Like Warner, Forte is greatly outplaying his draft position. Drafted on average at the 67th spot, Forte is giving his owners first round value.

The Bears' back has gone for double digits in every game this season except one. I mean, it's come to the point where he's now in the debate for next year's first overall selection. If that's not MVP caliber, I don't know what is.

Bruno Boys Ziza:  When you guys mention MVP's, I think of a player that has out performed his position on a whole other level than anyone else has.

Cavigs, you mention Warner. Whooley, you mention Forte, and despite them outplaying their draft position by a huge margin, I really don't think that warrants a free ride to MVP consideration.

Look at the numbers closely. Heading into week 13, seven of the top ten point scorers this season have been at QB. In fact, the difference between the No. 1 QB and the No. 7 QB is just 36 points, and that No. 7 quarterback would be Peyton Manning, who is on fire as of late, meaning the gap could be closed even further in the next couple of weeks.

Then you go to RB's. Forte ranks No. 3 behind Turner and Portis, but then has nine other RB's within around 20 fantasy points of himself for the 2008 totals. That does not reek of excellence amongst excellence either, if you ask me.

My MVP for the 2008 fantasy football season goes to WR Anquan Boldin. Despite missing a few games due to a horrific injury, he leads all WR's in fantasy points. He is the only WR so far with double-digit TD's with 11, the next closest being 8 and is in the top-6 for reception yardage.

If he hadn't missed any time, can you imagine what his numbers really could have been? And unlike both of your candidates, Boldin does not have a rival for what he does every single game, the next closest being Larry Fitzgerald, his partner. But if Fitzgerald had missed some time and Boldin had not, the numbers would even be further apart.

Lightning Round! (Fantasy Football Questions in a Flash)

Real Deal or One Week Wonder

1. Maurice Morris: 17 points vs. Washington

Bruno Boys Ziza:  ONE WEEK WONDER. Morris had not done much until the excellent week against Washington in Week 12. There is no doubt in my mind that he will return to a RB that can get the TD once in a great while, but for the most part be more of a supporting cast member than a leader.

Bruno Boys Whooley: ONE WEEK WONDER. As I type this, Morris currently sits with just three fantasy points for his week 13 outing. Not quite the follow up a "real deal" would have to the 17-point effort he had last week. In fact, Morris' week 12 outing was the only outing of the season in which he has gone for double digits.

Bruno Boys Cavigs: ONE WEEK WONDER. Over the past few weeks Morris has emerged as the primary running back in Seattle but he still is more of a hit-or-miss option than a solid weekly threat. He might have a good game or two left in the tank, but his risk outweighs his reward.

2. Darren McFadden: 16 points @ Denver

Bruno Boys Ziza:  NEITHER. Let me explain why. His role has changed a little over the past week. Since he can not cut and slash, the Raiders coaching staff has decided to use his brawn and turn him into a goal-line back. He had 10 rushes for 38 yards and another 2 receptions for a total of 14 yards.

That is a combined 52 yards, worth 5.2 fantasy points. The TD's are what put him over the top, adding another 12 points to his value in most leagues. Those TD's won't be there every week, but they could come again.

Bruno Boys Whooley: REAL DEAL. With the success of rookie runners like Chris Johnson and Matt Forte, McFadden, who was supposed to be the elite runner of this class has been somewhat a disappointment this season as he's been bitten by the injury bug, but look for the Raiders' back to finish off the season on a high note as Oakland faces some of the weaker rush defenses in the league.

Bruno Boys Cavigs: REAL DEAL. The Raiders did a good job of getting McFadden involved around the goal line and with some favorable match ups the rest of the year, he should be able to act as a solid fantasy contributer from here on out.
