You might have heard once, twice or 874 times that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has yet to receive a single vote for MVP in his eight previous NFL seasons. There's a good chance that changes in a few months' time, as Wilson was widely viewed as the MVP front-runner for much of September and October.
But the 31-year-old has slipped up in recent weeks, while former MVPs Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers have both picked up steam in MVP conversations.
Those three have by far the top odds at DraftKings, with dark-horse candidates like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Arizona Cardinals signal-caller Kyler Murray, future Hall of Fame quarterbacks Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger and NFL touchdown leader Dalvin Cook all populating the next tier of candidates.
