NFL Offensive Player of the Year (OPOY) Odds

Entering Week 16, oddsmakers view NFL OPOY as a two-horse race between Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jonathan Taylor.

Smith-Njigba opened at +5000 to win and took over as the market favorite entering Week 15. Week over week, oddsmakers moved his price from -350 to -500 after seven catches for 113 yards against Indianapolis.

Taylor has seen his price rapidly decline of late. At one point in the season, oddsmakers priced Taylor north of -200 to win the award. As Indianapolis’ results have tailed off, his price shrunk to +750.

Despite a decent performance in Seattle, Taylor moved from +700 to +750 entering Week 16.

Only three other players — Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey and Puka Nacua — are priced inside of +2000 to win the award.
