Bears quarterback Caleb Williams enters his first NFL season as the betting favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Williams has odds of +200, making him the clear favorite, via DraftKings. If Williams wins the award, he would be the first overall pick to do so since Kyler Murray in 2019.
The player with the next shortest odds is Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the fourth overall pick, whose betting odds are +600.
The other rookie quarterbacks with Rookie of the Year chances are Washington’s Jayden Daniels at +650, Minnesota’s JJ McCarthy at +800, New England’s Drake Maye at +1600 and Denver’s Bo Nix at +1600. Atlanta’s Michael Penix, who is expected to spend his rookie year (and maybe a few years after that) backing up Kirk Cousins, has an extreme odds at +6000.
Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers’ odds of winning rookie of the year are +1,200, and he is followed among wide receivers by Kansas City’s Xavier Worthy at +1,600, Chicago’s Rome Odunze at + 2,200, Brian Thomas of Jacksonville, +2,500, Keon Coleman of Buffalo. at +3,000 and Adonai Mitchell of Indianapolis at +3,500.
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is a long shot at +3500, and every running back is an even longer shot: Cardinals running back Trey Benson has the shortest odds among running backs at +4000.
For extreme long shots, the Chargers face Joe Alt, Titans face JC Latham, Jets face Olu Fashanu, Saints face Taliese Fuaga and Bengals face Amarius Mims are all listed at +30,000, meaning a $100 bet on either of them would yield a payout of $30,000. No offensive lineman has ever won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
