I don’t know who is going to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. You can make a case for every contender, but you can make just as good an argument against each one as well. Whoever does win is likely to have a big Week 18, and awards voters, like everyone, are susceptible to recency bias. This week, for each Offensive Rookie of the Year contender, I am looking for player props as a better way to bet this market.
DraftKings Odds
Kenneth Walker -140
Garrett Wilson +210 Brock Purdy +450 Kenny Pickett 18/1 Christian Watson 25/1 Chris Olave 25/1 Isiah Pacheco 80/1 George Pickens 100/1First up is Seahawks running back and current market favorite, running back Kenneth Walker. Currently at 936 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on the season, Walker’s rushing prop is listed at DraftKings at 78.5 -115. While I expect breaking the 1,000-yard barrier is on Walker’s mind this weekend, the Rams' defense isn’t going to let those yards come easy, even without Aaron Donald in the lineup. I am betting against Kenneth Walker by taking the under on his rushing yard and rushing + receiving props for this weekend.
