Betting favorites in odds to win OROY 

Love was the third pick of the 2026 NFL draft, and many had him as the best overall player on the board. He's followed closely by the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

Jeremiyah Love (+350) 

The Cards' rookie is already No. 1 on the running back depth chart and will see a lot of action. Arizona will rely heavily on the run this season, with a less-than-stellar quarterback room featuring a couple of journeymen and a rookie: Jacoby Brissett — currently holding out for a new contract — Gardner Minshew II, and Carson Beck. 

On a better offense, Love would be listed higher on the NFL MVP odds and Offensive Player of the Year odds already in his first season.

Fernando Mendoza (+400)

The top pick in the draft after a stellar season leading Indiana to the National Championship, Mendoza comes to the Raiders with high expectations. However, he has to win the starting job in the offseason, as many expect veteran Kirk Cousins to start the season under center. 

Carnell Tate (+550)

Tate was the first wideout taken in the draft, fourth overall, and is already at the top of the depth chart for the Titans. While he may be No. 1, Tennessee has a second-year quarterback in Cam Ward. The team ranked near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game last season, and running back Tony Pollard rushed for 1,082 yards in a run-heavy offense.

Jordyn Tyson (+600) 

Tyson was the eighth pick in the draft and will be paired with a promising young Saints quarterback in Tyler Shough. However, he will likely not be the top target right away, as receiver Chris Olave had 1,163 receiving yards last season and tight end Juwan Johnson had 889. 

Jadarian Price (+750) 

Price was the last pick of the first round and shared the backfield with Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. He comes into a great situation with the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III is now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the second-leading rusher from last season, Zach Charbonnet, is out until midseason recovering from a knee injury. 

Makai Lemon (+950) 

Lemon was the 20th pick of the draft and heads to an Eagles’ team that traded disgruntled star A.J. Brown to New England. Philly only ranked 23rd in passing offense last season, and for Lemon to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year, quarterback Jalen Hurts needs to rebound from a less-than-stellar 2025 campaign. 

Sleeper picks to win Offensive Rookie of the Year 

  • Carson Beck (+2500) – Taken with the first pick of the third round, Beck has the seventh-shortest odds to win the award. He's competing with two journeyman quarterbacks in Arizona, but may take the starting job sooner rather than later.
  • KC Concepcion (+3000) – The Browns receiver is a quick and solid route runner who should start right away, being a perfect fit for new coach Todd Monken's offense.
  • Ty Simpson (+4500) – The Rams are stacked, and what if Matthew Stafford gets injured?

PlayersBest prediction: Jeremiyah Love (+350) 

Love is a stud and landed in a good spot, even though the Cardinals are rebuilding — with long Super Bowl odds. Because of the rebuild and the lack of star talent at the QB position, he will get a lot of touches and turn them into a lot of yards, as he did at Notre Dame. 

Love will have a big season as the main running back in Arizona, so we're picking him to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
