NFL MVP watch 2024: Ranking candidates with award odds, stats

We're more than halfway through the 2024 regular season, so it's a good time to look at the leading candidates for the NFL's Most Valuable Player award.

We asked our panel -- Jeremy Fowler, Mike Tannenbaum, Matt Miller, Jordan Reid, Kalyn Kahler, Seth Walder, Dan Graziano, Field Yates, Matt Bowen, Aaron Schatz, Dan Orlovsky, Ben Solak and myself -- to rank the top players in the MVP race through 11 weeks. We used those 13 sets of rankings to compile our consensus top-five contenders.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson still reigns supreme as our MVP front-runner, but the gap between him and the rest of the field has closed.
