Most likely NFL MVPs of 2016

Rodgers had a disappointing 2015 season, but he will have a healthy Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb returning this season. The Packers also signed Jared Cook for another weapon in Rodgers' arsenal.

Staying healthy has been an issue for Big Ben recently, but he produced MVP numbers while on the field last season. He threw for more than 3,900 yards and 21 touchdowns in only 12 games.

The reigning MVP hopes to rebound from a very disappointing Super Bowl performance. The return of Kelvin Benjamin at wideout can only help.

Wilson went on an MVP pace during the second half of 2015 when the Seahawks lost Thomas Rawls. With Jimmy Graham returning from injury, he could have an MVP Award in his future.

Brady is suspended for the first four games of the season, so putting money on him to win the MVP is a long shot, to say the least. If the Patriots are able to stay healthy, Brady can put up huge numbers when he's on the field.

Luck was rewarded with a huge contract during the offseason despite an awful 2015 season. He hopes to rebound this year after playing only seven games last year.

Palmer is the heart and soul of Arizona's offense, and he has arguably the best set of wide receiving weapons in football. While his play slipped late in the year, Palmer threw for more than 4,600 yard and 35 scores in 2015.

Manning continues to grow in the Giants' offense with Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants are getting Victor Cruz back from injury and also drafted Sterling Shepard in the second round. There's plenty of upside for Manning to put up big numbers.

Watt is a game changer on defense, but he could miss the start of the season due to back surgery. His recovery and effectiveness following the surgery will determine if he has a realistic shot at the MVP.

Romo fractured his collarbone twice last season, and Cowboys fans are praying he can stay healthy. The team drafted Ezekiel Elliott to help protect Romo and the team's mediocre defensive talent.

Peterson is still going strong at age 31, though he already had a minor injury in training camp. He ran for 1,485 yards last season, and if the Vikings are going to take the next step, it's likely Peterson who will take them there.

Brees continues to put up massive yardage numbers as he nears age 40. The Saints added Coby Fleener in the offseason to regain some of the magic they had with Jimmy Graham before last season.

Gurley is the face of the Rams, and they'll lean on him heavily this season with a rookie quarterback. They hope he can continue his 4.8 yards per carry pace with even more work than last season.

Dalton looked like a potential MVP last season before injuring his thumb. The loss of Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu and offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, along with Tyler Eifert's ankle injury, will make maintaining last season's pace difficult.

Carr has grown in two seasons as Oakland's quarterback, and there are optimists who believe he will lead the Raiders to the playoffs this season. He certainly has capable weapons at wideout, including Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.

The top receiver on the list, Brown had a gaudy 136 receptions for 1,834 yards and 10 scores last season. The numbers are more impressive considering the Steelers played four games without Ben Roethlisberger.

Bortles showed huge growth in his second season, with more than 4,400 yards and 35 touchdowns. If the Jags' defense shows improvement, the team's success could put Bortles in the MVP running.

Osweiler received a huge contract from the Texans in the offseason and has capable weapons that include DeAndre Hopkins and Lamar Miller. It remains to be seen if Osweiler can put up big numbers.

Ryan seemed lost late last season but still had more than 4,500 yards passing for the fourth straight year. His statistical consistency is impressive, at the very least.

Gronk will try to hold up backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the first four games of the season while Tom Brady serves his suspension. He had more than 1,100 yards receiving for the second straight year in 2015.

Rivers put up huge numbers again last season and will have Keenan Allen returning from injury along with the addition of Travis Benjamin. The return of offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt is as significant as any personnel addition.

Winston has claimed the Bucs as his team after only one season, passing for more than 4,000 yards in his rookie year. He's highly capable of building on that total.

Cousins' breakout season didn't earn him a lucrative long-term deal yet, but he's bound to receive it if he can have a repeat performance in 2016. A full year of DeSean Jackson healthy would certainly help.

Mariota impressed in his rookie season when he was healthy, but injury issues and lack of talent around him are concerning. If the Titans do make strides, it will likely be due to Mariota's contribution.

Bridgewater has been a game manager in his first two seasons with Minnesota, but he has been very accurate. The team hopes he can make a jump in his third season.
