Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is the new favorite in the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year odds after a big performance in Monday night’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Daniels is now at +160 to win the award after throwing for two TDs and 254 yards with just two incompletions on the night.
With that odds shift, Daniels slips ahead of New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (+250) and Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (+400) on the odds board. Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams (+650), meanwhile, has fallen in the odds after opening as the favorite. We’ll take a closer look at Offensive Rookie of the Year odds for all the top favorites below.
How have OROY odds shifted?
Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels opened this year at +1200 to win the OROY award. Daniels has settled into the Washington offense and now has the highest completion percentage in the league (80.3%).
He picked up the first passing TDs of his NFL career with two throws for touchdowns in Washington’s Week 3 win over Cincinnati, but he ran for two TDs in the Commanders’ Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His odds to win this award really jumped only after the win over the Bengals, in which Daniels went 21 of 23 as a passer.
Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers opened this year at +800. Since then, Nabers has been one of the top targets in the Giants’ passing game through the first three weeks, with 37 targets and 23 receptions. He’s averaging one TD and nearly eight catches per game, making him one of the league’s most productive receivers so far. Nabers was dealing with some knee soreness in Week 2 but has since been removed from the injury report and given a clean bill of health.
Marvin Harrison Jr.
Harrison had a slow start to the season, opening the year at +550, with only one catch for four yards in Week 1, which surprised many people who expected him to be a vital addition to the Arizona offense right away. He’s become much more involved in the passing game since then, with four catches for 130 yards and two TDs in a blowout win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, followed by five catches and one touchdown in last week’s loss.
Caleb Williams
Williams opened as the clear favorite. at +275, but fell in the odds after some struggles in the first couple of weeks of the season. The Bears didn’t score a single offensive touchdown in their lone win of the season so far, and Williams has thrown four interceptions in the last two games. Still, there are some signs of improvement, with Williams throwing for 363 yards and two TDs in a Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Bo Nix
Nix opened as a heavy underdog (+3500) for this award but briefly moved to +1050 just ahead of the start of the season. But with some shaky outings in the first two weeks, he dropped on the odds board again. Nix has yet to throw for a touchdown in the NFL but has thrown four interceptions in three games. He did show some signs of life in a Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, however, throwing for 216 yards and running for a TD.
