The leading candidate by odds for the award is Demar Hamlin, for perhaps obvious reasons. But what I've noticed over the years is there's a primacy/recency bias, and it's always a player that surges late in the season out of the group of candidates, and it's usually a QB (has been least 6 years), and someone putting up fantasy points (unfortunately). There's a social buzz around Lance for whatever reason, and if he gets dealt at the trade deadline, he'll be setup to exploit voters and be an exciting season refresh. Truth is I believe the players that will *actually* deserve the award by season's end will be either Calvin Ridley or Chase Young. 

*Note: this is only a bet I'd take because of the astounding +6000 odds and tiny capital allocation of $50 for myself.

I am a Lance supporter. Dude has all the talent in the world and I hope in a few years we are talking about him as a top 5 QB in the league but to be comeback player of the year, don't you usually have to have accomplished something before getting hurt and needing to make a comeback?
