Website Official website

The following is a list of the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week award, sponsored by FedEx. Since 2024, following each week of the NFL regular season, six finalists are chosen, based on exemplary individual statistical performances. Three players are nominated for the "Air" award (quarterbacks) and three are nominated for the "Ground" award (running backs, wide receivers or tight ends), but only one player from each category will take the title. The weekly winners are voted on by fans via an online poll at NFL.com. The "Air" and "Ground" categories are duly named and inspired by FedEx's cargo airline and ground transportation services, FedEx Express and FedEx Ground, respectively. At the conclusion of the season, three overall finalists are selected for the "Air" and "Ground" players of the year.
