Odds as of November 18, 2025
Current Favorites
Emeka Egbuka (TB Buccaneers): Egbuka is the latest of a long line of Ohio State wideouts to join the NFL, and he looks ready to continue the legacy of success from that unit. Through ten games, Egbuka has become quite familiar with the endzone, as he's scored six touchdowns off 45 receptions and 717 yards, which is the 12th most in the league.
Jaxson Dart (NY Giants): The Russell Wilson experiment in New York did not last long, as the Giants turned to Jaxson Dart by Week Four. In his third career start and first primetime game, Dart led the Giants to a win over the Eagles, as he threw for 195 yards and one touchdown. Despite his team losing four straight since then, Dart has now thrown for 1,417 yards and ten touchdowns, while adding 317 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Dart's chances for this award have taken a slight hit due to a concussion, but he is expected back sooner than later.
Tyler Warren (IND Colts): In his final season at Penn State, Tyler Warren was a jack of all trades for the Nittany Lions, and early on in his rookie year, that has been the case with the Colts as well. The 14th overall pick has hauled in 50 receptions for 617 yards and three touchdowns. Warren not only leads all rookie tight ends in yards, but he is third among all tight ends across the league as well.

Carson Schwesinger (CLE Browns): The Browns nailed a few picks in the most recent draft, and Schwesinger is undoubtedly one of them. The former UCLA linebacker was selected in the second round by Cleveland and was quickly thrust into a starting role. In ten games played, Schwesinger has recorded 85 tackles to go along with 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, and 9.5 run stuffs.
Nick Emmanwori (SEA Seahawks): Drafting defensive backs is a specialty of the Seahawks organization, and Nick Emmanwori is the latest example of that. The second-round pick out of South Carolina has 35 tackles and seven pass defenses this season. Emmanwori has also recorded a .5 sack and two run stuffs, helping the Seahawks defense rank 6th in success rate this season.
Jalon Walker (ATL Falcons): While the Falcons' season has slowly fallen apart, one of the lone bright spots for them as of late has been the play of Jalon Walker. Through eight games, Walker has picked up four sacks and forced two fumbles to go along with his 29 tackles.
