The MVP is locked down.
That could have been said months ago, but when Patrick Mahomes II joined the 50-touchdown, 5,000-yard club on Sunday against the Raiders it's a lock for the record books. That's an exclusive stat combo that just one other player has done in NFL history -- Peyton Manning when he set the single-season record for both stats in 2013. Mahomes came up five TDs short of tying the record and his yardage mark was the eighth best in history behind campaigns from Manning, Brees (four times), Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. Every one of those QBs was in their 30s when those dominating years happened, meanwhile Mahomes is just 22 years old.
His Rookie Cards and autographs can be found throughout 2017 NFL and draft pick products -- he's got more than 2,500 different cards so far and close to 1,000 different autographed cards. Nearly all of them are from Panini America, though he does also have ink from Leaf Trading Cards and SAGE. >> Check out his autos on eBay There's no doubt that this is peak Mahomes right now ... but could there be more upward momentum before we see a dip? When might that dip happen? Nobody knows and we're probably all wondering ... and that's why his cardboard keeps on selling.

-- Josh Allen When it comes to rushing yards this week, one could argue that the Buffalo Bills QB had one of the best weeks of anybody with nine carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns. He had three TDs and 224 yards through the air, too, in a 42-17 win over the Dolphins to cap a rookie season out of Wyoming that offers some hope for Bills collectors. His final line for the year? In just 12 games, 10 passing TDs and 12 picks for 2,074 yards. On the ground, 89 carries for 631 yards and eight TDs. His RCs from this season might be worth a look as long as you don't overpay. >> Check out his autos on eBay

-- Blake Jarwin He was a walk-on at Oklahoma State and went undrafted this year, but this TE had a day against the Giants on Sunday with seven catches for 119 yards and three TDs. Call it a break-out kind of game. He also eclipsed his Rookie Card total in that one -- he has just two RCs in Contenders and Elite draft sets and those releases are where you will find his only certified autographs. >> Check out his autos on eBay

-- George Kittle You've seen him right here before and on Sunday he wrote himself into the NFL record book with a nine-catch 149-yard day that was enough to help him set a new record for receiving yards for a TE. He ends the year with 1,377 yards and five TDs in his sophomore season. He's got nearly 60 different autos but only seven Rookie Cards among his more than 150 made since his cardboard debut last year. He can be found in Absolute, Elite, Limited, Contenders, National Treasures and Phoenix. >> Check out his autos on eBay

-- Derrick Henry Henry didn't have a monster week this week by his own recent standards -- just 93 yards on 16 carries without a score -- but the yards got him quietly to the 1,000-yard club for the year. He's one of just nine RBs to get that mark this year and only one scored more TDs than his 12 ... a guy named Todd Gurley. Henry's RCs are found back in 2016 releases and might have a little more steam than several of the other RBs on the list before him this season. He's one to watch early next year to see if his strong finish this season continues. >> Check out his autos on eBay

-- Baker Mayfield The most passing touchdowns by an NFL rookie is a record shared by this Cleveland Browns QB, Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning after a Sunday loss to the Ravens. He threw 26 TDs this year and, most importantly in the record books, helped the Browns to a 7-8-1 record. That's their best record since 2014 and fewest losses since 2007. There seems to be a few young stars with cardboard potential in Cleveland but Mayfield is atop the list. >> Check out his autos on eBay
