Kimes and Solak predict Burrow wins MVP with resolved injuries, OL, and schedule.

Mina Kimes and Ben Solak predict Joe Burrow will win MVP in 2026. Kimes cites three resolved issues—injuries, offensive line, and defensive play—that previously limited his potential. She highlights that Burrow has never won MVP, has no contract drama with wide receivers, a "sneaky decent" offensive line, and faces the 32nd-ranked schedule per FTN Fantasy Almanac. Solak agrees the MVP is narrative-driven and credits Burrow, not coaching staff, for the Bengals' improvement this year.
