Regarding awards:
The race between Luke Skywalker and Ben Slothlisberger for QBotY should be pretty heated. Slothlisberger hold the yards and TD:INT ratio lead, while Skywalker has better completion percentage, TDs, and QBR. Ultimately the winner here will make a strong case for MVP unless a dark horse emerges.
As a completely unbiased voter, RBotY is Tatsu Nakamura's to lose. He's the rushing yards leader, averaging 4.9 ypc with a league leading 10 rushing TDs. I can also see Darrel Williams making a strong case with 5.6 yards per carry as well.
Skipping ahead to OLotY, Jay Cue and Adam Mellott are dead even, with 58 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed apiece. Simon Tremblay has an incredible 71 pancakes, but voters heavily weight sacks allowed, of which he has 2.
Defensively I wanted to highlight Derred De Ville who's having a crazy good LB season, with 9 sacks, 7 PDs, 4 FFs, 1 FR, and 55 tackles thus far. LB is always a very tight race and depending on lots of personal preference with the variety in statlines, but the FFs and sacks would put De Ville near the top of the list for me.
Colt Mendoza is narrowly ahead of the rest of a strong cornerback group for me, with a tied for league leading 4 interceptions, 4th place in PDs, and 1 FF/FR. I'd have to check the sim for catches allowed for a true indicator of success, however.
That's about all the positional awards I'm comfortable taking a strong stance on, but plenty of things are bound to change between now and awards season.
