I know its only 4 weeks, but who is the early vote for offensive ROY? Who do you think will finish as ROY?
Matt Forte
Chris Johnson
Jonathan Stewart
Eddie Royal
DeSean Jackson
I think my vote right now is Forte in a close call over Johnson. Forte IS the offiense in CHI and does everything well.
Who finishes as ROY might be Johnson as Forte might his the wall later in the season and Johnson is kept fresh by splitting with LenDale.

Right now I think it's Forte and Johnson in a dead heat. Long way to go though.

I agree with X, though my edge goes to Johnson for a higher yards per carry average and playing on a team with a better record
Eddie Royal should not be forgotten, I think he's tied for 3rd in the NFL in receptions, so if he stays healthy it's clear the Broncos will give him every opportunity to put up WR2 numbers.
Jackson is out of running just because of his boneheaded play a few weeks ago and his attitude. Skill is there, but Philly spreads the ball around too much for him to keep this up.
I think it goes
Johnson
Forte
Royal
Slaton (someone who shouln't be forgotten)
Jackson
Stewart

Sorry, I actually meant to put Slaton in the original post.

I agree, tied between Forte and Johnson, I wouldn't put Jackson out of it just yet, and I think Stewart is gonna do a shocker game on us soon.

Just blowing smoke, Westbrook did an endzone 1 yard line dive himself, and still got drafted in the first round in almost every league.

It better be smoke because there is a big difference between unselfishness and stupidity!

I guess the point was that if I was voting for ROY and I already had options that were better if not at least equal to Jackson, I would surely vote the other way because i'd be remembering his 1 yard line “fumble”. Even without that, Jackson is no better than 3rd in most people's minds, so unless he tears it up in the second half of the season he has no chance.
Also, If anyone noticed, 1 catch for 8 yards today is a sign of how the Eagles have always played….Mcnabb puts up the numbers he does and does not have a good amount of 1000 yard receivers. I just don't think Jackson will get enough chances to get consistent fantasy numbers

Yeah, I'd say Johson and Forte ate the tops with Royal and Jackson in the mix.

Slaton is on a streak right now, and McFaddin is on a bye week. McFaddin will still be heard from this year. Felix Jones has been solid all year.
Forte
Jones
Johnson
Slaton
Stewart
Jackson
Royal
McFaddin
Hightower
Smith

I have to go with Forte right now. He's the Bears offense. Everything goes thru him. Chris Johnson is on a really good team. However, if he wasn't there they would still be a winning team. Can't be said with Forte.
Slaton is coming on strong with 3 good weeks in a row. He could push Johnson and Forte.

I'm not voting for him, but isn't it funny how Hightower might lead all rookies in TDs!
