Derrick Henry (Baltimore Ravens): It was a slow start to the season and to this Ravens tenure, but over the past five weeks, Derrick Henry has garnered the lead league in rushing yards with 873. After taking 15 carries for 169 yards against the Commanders, Henry not only leads the league in rushing yards, but he has ten total touchdowns.

Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles): One of the most significant moves this offseason was Barkley's departure from New York to play for the Eagles in his home state. In his first game in an Eagles uniform, Barkley made quite the impression on his new fan base by finding the endzone three times and picking up 109 yards on the ground. After seven weeks, Barkley is third in the league in rushing yards with 658 while accounting for six total touchdowns.

Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings): Whether or not Justin Jefferson would have consistency at the quarterback position was a big concern for bettors looking to back him for this award. At the end of the day, any quarterback will force-feed Jefferson the ball, and in his first start with the team, Sam Darnold did just that as he found Jefferson four times for 59 yards and a touchdown. Through six weeks, not only are the Vikings 5-1, but Jefferson has 531 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

T.J. Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers): Four first-place votes separated T.J. Watt and his second DPOY Award last season. While it was Myles Garrett who would end up winning, Watt still finished the year as the league leader in sacks (19), which is the third time he’s done that in his career.

With the Steelers' offense continuing to be below average this season, Pittsburgh must again rely on their defense. Well, that strategy worked in week one, and T.J. Watt picked up four tackles, a sack, and recovered a fumble. Through seven weeks, Watt is 14th in the league with 4.5 sacks on top of 26 tackles and three forced fumbles.

Will Anderson Jr. (Houston Texans): Houston hit two home runs in the first round of the 2023 draft between Stroud and Anderson Jr. The second-year defensive end has started the season by picking up 6.5 sacks and 20 tackles, as he was able to record another sack in the Texans' loss to the Packers over the weekend.

Chris Jones (Kansas City Chiefs): The Chiefs have moved to 6-0 on the season, and frankly, the defense deserves most of the credit. Jones is the focal point of the Kansas City defense, and after a win on Sunday over the 49ers, he is boasting three sacks, one forced fumble, and 12 tackles on the year.
