Mid-Season Rankings

1) Patrick Mahomes

2) Alvin Kamara

3) Khalil Mack

4) Drew Brees

5) Jared Goff

*MVP rankings are updated every week

-Week 4 saw some huge offensive numbers. Jared Goff started out hot last Thursday night and ended the night engulfed. He threw for 465 yards and five touchdowns and took out the defending NFC champion Vikings on a national stage. With Jeff Fisher he looked like a bust. Pairing him with Sean McVay has made him a blossoming star. In an era. That game earned him a spot on my top five.

*At number four, Drew Brees is having another extraordinary season. In Week 3 he completed 39-49 passes for 396 yards and three touchdowns. He also added two touchdowns on the ground. For his final trick he broke the all-time completion record held by none other than Brett Favre.

*There are only three players having better years than Drew Brees and one of them is his running back Alvin Kamara. There was so much talk about his regression this season. I laughed at this people. Kamara is just a special talent. There’s no one like him in the league. He has 275 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns to go with 336 receiving yards and a touchdown. He became the first player in NFL history to have 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 yards receiving in his first 20 games according to ESPN Stats and Information.

*Khalil Mack has brought the Bears exactly what they have been missing: star power. Mack has absolutely dominated the NFC since joining the Bears via trade from the Raiders. In four games Mack has five sacks, four forced fumbles and interception that he returned for a touchdown. The Bears defense is ranked third in points allowed with 16.3 ppg. The Bears had a top ten defense last season but with Mack they are a top five unit.

*Patrick Mahomes should not be in the MVP race. He will be making his 6th start on Sunday. Yet he looks like he is a 10-year veteran. He’s broke some record in every game this year. He’s thrown for six touchdowns in a game. He lit up the league in his first three games with 13 touchdown passes. Then they said they wanted to see how Mahomes looked when he was not playing well and he was losing. Mahomes answered those questions by leading the Chiefs to a come from behind win against the Denver Broncos at Denver. There seems to be nothing this kid cannot do. He is a superstar and he will be in the MVP race for the next 10 years.
