By Evan Massey
Who are the NFL MVP favorites heading into Week 9?
The NFL season is halfway over, and there have been plenty of stories that have come up this season. Early on in the year it was mainly negative with off-the-field issues arising in a big way, and now there are a lot of good things going on. Whether that be the playoff race beginning to heat up, teams who are performing above or below expectations, or players who are making MVP cases, there are plenty of stories to keep an eye on.
One of the most intriguing stories to keep an eye on throughout the course of an entire regular season is the race for the MVP award. There are players that stand out each and every week, and there are usually a handful of players that truly are in contention for the award. That has been the case once again this season, and there are plenty of players who are on the outside looking in at this point in time.
It’s hard to compile a list of just five at the halfway point of the season, but there are five players that can be put on the list at this point in time. That being said, this list is definitely open to being changed and likely will change as the season continues forward.
Which five NFL players are currently the leaders for the MVP award, and how do they rank heading into Week 9?
