2025-26 Offensive Player of the Year
Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts: +100
What to know: Colts’ workhorse running back Jonathan Taylor has helped the team reach their surprising 6-1 record. His 697 yards on the ground are a league-best, as are his 10 touchdowns. After the Colts defeated the Cardinals in Week 6, his odds shortened to +175 from +300, moving him into the top spot. And after his 94-yard, three-touchdown performance in Week 7, his odds moved even more to +100.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks: +400
What to know: Smith-Njigba has an incredible 819 receiving yards on the season (first), four TDs and 50 receptions (tied for fifth). In Seattle’s Week 7 win over Houston, he had 123 receiving yards, and his odds in this market moved to +400 from +475.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers: +550
What to know: It’s business as usual for dual-threat back McCaffrey. He has 132 carries (first), 465 rushing yards and 516 receiving yards through seven weeks for the 5-2 49ers.
Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons: +950
What to know: Through seven weeks, Robinson has 524 rushing yards and 390 receiving yards — a true-dual threat back. After his 170-yard rushing, 68-yard receiving Week 6 performance in the Falcons’ win at home over Buffalo, his odds moved to +400. His numbers in Week 7 dropped off, as the RB had 40 rushing yards and 52 receiving.
Puka Nacua, WR, Rams: +1100
What to know: In Week 6, Puka suffered an ankle injury in the Rams’ 17-3 win over the Ravens. Lucky for L.A. — and for Nacua — he avoided a season-ending injury and instead, is listed as day-to-day. He has the second-most receptions (54) and the third-most receiving yards (616) in the NFL.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Bengals: +1200
What to know: Chase’s 58 receptions are best in the NFL and his 629 yards are good for second. In Cincy’s 33-31 Week 7 win over Pittsburgh, he had 161 yards and a touchdown.
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions: +2200
