2020 NFL MVP Power Rankings

MVP Power Rankings

Ryan Cearfoss @Foss534

Two weeks into the season we’ve seen some fantastic performances in the NFL, with some old faces and some new breaking out. While the season is early it’s not too late to look at the best of the best.

1. Russell Wilson- Seattle Seahawks

Pass Yards	Pass TDS	INT	Comp %	Rush Yards	Rush TDs
610	9	1	82.5	68	0

Mr. Unlimited has been lights-out thru the 2020 season. Wilson has only 2 more incompletions then touchdowns on the season. With the best group of receivers Wilson has ever had he’s taking complete advantage shredding defenses helping Seattle having the top-scoring team in the NFL. Next week the Seahawks have the Cowboys which should lead to another game of gaudy production for Wilson. 

2. Josh Allen- Buffalo Bills

Pass Yards	Pass TDS	INT	Comp %	Rush Yards	Rush TDs
729	6	0	70.4	75	5

The preconceived notions we had about Josh Allen from when he came out of college thru the NFL draft process need to go away. Allen last year scratched and clawed to have that offense produce this year he’s letting it fly thru the air. At this point in the season, Allen is leading the league in passing as well as producing on the ground. The Bills did the right thing building around their young signal-caller and he’s proving to them they made the right decision. Coming up the Bills have their first matchup against a playoff contender where Allen will be asked to keep his offense in the game against a high powered team. This is the perfect opportunity to prove himself and shows that he didn’t produce just against bad defenses.

3. Lamar Jackson- Baltimore Ravens

Pass Yards	Pass TDS	INT	Comp %	Rush Yards	Rush TDs
479	4	0	77.6	99	0

The reigning MVP is picking up right where he left off last season masterfully running the Ravens offense in two dominating performances. The Ravens offense looks like an unstoppable force with Jackson in the driver’s seat in two blow out wins. No team seems to truly have an answer which keeps Jackson as an MVP front runner. With an upcoming matchup against the Chiefs, Jackson will have the opportunity to jump into the driver’s seat of the MVP race. 

4. Patrick Mahomes – Kansas City Chiefs

Pass Yards	Pass TDS	INT	Comp %	Rush Yards	Rush TDs
513	5	0	64.6	54	0

Another week another comeback win for Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to an overtime win against the Chargers. While it may not have been one of his best performances he made spectacular plays to bring the Chiefs back into the game and take his team to another win. This season the Chiefs offense has been a little more diverse running the ball more than we are used to seeing but when it comes down to it Mahomes will be unleashed and this week against Baltimore we should see it. 

5. Kyler Murray- Arizona Cardinals

Pass Yards	Pass TDS	INT	Comp %	Rush Yards	Rush TDs
516	2	2	66.7	158	3

The second-year breakout is upon us for Kyler Murray. In two games against top tier defenses, (yes Washington has a great defense) Murray has made a ton of plays to help his team win. Showing off his dynamic ability to produce with his arm and legs Murray is proving he can compete with the best in the NFL. The Cardinals gifted Murray with one of the best receivers in the game and he’s taking advantage of it. The way he’s growing as a quarterback we may see him in the MVP race for a long time.
