Odds as of October 28, 2025
Current Favorites
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. Dart was impressive throughout the preseason, and in his first starts, he has shown flashes of a bright future. 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 being unable to lead his team to another win over Philadelphia, Dart has now thrown for 984 yards and eight touchdowns, while adding 195 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
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 eight games, Egbuka has become quite familiar with the endzone, as he's scored five touchdowns off 34 receptions and 562 yards, which is the 7th most in the league.
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 37 receptions for 492 yards and three touchdowns. Warren not only leads all rookie tight ends in yards, but he leads all tight ends across the league as well.

Abdul Carter (NY Giants): The Giants may have made noise late in the first round by trading their way back in to select a quarterback, but before all of that happened, they solidified their defensive front by selecting Carter third overall. In his third season at Penn State, Carter led the country with 24 tackles for loss, while also recording 12 sacks. To start his NFL career, Carter made his impact felt both on defense and special teams, as he's finished the first eight weeks with 21 tackles, .5 sacks, four run stuffs, and a partial block on a punt.
Jihaad Campbell (PHI Eagles): Football fans everywhere spent another draft cycle frustrated that the Eagles somehow got a high-end talent to fall to them late in the first round. Campbell finished his last year at Alabama with 119 tackles and five sacks, and his nose for the football has remained at an elite level early in his NFL career. Through eight games, Campbell has 45 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble.
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 is up to 17 tackles and two pass defenses this season. When targeted, he is holding opponents to just 5.2 yards per completion after recording a 42.9% completion percentage when targeted in Week Seven.
