There’s a new man at the top of our Offensive Player of the Year rankings.

And it’s getting chilly in here.

With ice running through his veins, the ultra-composed Matt Ryan is playing at a level right now that has us thinking we’re seeing a new guy entering the ranks of the elite QB. But he can’t afford to drop off given the quality of play we’re getting at the QB spot.

There are some people you’ll be surprised not to see in this list. Roddy White is hurt by far too many penalties and bad plays (though he still ranks as our third overall receiver), Adrian Peterson has dropped out as the Vikings’ funk catches on to his most recent display and we’re ignoring the Michael Vick question for this week.

So, just who did make the list?

1. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons (+44.5)

Ryan is playing such good football right now that any bad throw he makes is actually a bit of a shock. He was near flawless against the Rams as he dissected their defense and controlled the clock for another Atlanta win. Last week: 3rd

I must be watching the games through my "biased" goggles. Don't remember Roddy getting a lot of penalties. Maybe a couple critical drops, but that's about it.

yeah roddys mishaps have been over the last couple weeks, thats all i can remember.

He had a few penalties in the Rams game.

False start, OPI, and something else I think.

plus a few drops in recent weeks but he is still above average on the season and indisputably our teams mvp.

I get the complaints about drops, penalties, etc., but who the hell do they have ahead of Roddy as the 1 and 2 overall receivers?

Even if you don't consider him offensive player of the year, he's still the best receiver in football.

It's really too soon to be naming Players of the Year.

Ya, I opened my big mouth too soon. Didn't get to watch the Rams game until today. That was a pretty sloppy start for him, I'll admit. BUT.... I still say it's UN-characteristic, and not characteristic of him.
