Who will win NFL MVP? Josh Allen leads power rankings after Week 1

Josh Allen has surged to the front of early Most Valuable Player discussions following the conclusion of the NFL's opening week in 2026. The Buffalo Bills signal-caller delivered an impressive performance in his initial outing, driving his squad to an early win and placing himself atop multiple national evaluation lists.

Opening week also featured successful starts for Lamar Jackson alongside victories for the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Chargers, while Bryce Young climbed dramatically up passer rankings. In contrast, the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans suffered setbacks during an unusually high-scoring kickoff slate that initially kicked off with a Wednesday contest.
