For the second year in a row, all signs point to a running back winning the NFL’s Offensive Player of the year award, at least through 10 weeks.
The Niners’ Christian McCaffrey won the award last year, after racking up 1,459 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, along with 564 receiving yards and seven receiving scores.
However, he is not in the running for OPOY, considering he just returned from injury in Week 10.
So if not McCaffrey, who will be named the league’s top offensive star this season?
Here’s a look at the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook as of Nov. 12.
NFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR ODDS:
Derrick Henry, Ravens RB: -140 (bet $10 to win $17.14 total)
Saquon Barkley, Eagles RB: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals WR: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Justin Jefferson, Vikings WR: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Lamar Jackson, Ravens QB: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)
Henry leads the league in carries (184), rushing yards (1,120) and rushing touchdowns (12). Between Week 3 and Week 7, he tallied 743 rushing yards (148.6 yards per game) and six scores.
In Week 10, he had 16 carries for 68 yards and a score. He’s scored a rushing TD in nine of the Ravens’ 10 games this season.
In the game in which he didn’t score a rushing TD, he had a receiving score.
Henry was named Offensive Player of the Year back in 2020.
Making the biggest move up the board is Cincy’s Ja’Marr Chase, who was dominant against the Ravens in Week 10. He caught 11 balls for 265 yards and three scores.
He now leads the league in receptions (66), receiving yards (961) and receiving touchdowns (10).
With that, his odds moved from +1600 to +550.
