Aaron Rodgers has been extremely efficient this season. He has lost just two of his ten games and has only thrown four interceptions. He ranks second in the NFL in passer rating, fourth in QBR and fifth in touchdown passes.

The reigning NFL MVP is making a solid case to win it again this season. It would be his fourth NFL MVP award and just one shy of the record set by Peyton Manning.

#2 - Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

Last week: #2

Despite a rough game last week, Dak Prescott is still having the best season of his career. He ranks third in the NFL in completion percentage and sixth in passer rating while throwing for 20 touchdowns. The Dallas Cowboys are the top-ranked offense this season and Dak Prescott is a big reason why. He has an opportunity to win his first NFL MVP with a solid finish to the season.

#1 - Tom Brady, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last week: #5

Tom Brady has taken over the lead in the NFL MVP race after a solid performance this week on Monday Night Football. He got the Buccaneers back on track after two straight losses.

Tom Brady currently leads the NFL in touchdown passes while also ranking in the top five in QBR, passer rating and passing yards. Brady, like Rodgers, is seeking his fourth NFL MVP award.
