Patrick Mahomes remains in the top spot amid the Chiefs’ bye week, while things have gotten ugly for Russell Wilson’s campaign.
This is the 11th installment of FanSided‘s 17-part series of MVP award analysis.
Each week, the top five players in contention to take home the NFL’s most esteemed individual award are examined.
The series is a running tabulation of statistics, player performance, and of course, impact on team success. In that respect, this analysis should be considered a linear or non-episodic process.
Players currently on the fringe of MVP candidacy include Kyler Murray, Derrick Henry, Drew Brees, Derek Carr, Myles Garrett, and Ben Roethlisberger. No players exited the Stock Watch, but the order switched up a bit.
To remain on the MVP Stock Watch, players must continue their high-octane success on a weekly basis. If a player plays woefully in a given week, he will probably be jettisoned for awhile until his performance merits re-seeding.
Four quarterbacks and one running back is the current makeup of contenders.
After Week 10, here are the top five MVP award contenders for 2020.
**Please note: This series will consider sportsbooks odds but will largely weigh individual statistics and impact on the team by the particular player.
