decent rather than just NFC south decent. Lions still an elite team
SUPRISE STRUGGLERS: Texans, Bears and Patriots to miss the playoffs
WORST RECORD: Miami
GENERAL BIG SHOUTS: Donald to still look a top 5 DT in managed minutes. Bears to look a shambles on defense but Caleb to become an elite qb. Stroud out of a job before or at the end of the season

DPOY: Garrett
OROY: Jermiyah Love
DROY: Caleb Downs
COACH OF THE YEAR: Sean McVay
COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: It’s an even numbered year so Joe Burrow.
SURPRISE PACKAGES: New coaches will establish a baseline of competence on the Giants and Titans. Not enough to mean a playoff appearance for either team but a definite improvement.
SUPRISE STRUGGLERS: Can see the Patriots plummeting back to earth when faced with a real schedule. Think the Eagles are one key injury away from the wheels completely falling off too.
WORST RECORD: There are some truly terrible teams to choose from but I think the Commanders are going to be fucking horrible this year. Their season ends when Daniels gets injured.
GENERAL BIG SHOUTS: It’ll be Sirianni’s last year in Philly, no rookie QB will win a game before December and Romo will be quietly returned to the broadcast booth before Thanksgiving.
