There are plenty of NFL futures bets to make on DraftKings Sportsbook as training camps and the start of the 2025-26 season rapidly approach.
This is a look at the best bets to win the 2025-26 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
Odds to win NFL Offensive Player of the Year
The NFL Offensive Player of the Year award has shifted over the past few years. The award was designed to go to the league’s best offensive player, quarterbacks included, regardless of the MVP race. For years, players like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan won both the MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.
After Patrick Mahomes won both awards in 2018, voters decided it was time for a change. While quarterbacks are technically still eligible for the award, it has really become an honor for other stars on offense. The MVP has become a de facto “best quarterback” award, so the Offensive Player of the Year has become a “best skill position player” award. The past six winners have been three running backs and three wide receivers, with Saquon Barkley winning last year.
Saquon Barkley and Ja’Marr Chase both had historic seasons in 2024-25 and are deservedly the two favorites to win this award next year. However, I am looking for more value further down the board with my picks.
Puka Nacua (+2000)
Puka Nacua has emerged as one of the best receivers in the NFL. In his rookie season, Cooper Kupp was the star of the Rams’ offense and considered one of the league’s best players. Nacua was not a high draft pick, but after Kupp got injured, Nacua stepped up. He racked up nearly 1,500 receiving yards, finishing fourth in the NFL in the stat as a rookie. He followed that up last season with a stellar sophomore campaign, and while Nacua suffered an injury that saw him miss a few weeks in the middle of the season, he was fantastic when on the field. He finished third in the NFL in receiving yards per game, just 0.2 yards per game behind Justin Jefferson, who ranked second.
Matthew Stafford re-signed for another ride with the Rams and they are hoping to win right away. They should have a great offense, and with Cooper Kupp departing this offseason, Nacua is the unquestionable star of this attack. If he can stay healthy for the full season, he should be among the league leaders in receiving yards again and have a shot at this award.
Drake London (+5000)
Drake London is one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL. Despite catching passes from Kirk Cousins for most of the season — before he was ultimately benched — then a rookie making his first NFL starts over the rest of the campaign, Drake London still finished fourth in the NFL in receiving yards. London was one of only nine receivers in the NFL to catch 100 balls last year and should be even better this year.
Michael Penix Jr. is established as the Falcons’ starting quarterback and has a full offseason to work with London and develop that connection. Bijan Robinson is a great running back, which only helps the passing offense due to defenses needing to worry about him. Plus, Penix is not afraid to rip the deep ball and air it out. In 2023, he led all of college football in passing yards with nearly 400 more yards than the player in second place. In London’s final two games with Penix at the helm, he combined for 17 catches, 293 receiving yards and two touchdowns. With those numbers over the course of a season, London could end up with the best numbers of any receiver in the league.
