2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year Predictions & Odds
Transcript
00:00Who is gonna be that offensive rookie of the year? Typically, it's a quarterback award and no stranger here on the FanBlue Sportsbook to take a look at that awards market. Caleb Williams at a plus 135 price. Jaden Daniels at a plus 550 price. We're expecting big things out of those quarterbacks this year. Rookies coming in, a lot of good offensive weapons that they can deal with. Good seasons should be on the horizon. Then we get to the wide receivers. Harrison out there, plus 750 price, following in his father's footsteps. He's going to be a quarterback of the year.
00:28Being one of those more dominant wide receivers. You take a look at neighbors for the New York Giants at a 10 to 1 price. Worthy at a 14 to 1 price. Let me ask you this. Is it possible that a non-quarterback is going to be able to win this award in 2024, Dubs?
00:44I think it's tough, Donnie. And we got so much recency bias. We saw CJ Stroud as an absolute standout last year. If you look at this odds board, it tells us the awards already been handed to Caleb Williams at a plus 135. So no one's surprised. He was the first pick off the board for Chicago in that offense. They look strong through week one of the preseason. He's got all the tools in place.
01:08The only question marks I had, Donnie, were coming in to the pro scheme. You know, how would he really adapt at that level? Wasn't fantastic last year there for USC. I know we turn it back to the Heisman there in 2022. What a record he put together there for the Trojans. But I mean, this is, I guess, the buy low spot. I can absolutely not jump in to play a futures market for Caleb Williams at plus 135.
01:32You've always got to ask the question about injury. What if the bears don't figure it out? What if there are a couple of issues in that locker room? By all reports, Caleb is the guy. He's telling them to pick up the towels, put them in the washing machine. I don't know. Maybe some of the older guys don't get on the same page there. Big expectations for Jaden Daniels at plus 550. If there were a player in going against the quarterbacks, I think it is Marvin Harrison Jr.
01:55We highlighted going towards the Cardinals there. He's got Kyler Murray. I'm very big on Kyler Murray there for Arizona. And you take a look, he's got that pass catching. He's got the route running abilities. He's built at six foot four. So this is a kid that can absolutely have an impact day one. He's going to have to put up some monster numbers. Likely going to have to be top 10 in the league there in receiving yards, but you're still getting a fantastic price. So I think that would be the play against for me. If you weren't buying in at plus 135 on Caleb.
02:25Yeah.
