Three other receivers – the Green Bay Packers’ Davante Adams, the Cleveland Browns’ Odell Beckham Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones – are also +12500. Arizona Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins is the only other WR listed at +15000.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is the favorite at +325.

Tyreek Hill’s stats
Hill, a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, rose to fame largely as a return specialist. He broke out as a wide receiver in 2018, catching 87 passes for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Injuries to himself and Mahomes limited Hill to just 58 receptions for 860 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games last season. He attempted just one punt return and no kick returns in the 2019 regular season.
Is Tyreek Hill worth a 2020 NFL MVP bet?
PASS on an MVP wager for Hill. All eyes are and will continue to be on Mahomes as he attempts to lead the defending Super Bowl champs back to the postseason.
TE Travis Kelce remains the focal point of the passing attack. While he’s unlisted – has no odds – to be named MVP, he’s likely to post a more impressive season stat line than Hill. But it will be Mahomes again getting the credit for the accomplishments of his top pass-catchers.
