This is easily Cam Newton, relative to draft spot.

Otherwise, a simple VBD calculation, which FBG does for you, will answer the question.

 
Overall, Rodgers or Calvin Johnson. Relative to draft position, I like Jimmy Graham.
Very true draft position really comes into play. Value guys like Newton, Graham, Sproles, Smith, Jackson would be the real MVP's depending on where you took them.
 
Based on where guys were drafted, I have to go with Fred Jackson.

I would say Cam Newton, but I think it's likely that most didn't start playing him till he had already had two of his best weeks (weeks 1 and 2), so most probably haven't gotten all of that production actually into their starting lineup.

 
There's no specification of rules for our selection so I went the easy and obvious route and chose Rodgers. There is player more reliable for a top 10 point total every single week and that's huge.

Honorable mention to Freddy, Wes, Darren & Steve-CAR for thier mid-range draft selection with huge numbers.

Then just create a OMGWTF Award for Cam's outrageous season.

 
Owning Rodgers I originally just selected him out of instinct. He's been money for me in my 6 points per all TD league and i'm in first place because of him. That said, Cam Newton was an afterthought on draft day, picked in the late rounds of redrafts and he is almost lock step with Rodgers ppg wise. Those lucky enough to have drafted Cam either got a top QB contender to go with a strong lineup drafted ahead of him, or have 2 solid QBs and the ability to trade one away to solidify another position. I deleted my vote and picked Cam, event though I wasn't smart enough to draft him in any league.

 
Not that anyone cares, but a guy in my league drafted four players on this list (Rodgers, Forte, Welker, Graham) :(

It is definitely Cam Newton...he was drafted in around 13th/14th round or not even at all in some drafts.... everyone knew Rodgers was gonna have a great season, maybe not as good as he is having but they were drafting him in the first round expecting him to be the Top QB.. absolutely no one believed in Cam Newton, let alone drafted him to save their team... Cam Newton has saved a lot of teams... if i did not have Cam Newton my team would blow ### with Josh Freeman at QB and I would not be sitting at 5-3 still in the playoff raceSteve Smith deserves a honorable mention... because of where he was drafted in the 6th/7th round, and has been a beast this year in FFFred Jackson would be another guy... because of where he was draftedWes Welker.. has been great in PPR leagues and definitely deserves a honorable mention.. but he really depends on how he produces down the stretch

I voted for Fred Jackson because of draft position, although Rodgers could easily be the one because of his ridiculous consistency.I'm in the FFPC Big Payback league, and I had the best draft I've ever had in 20 years of playing fantasy football:1) A. Johnson2) M. Forte3) A. Rodgers4) J. Graham5) S. Johnson6) F. JacksonYeah, I'm feeling pretty blessed these days.
