What’s Happening

Brock Purdy has emerged as a central figure in the 2026 NFL MVP race, with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback leading his team to an undefeated 5-0 start. Through the first four weeks, NFL.com's MVP tracker ranked Purdy at the top of the leaderboard, citing his command of the position as unmatched early in the season. The 49ers' perfect record has positioned Purdy as a legitimate candidate for the league's biggest individual award, though the season remains far from decided. [NFL.com, Oct 6]

Statistically, Purdy has built a compelling case. He leads the NFL with an 83.1 QBR and is tied for the league lead with 14 touchdown passes, while taking just five sacks on the season. His accuracy has been elite, posting a 5.1% completion percentage over expectation and completing an NFL-high 88% of his passes to open receivers with three-plus yards of separation, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. ESPN's panel of NFL executives and coaches ranked Purdy among the top five MVP candidates, noting his effectiveness as a runner has made him even more difficult to defend. [ESPN, Oct 25]

Despite Purdy's strong start, the MVP odds have shifted. As of Nov. 3, ESPN's awards odds list Josh Allen as the favorite at +165, with Purdy second at +450, followed by Joe Burrow at +475 and Caleb Williams at +500. Earlier in October, Allen reclaimed the top spot over Purdy after Week 6 action. The 49ers' upcoming schedule and Purdy's ability to sustain his current pace through the second half of the season will determine whether he remains in the NFL MVP conversation. [ESPN, Nov 3]
