Ten weeks down, seven to go in the 2019 NFL season. The MVP race is at full speed, and as we move further beyond the halfway point into the final stretch of November and December games, three candidates make for an especially tight race right at the top.
First, the procedure: A panel of seven analysts -- Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Courtney Cronin, Jeremy Fowler, Dan Graziano, Kevin Seifert and Field Yates -- vote every four weeks on the top players in the MVP race. We use those seven sets of rankings to give our top five candidates overall, using Heisman Trophy-esque scaling for each ranking.
