Odds from Sportsbook, as of September 18, 2025
Barkley won the 2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award after becoming the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. After a mediocre Week, 1 he slipped to +1000 and No. 3 on the board and we told you on this page it was a good buy low opportunity for Barkley. Sure enough, he bounced back after a nice Week 2 effort with 88 yards and a touchdown and is back to +700.
NFL Offensive Player of the Year Risers: Derrick Henry
Ravens running back Derrick Henry had a monster game in Week 1 (despite a costly fumble) as he rumbled for 169 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Bills. Henry now leads the pack ahead of Barkley, Bijan Robinson, and Ja'Marr Chase.
NFL Offensive Player of the Year analysis: Henry Takes a Hit
Ravens running back Derrick Henry had a monster game in Week 1 (despite a costly fumble) as he rumbled for 169 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Bills. That game catapulted him up to the top of the odds board with +550 odds but he has come back down to earth with a +900 number.
NFL Offensive Player of the Year analysis: Jefferson Falls
No matter how talented a wide receiver is, they need a good quarterback to stack numbers for an award like this. Jefferson was +1600 before last week and that number has dropped like a rock all the way to +2500. With Carson Wentz set to take over at quarterback for a struggling JJ McCarthy, we'll see if he can move the needle for Jefferson in this market (I doubt it).
