Whelan and Duffy are the Premier Division’s joint top scorers with four goals after five matches played.
The Derry star’s spectacular hat-trick in his side’s come-from-behind 4-2 win over Waterford helped him seal the honour.
Duffy has built on an impressive campaign last year in which he scored 14 goals in all competitions and surpassed 150 appearances for his hometown club.
Twice voted the PFA Ireland Player of the Year, Duffy also won the monthly gong as recently as last June.
“I am delighted to win this award again for myself and my team, and I think it’s recognition that we must be doing something right in Derry. It helps to keep the standards high and pushes us on to be even better as the season progresses,” Duffy said.
