Under-the-Radar 2018 NFL MVP Candidates:
For those fans tired of hearing about the usual candidates for NFL MVP, [Bleacher Report's Maurice Morton is
taking the time to dig a little deeper](http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2778082-under-the-radar-2018-nfl-mvp-candidates#slide5) for some under-the-radar bids. The five players chosen have something in common: They are projected to lead their offensive units as focal points.
Here are the top five under-the-radar candidates for 2018 NFL MVP:
1) RB Leonard Fournette, Jaguars**
2) QB Jared Goff, Rams
"Quarterback Jared Goff made a noteworthy jump between the 2016 and 2017 campaigns.
As a rookie, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2016 draft didn't complete 55 percent of his passes. In 2017, he resembled a skilled maestro leading a symphony. Goff tossed 28 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions. The California product moved the ball downfield in chunks, leading the league with 12.9 yards per completion. If not for running back Todd Gurley II's stellar season, for which he earned Offensive Player of the Year, Goff would have more hype as an MVP candidate."
3) QB Deshaun Watson, Texans
*4) RB Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys *
*5) QB Eli Manning, Giants *
