See current odds for who will win the 2020 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Loading 2020 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Futures. Last season Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott opened as a 500/1 longshot to be named Offensive Rookie of the Year at 5Dimes. When Tony Romo suffered a serious back injury in the team’s third preseason game, Prescott’s odds soared from 500/1 to 11/1.

With J.K. Dobbins still on the board, the Los Angeles Rams opted to select Cam Akers out of Florida State with the 52nd overall pick in the draft. Fans were stunned, not only because of the team’s decision to draft a running back with its first pick, but also because Dobbins wasn’t the name called by Roger Goodell.

Akers is undoubtedly a talented player and despite being thrown into a committee backfield, the oddsmakers give him a decent chance to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. According to BetMGM, Akers has the 14th-best odds to win the award at +2500.

That line means if you bet $100 on Akers, you stand to win $2,500 if he’s named Rookie of the Year. The favorite to win the award is unsurprisingly Joe Burrow at +200, followed by D’Andre Swift (+850) and Tua Tagovailoa (+900).

Dobbins, who was taken three picks after Akers by the Baltimore Ravens, has the 10th-best odds to win Rookie of the Year (+2000).

Akers has all the makings of a three-down back who can contribute right away. He has the size and strength to be a workhorse, but also the speed and receiving ability to create big plays. Pro Football Focus expects him to be productive as a rookie, projecting him to rush for 895 yards and six touchdowns in 2020.

If those numbers were to hold true, it’d likely mean Darrell Henderson’s season didn’t go so well. The two will share duties in the backfield, along with Malcolm Brown, but it’s possible Akers handles first and second down, with Henderson playing a change-of-pace role on third down.

Sean McVay wouldn’t say how the split will play out, but it will certainly be an interesting situation to watch next season.

Halfway through the NFL season, plenty of rookies have received opportunities to play and several have stood out from the pack.

As the popularity of the NFL continues to rise, so do the betting markets.

The “Award Props” have been known to return great investments for bettors and with all the talent expected to take the field in 2020, we could see that trend continue with first-year players in the NFL.

NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

Bettors can begin to wager on both the top offensive and defensive rookies for the upcoming 2020 NFL season.

To no one's surprise, the top options on the board is a quarterback. Former Oregon standout Justin Herbert has been starting for the Chargers since Week 2 and although Los Angeles has struggled to win games, the quarterback has already thrown 23 touchdowns and amassed six 300-yard passing games.

Herbert is currently the odds-on favorite at -450 odds (Bet $100 to win $22.22). Bengals' quarterback and top pick Joe Burrow was hanging around for the award, but those hopes were dashed when he sustained a season-ending knee injury in a Week 11 loss at Washington.

The most recent quarterback to shine is Miami's Tua Tagovailoa, who is now in the discussion at +1500 odds. Tagovailoa has made five starts and won four of them for the Dolphins, as he is coming off a victory over the Bengals in Week 13.

The only non-quarterback in the discussion is Vikings' wide receiver and Burrow's former college teammate at LSU Justin Jefferson. The wideout leads Minnesota in receiving yards with 1,039 yards as Jefferson has vaulted to 9/2 odds to capture Rookie of the Year honors.

Listed below are the odds for all available players to win the NFL 2020 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
