MVP winners and votes often receive scrutiny for being narrative driven, or based on high visibility moments rather than actual value.
Aaron Schatz (creator of DVOA and general analytics darling) has confirmed he is one of the 50 AP chosen MVP voters this year.

We don't know exactly what criteria he will use, but likely his picks will tie to more sophisticated value added metrics, that I imagine might be closer to the average Manifold users interests/evaluation. So this market might also serve to show NFL Manifoldees opinion of who should be the top 5 selections.
He plans to write an article (after the votes are released) about his choices which is when I will resolve this market with his 1st-5th place selections. Each of the 5 place selections that he makes will resolve to "YES" (regardless of the place).
I've started the market with the top 7 QB favorites, and Hill/McCaffrey for variety, but am interested in your undervalued additions!
