2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds: Henry remains favorite after Week 8
For the second year in a row, all signs point to a running back winning the NFL’s Offensive Player of the year award, at least through eight weeks.
The Niners’Christian McCaffrey won the award last year, after racking up 1,459 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, along with 564 receiving yards and seven receiving scores.
However, he is not in the running for OPOY, after San Francisco placed its star running back on IR.
So if not McCaffrey, who will be named the league’s top offensive star this season?
Here’s a look at the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook as of Oct. 29.
NFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR ODDS:
Derrick Henry, Ravens RB: +120 (bet $10 to win $22 total)
Saquon Barkley, Eagles RB: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)
Justin Jefferson, Vikings WR: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals WR: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys WR: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Lamar Jackson, Ravens QB: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
After the Eagles’ new running back Saquon Barkley remained atop the oddsboard for a majority of the first part of the season, Baltimore’s Derrick Henry supplanted him after Week 5 and hasn’t looked back.
The Ravens have won five of six, mainly behind Jackson and Henry.
In a 28-25 win over Dallas in Week 3, Henry rushed for 151 yards and two TDs on 25 carries. In Week 4, Henry was even more impressive, tallying 199 rushing yards and a score in the Ravens’ 35-10 win over Buffalo. He also had a receiving TD.
In Week 5, at Cincinnati, Henry put up 92 yards and a score on 15 carries in Baltimore’s 41-38 overtime win, and then, in Week 6, Henry rushed for 132 yards on 24 carries, and added two more TDs.
In Week 7, Henry had 169 rushing yards on 15 carries.
Henry leads the league in rushing yards (946) and rushing scores (9).
Henry was named Offensive Player of the Year back in 2020.
