NFL 2022: Offensive Player of the Year Picks and Betting Odds

As always in the NFL, one of the most open futures markets available right now is for the Offensive Player of the Year, and we have three picks for the award.

After Cooper Kupp won Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, the race to be crowned the NFL's best offensive player is looking like one of the most fun football betting markets once again.

The betting favorites right now are Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers and Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts, with former winners Cooper Kupp and Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry listed next.

Let's get into our best bets for the NFL Offensive Player ⬇️

NFL Picks: 2022 Offensive Player

Top Pick - Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts

Our top pick to win this award is none other than Jonathan Taylor.

The Colts superstar running back is already our dark horse NFL MVP pick, so it makes sense for him to feature as our top pick for the Offensive Player award.

Taylor finished as the runner-up to Cooper Kupp in this very award last season, and with no one going back-to-back since Marshall Faulk won three times in a row from 1999-2001 it makes sense for Taylor to be favored over the Rams wide receiver.

With the Colts projected to get to double digit wins this season, Taylor will for sure be expected to put up big numbers in 2022.

If he can improve his stats even slightly from last season, JT will be very tough to beat in the race for the Offensive Player of the Year. 

Value Bet - Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns

If you're looking for value in the Offensive Player of the Year market this season, Nick Chubb is a guy you should certainly be looking into.

As it stands, the Browns will be without an elite QB for at least six weeks of the season, with a lot of responsibility set to fall on their star running back.

Since entering the league in 2018, Chubb has put together season averages of 1,204 rushing yards and 9.75 touchdowns.

A popular first-round pick in fantasy this season, Chubb has the potential to go for 1,500 yards and 15 TDs this season, and if he leads the Browns to double-digit wins in the process, these +2000 odds will look crazy!

Dark Horse - Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers

One of the favorites to win the Offensive Player this season is Deebo Samuel, but Steelers running back Najee Harris is one guy with longer odds who can rival Deebo's combination of rushing and receiving.

In 2021, Samuel had a total of 1770 yards and 14 touchdowns, Harris had 1667 yards and 10 touchdowns. Not too bad for a first-year dude paired with an aging Ben Roethlisberger, right?

If Harris can make the expected second-year leap this season, he will be putting up numbers not many others can. 

With odds of +6000 to win the award, there's simply too high of a ceiling to not bet this one.
