Given our table above, there are several NFL Offensive Player of the Year candidates that could win this award at the conclusion of the season. Below we will provide further details for the NFL Offensive Player of the Year favorites and give you a reason why they might win this award. 

Ja’Marr Chase NFL Offensive Player of the Year Odds (+1100)

First on the list of the NFL Offensive Player of the Year favorites is Ja’Marr Chase, who has odds of +1100 at DraftKings Sportsbook. He is the top wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Chase recorded 1,046 receiving yards and 9 receiving touchdowns during the 2022-2023. Note that he only played 12 games, so if he can stay healthy and play a full season, he should be able to have a career season, making him a solid choice for NFL Offensive Player of the Year.  

Justin Jefferson NFL Offensive Player of the Year Odds (+1300)

Another one of the NFL Offensive Player of the Year favorites is Justin Jefferson, who has odds of +1300 at DraftKings Sportsbook. He won this award in the 2022-2023 season by posting a career high 1,809 receiving yards on a career high 128 receptions. He averaged 14.1 yards per reception and had 8 receiving touchdowns. In order to win this award in back-to-back seasons, Jefferson may need to surpass these numbers as there are plenty of other NFL Offensive Player of the Year candidates who are poised to have a big year.

Christian McCaffrey NFL Offensive Player of the Year Odds (+1500)

Third on our list of the NFL Offensive Player of the Year favorites is Christian McCaffrey at odds of +1500 at DraftKings Sportsbook. During the 2022-2023 season, McCaffrey played 6 games for the Carolina Panthers before being traded to the San Francisco 49ers. He is one of the most versatile players in the entire NFL and is elite at running and catching the ball. In total, he recorded 1,139 rushing yards and had 8 touchdowns. On top of that, he had 741 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.   

NFL Offensive Player of the Year 2023-2024: Longshot candidates to watch

Aside from the NFL Offensive Player of the Year favorites, there are longshots that should also be considered. One in particular is Derrick Henry from the Tennessee Titans. His current NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds are +3000 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Henry is consistently near the top of the list when it comes to running back production. During the 2022-2023 season, Henry had 1,538 rushing yards on 349 carries and 13 rushing touchdowns. He averaged 4.4 rushing yards per carry, so if can keep up this production, he will certainly have a chance to win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award this upcoming season.

How the NFL Offensive Player of the Year is decided

The NFL Offensive Player of the Year award is decided and voted on by a panel of 50 sports writers across the country. All of these sports writers are with the Associated Press (AP). The vote is based on regular season performance and the playoffs are not considered.

Each member of the panel now has three votes, one each for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place. The player who receives the most votes will be named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. This is a newer voting system, as before each voter had just one vote and the NFL Offensive Player of the Year was decided by who got the most first-place votes.
