Supercomputer Projects Josh Allen as 2026 MVP Favorite

Josh Allen leads a CSB supercomputer’s projections for the 2026 NFL MVP award, with a 19.3% chance of winning, ahead of Lamar Jackson at 15.6% and Joe Burrow at 11.4%. The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense enters its Week 2 matchup with Indianapolis after limiting Denver to 10 points, though injuries to Chris Jones and Mansoor Delane, along with Chamarri Conner’s absence, could weaken the unit. Kansas City is expected to emphasize the running game while trying to contain Colts star Jonathan Taylor, who is viewed as the key to Indianapolis’ offense. Fantasy analysts also expect Kansas City running back Kenneth Walker to remain heavily involved after a strong Week 1 performance, while Cincinnati’s defense looks improved after forcing four fumbles and recording four sacks against Tampa Bay. In Minnesota, Kyler Murray remains in concussion protocol, making Carson Wentz the likely starter against Chicago if Murray is not cleared, while Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase says his injured knee feels healthy despite a quiet season opener.
