NFL Offensive Player of the Year Odds 2026 | OPOY Futures

The NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award is typically given to the player who produces the best statistical season on the offensive side of the football. Since the MVP Award has become a quarterback’s award to lose, the OPOY award is usually given to the best offensive player that is not a quarterback.

Below is a list of the latest betting odds for the 2026-27 NFL Offensive Player of the Year winner.

2026-27 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Contenders

Current Best Bet: Jahmyr Gibbs (RB, Lions)

Jahmyr Gibbs remains the best bet for Offensive Player of the Year, and the workload has backed up the hype: through five games he’s piling up 100.8 rushing yards and 48.6 receiving yards per game, good for 504 rushing yards, 243 receiving yards, and 9 total touchdowns (7 rushing, 2 receiving) on 105 carries and 27 catches. With David Montgomery’s departure opening up the backfield, Gibbs has turned into a true every-down weapon for a 3-2 Lions team, and that expanded role is exactly why oddsmakers have had him as the favorite (+400) since before the season even started.

Bijan Robinson (RB, Falcons)

• Season Stats: 102 carries, 580 yards, 4 TD; 18 catches, 152 yards, TD

Jahmyr Gibbs (RB, Lions)

• Season Stats: 105 carries, 504 yards, 7 TD; 27 catches, 243 yards, 2 TD

Kenneth Walker (RB, Chiefs)

• Season Stats: 87 carries, 537 yards, 4 TD; 12 catches, 84 yards, 2 TD

2026-27 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Sleepers

Derrick Henry and Jaxon Smith-Njigba remain the OPOY sleepers to watch entering Week 6. Henry is averaging 95.2 yards per game on the ground with 7 rushing touchdowns and a receiving score through five weeks, and his workload actually grew last week when the Ravens (4-1) beat the Falcons with Tyler Huntley under center after Lamar Jackson was ruled out with an ankle injury — if Jackson’s absence lingers, Baltimore leans even harder on Henry, and at +1700 he’s a buy-low play on a hot offense.

Smith-Njigba, meanwhile, has been one of the most consistent weapons in football regardless of who’s throwing him the ball: 37 catches, 583 yards and 7 touchdowns through five games, with four 100-yard outings in five tries, and he’s already priced as the second choice behind Jahmyr Gibbs at +550 — the volume is elite even in a 3-2 Seahawks season, and a signature performance against a leaky secondary could vault him into the thick of the race.

Derrick Henry (RB, Ravens)

• Season Stats: 113 catches, 476 yards, 7 TD

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, Seahawks)

• Season Stats: 37 catches, 583 yards, 7 TD
