Arvell Reese +100

New York Giants

What To Know: Arvell Reese has jumped David Bailey on the oddsboard and sits at +100 after Week 9. The Giants rookie was drafted with the fifth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and so far, he's exceeding those expectations. Through nine weeks, Reese is second in the entire NFL in solo tackles (49) and leads the Giants' defense in total tackles as a rookie. Reese joined Nick Bosa (2019) as the only players in the last 25 seasons with at least four sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in their first eight career games. It looks like the G-Men have finally found a guy they can build their defense around for the next decade.

David Bailey +250

New York Jets

What To Know: Bailey is having an unbelievable season of his own, which makes his slide down the oddsboard a testament to just how good Reese has been. Bailey was a unanimous All-American at Texas Tech last season, recording a Division I-best 14.5 sacks and a Big 12-best 19.5 tackles for loss. Through nine weeks of his NFL career, he’s showing why he was the No. 2 overall pick. His 7.5 sacks lead the Jets and all NFL rookies and tie him for fourth league-wide. His 31 quarterback pressures also lead all rookies, and his five forced fumbles are tied for the NFL lead. Bailey is the only NFL player with at least five sacks and five forced fumbles this season. He’s also the only rookie since 2000 to reach both marks through his first eight career games. What a two-man DROY race this has turned into between a pair of rookies in the Big Apple.

Jacob Rodriguez +800

Miami Dolphins

What To Know: Rodriguez has 10-plus tackles in four of Miami's nine games this season, and his 79 total tackles rank seventh in the NFL through Week 9. One of Rodriguez's best games so far came against the Vikings in Week 4. In that game, he recorded 18 total tackles (nine solo, nine assisted). He also has a forced fumble and an interception to his name this season. 

Sonny Styles +800

Washington Commanders

What To Know: Three Ohio State Buckeyes were selected in the first seven picks, including linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 7.  Styles made his presence felt right away, recording four tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and a quarterback hit in his NFL debut against the Eagles. But the highlight came when he bulldozed Saquon Barkley on his way to his first career sack. Styles recorded 13 tackles in back-to-back games in Weeks 5 and 6 and hit that mark again in the Commanders Week 9 loss to the Rams, giving him 13 tackles in three of his last four games.
