The 2025 NFL regular season is over, meaning the NFL awards races are in the hands of the voters.

The field of nearly 1,700 active players eligible to collect some individual hardware has effectively been narrowed down to a small handful. While the playoffs get underway, battles for MVP, Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year – to name a few – are sure to generate major storylines in the coming month.

We updated this page all season long to chart the leading contenders, as well as biggest risers and fallers for each major award, using odds and insights directly from DraftKings Sportsbook. Will the favorites hold strong? Or are there dark horses who could drum up impressive campaigns?

Here is a look at the updated futures odds for each major individual NFL award following Week 18, as well as some insight into where things have been trending in recent weeks:
