nfl offensive Rookie of the Year odds Movement
Per the betting table, Daniels is the favorite among NFL Offensive ROY odds at +375, an iota ahead of Williams and Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Both are set at +400 odds. After rushing for two scores in his pro debut, Daniels responded by completing 23-of-29 passes for 226 yards with no interceptions in Sunday’s victory over the Giants.
Daniels’ preseason odds were near +500, so his turnover-free outings helped him jump Williams and Co., but not by much.
In fact, no rookie signal-caller has thrown a touchdown through two weeks. They’ve combined for the most consecutive pass attempts by rookies without a TD pass to begin a season in NFL history.
Couple that with Harrison’s breakout game in Week 2, tallying four receptions (via eight targets) for 130 yards and two scores, and his chances to take home the award improved by nearly 14 percentage points. For reference, his price tag was +800 after Week 1.
Giants wideout Malik Nabors and Raiders tight end Brock Bowers have also risen considerably on the board. Between the two, Bowers’ surge is more headline-worthy, with his preseason odds of +4500 shrinking to +1500. His nine-catch, 98-yard showing was instrumental in Las Vegas’ Week 2 upset at Baltimore.
Bowers leads all tight ends in targets (17), receptions (15), yards (156), and explosive plays of 20-plus yards (3).
buy the dip with Bo nix?
The odds for Daniels and Williams are similar to their opening price points, but that isn’t the case for Broncos QB Bo Nix. His standout preseason caused his odds to dip to +1050, but he’s shot up to +3600 after his first two starts. Nix’s four picks are a sizeable factor. He owns the third-worst EPA per dropback, narrowly ahead of the aforementioned Williams and Bryce Young.
Granted, Nix will face Tampa Bay’s banged-up secondary in Week 3. Some bet365 Sportsbook users may consider this a buy-low opportunity on his Offensive ROY odds. But I’ll pass on a bet that gears toward Denver’s offense having upside.
