FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week

FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week
Awarded for	Top performances for quarterbacks and either running backs, wide receivers or tight ends in the NFL
Presented by	FedEx
History
First award	2003
Website	Official website

The following is a list of the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week award, sponsored by FedEx. First presented in 2003, 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. Each week during the regular season, a list of nominees is developed, based on exemplary individual statistical performances from that week's games (Thursday–Monday). The weekly winners are then voted on by fans via an online poll at NFL.com and the winners are typically announced on Wednesday.

From 2003 to 2023, the "Air" category was specifically reserved for quarterbacks, and the "Ground" category was reserved for running backs, with one weekly winner designated for each category. Starting in 2024, the eligibility was updated to include wide receivers and tight ends. Since 2024, a total of six nominees are presented (sans category) – with no set number and no minimum or maximum, per position. The top two voter-getters overall are named the "Air & Ground Players of the Week". At the conclusion of the season, a list of finalists is presented, and two players are voted as the "Air & Ground Players of the Year".
