NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year best bet: Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders (+700)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

It is true that Williams finds himself in a pretty good situation as the undisputed starting quarterback for the Bears, but there isn’t any value on him as a short +140 favorite. Instead, Daniels at +700 is a much better play. The former LSU standout was incredible last year on the college gridiron and won the Heisman Trophy for his efforts. He will no doubt be starting from Day 1 in Washington, where Marcus Mariota is second on the depth chart. Terry McLaurin as WR1 and Zach Ertz at tight end will help the rookie’s efforts. Fellow rookie Luke McCaffrey is also looking good at receiver so far during the preseason. Expect a big first year for Daniels – maybe really big.

NFL MVP longshot: Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (+2500)

Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.

The Buffalo Bills better hope for their sake that this longshot bet doesn’t cash. If it does, they will know they made a costly draft-day trade with the Chiefs. Buffalo traded out of the first round and selected WR Keon Coleman. They swapped with Kansas City, which moved into the first round and snagged Worthy. Needless to say, this is a dream situation for the speedster out of Texas. He gets to play with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Super Bowl champions. Worthy could go crazy in this offense.
