Eric Kennedy should win Offensive Player of the Year (and probably Breakout Player of the Year), but neither top RB nor top WR.
Top RB, in my opinion, should go to the best running back (obviously). We can and should look at receiving numbers in addition to just rushes, but when an RB (as of week 10) has 100 receptions compared to only 34 rushes, I don't think you can put them in consideration for best RB. Despite being an RB by nature, Kennedy just doesn't get enough action at the RB position to warrant consideration for top RB, especially when you have guys in the league with over 200 rushes and over 5 times the rushing yards that Kennedy does.
Which leads me to the top WR award, which I think some people may argue he deserves. I think it's perfectly reasonable and logical to think Kennedy should win the top WR award, but I'm going to have to disagree. Kennedy simply is not a WR. He may get most of his snaps in the WR slot position, but just like how the real life TE Jimmy Graham gets most of his snaps at WR, nobody considers him a WR. Kennedy is not a WR and so he shouldn't win the top WR award, in my opinion.
However, I think Kennedy has the strongest argument out of any player in the league for the OPOY award. Breakout Player of the Year too.
