Josh Allen heads into the 2026 NFL season as the favorite to win his second Most Valuable Player award in three seasons. Allen is the +600 favorite to win MVP, followed by Lamar Jackson (+850) and Joe Burrow (+900), according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Reigning league MVP Matthew Stafford has the ninth-best odds at 16-1, falling slightly after a tough season debut. Drake Maye, who finished runner-up last season, fell from 10-1 to 18-1 following the New England Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.
The first non-QB on the board, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, checks in at a 25th-best 100-1... longer than Daniel Jones and Tyler Shough, both of whom are 90-1.
Meanwhile, the Offensive Rookie of the Year odds board reflects a different reality than MVPs, with several non-quarterbacks favored to take home the hardware. Running backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price and wide receiver Carnell Tate (+600) top the OROY odds board, with 2026 first pick Fernando Mendoza being the first QB to check in, at +700.
