NFL MVP Chase

Note: the MVP Chase is explained here.

The Vikings had a bye week last week, giving several players the chance to pass Sam Darnold as the leader of the MVP Chase. Two stepped up to the challenge, with Derrick Henry claiming the top stop and C.J. Stroud second. Week 14 is the bye week for both, so if their teams keep winning we could have a back-and-forth affair.

Then again, any player ranked 3–8 could claim the #1 spot depending on who wins, who loses, and who has a great game. We can also congratulate D’Andre Swift for cracking the Top Ten, but he’ll probably slip out as the Bears have a bye this week.

In the second ten, Caleb Williams is, perhaps surprisingly, ahead of fellow rookie Jayden Daniels, but he’ll be off just like his teammate Swift. Here is the top twenty in the MVP Chase.

  1. Derrick Henry, RB, Titans, 5.746 MVP Points
  2. C.J. Stroud, QB, Texans, 5.196
  3. Sam Darnold, QB, Vikings, 4.649
  4. Josh Allen, QB, Bills, 4.377
