Who is the NFL MVP favorite?

No Tyreek Hill, no problem. Mahomes is the favorite to win the MVP, which would be his second MVP award. The Chiefs quarterback has helped the Chiefs lead the league in scoring, while leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns himself.

Hurts has led his team to an undefeated first half of the season, producing huge numbers with both his arm and legs. The third-year quarterback accounted for 18 touchdowns through eight games.

Buffalo's signal caller is having another terrific season, throwing for over 2,400 yards and 19 touchdowns, along with four rushing touchdowns through eight games. An elbow injury that he suffered in Week 9 is a concern that could hurt his candidacy.

Miami's offense has taken a huge step forward this season, and Tagovailoa has shined in the process. He completed nearly 70% of his passes with 15 touchdowns through Week 9.

Despite numerous injuries around him, Jackson continues to play well and likely earn money on his pending contract in the process. He had over 1,700 yards passing and 600 yards rushing through nine games.

Burrow has overcome appendicitis to pick up where he left off last season, throwing for over 2,500 yards and 18 touchdowns in his first nine games. An injury to Ja'Marr Chase could stand slow down his statistical pace, but Burrow is very much in the MVP running.

Few would have believed Smith had a realistic shot at MVP, but his play has been clearly outstanding. The journeyman quarterback led the league in completion rate through Week 9, passing for nearly 2,200 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Playing through a rib injury and without his star wideouts for much of the season, Herbert has stood his ground in his third season. Through eight games, he threw for over 2,200 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Cousins has taken a liking to new head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, even if that stats haven't been spectacular early on. He had nearly 2,000 yards passing and 13 touchdowns through eight games played.

Hill has flirted with a record-breaking receiving yardage pace for most of the season, putting him in the thick of the MVP race. The Cheetah leads the NFL in both receptions and receiving yards while helping revitalize the Dolphins' offense.

Jefferson is having his third incredible season in three years, on pace to shatter last year's 1,616 receiving yards very easily. The Vikings wideout continues to be one of the faces of the NFL.

Five consecutive 100-yard rushing games vaulted the Titans and put Henry back on the MVP radar. He leads the league in rushing yards per game once again, along with carries.

Prescott missed much of the first half of the regular season with a hand injury, but he's done his best to pick up where he left off. The Cowboys' signal caller helped the team score 49 points against Chicago in Week 8, but would need an exemplary second half of the season to have any chance of winning the MVP.

Murray remains the heart and soul of the Cardinals' offense, though the unit has been inconsistent in the first half of the season. He did have nearly 2,200 yards passing and 359 yards rushing through nine games.

The Raiders are in a huge hole at 2-7, though Carr has nearly played up to last year's standard. Any turnaround would get noticed and improve his MVP odds considerably.

Diggs continues to be in the conversation as one of the best wideouts in the game, leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns through Week 9. He continues to be Buffalo's No. 1 wideout but is a longshot as an MVP candidate.

The prospect of Brady winning his fourth MVP doesn't look great, but Brady still has time to turn things around. Like last season he has led the NFL in completions and attempts and was picked off only once in his first nine games.

Stafford has struggled through much of the 2022 season after winning the Super Bowl. He sat out Week 10 with a concussion and is still having problems with interceptions. Perhaps a week off will give his performance a jolt.

Kupp won Offensive Player of the Year in 2021 with incredible numbers, and his pace wasn't far off early this season before suffering an ankle injury in Week 10. That injury could end his MVP candidacy.

Lawrence has undoubtedly shown huge improvement compared to his rookie season, with much accuracy and fewer turnarounds. Unfortunately, Jacksonville hasn't seen much improvement in the win column, which is what they will need for Lawrence to build MVP momentum.

The stats haven't been huge, but Jones has been an efficient game manager who led five game-winning drives through New York's first eight games. His efficiency under Brian Daboll has rightfully earned notice.

After three years of injuries, Barkley is back in the form we saw during his rookie season. The Giants running back had nearly 1,000 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns through eight games.

Parsons is the favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, but MVP would be a tall order. He recorded eight sacks and one touchdown through his first eight games.

Adams has seen some struggles in his new home with the Raiders, but he did have four 100-yard games through nine weeks. The pace will need to pick up for Adams to see MVP votes.

The running game remains the heart and soul of the Browns' offense, and Chubb is having another terrific season. He had 841 yards rushing and a league-leading 10 touchdowns through his first eight games.

McCaffrey helped his MVP cause in his second game with the 49ers when he had 149 yards from scrimmage and contributed three touchdowns against the Rams. Healthy so far this season, the former Panther is on pace to near 2,000 yards from scrimmage.
