#3 Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz was putting together a stunning 2017 season, until a torn ACL ended his season early. Wentz was firmly in the running for league MVP until that week 14 injury against the Rams. He threw for 3296 yards, with an incredible 33 TDs and 7 INTs. If he can replicate that sort of form, then he will easily be in with a chance of earning MVP honours.
The Eagles, fresh off of the back of their Super Bowl win, have a great all round team, with no real weaknesses. There has been talk of Wentz having to adapt his elusive style of play, to more of that of a pocket passer. That is a rumour that Wentz has been quick to dismiss, whilst stepping up his rehab from injury.

The Philadelphia faithful are hopeful to have their star QB available for their week one matchup against the Falcons. There is likely to be some regression from Wentz this season as his TD rate was phenomenal in 2017. That being said, if he can get healthy and play 15/16 games, then I expect the Eagles to go deep in to the playoffs again.
