2025-26 Offensive Player of the Year
Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts: -135
What to know: After Week 9, Taylor’s odds moved from -225 to -135, making him the heavy favorite to win OPOY. The Colts’ workhorse running back has helped the team reach their surprising 7-2 record. His 895 yards on the ground are a league-best, as are his 12 touchdowns. On Sunday, however, he had his least-productive game of the season, rushing for 45 yards on 14 carries in Indy’s second loss of the season.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks: +350
What to know: Smith-Njigba leads the NFL in receiving yards with 948, and the 6-2 Seahawks still have nine games to go. He’s projected to record 2,015 receiving yards, which would be an NFL record. He has four straight 100-yard receiving games, including 129 yards in a Week 9 win at Washington.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers: +600
What to know: It’s business as usual for dual-threat back McCaffrey. He has 168 carries (first), 596 rushing yards (ninth) and 626 receiving yards (seventh) for the 6-3 49ers. In a Week 9 win over the Giants, he had 106 rushing yards and a score, and 67 receiving yards and a score.
Puka Nacua, WR, Rams: +850
What to know: Nacua is tied for the second-most receptions in the NFL (61) and has the fourth-most receiving yards this season (711) despite missing a game due to injury.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Bengals: +1500
What to know: Chase’s 76 receptions are best in the NFL and his 831 receiving yards are good for second. In Cincy’s Week 9 loss to the Bears, he had eight catches for 111 yards. And keep in mind — he’s doing all of this without Joe Burrow.
Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons: +2800
What to know: Robinson has 595 rushing yards and 463 receiving yards so far this season — a true dual-threat back. However, he hasn’t had a 100-yard rushing game or receiving game since Week 6.
