Ranking MVP candidates after Week 2: Josh Allen takes early lead, but a RB not too far behind
CBS ranks MVP candidates after Week 2, with Josh Allen leading a field of 10 and a running back close behind.
Evaluating 10 players who have made a case for early MVP consideration
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartMVP columns are trophy talk, not roster advice. Allen is rostered everywhere that matters and has already dropped 39.0 and 43.3 in back-to-back weeks, so a magazine ranking tells you nothing you didn't know. He's a top-7 point favorite this week with a 50.5 total, meaning the volume stays obscene. Start him and ignore the award chatter entirely.
