2026 NFL OPOY Odds: Jahmyr Gibbs Favored; Jaxon Smith-Njigba Closing In

Offense can also win championships.

In 2025, Jaxon Smith-Njigba took home the award for NFL Offensive Player of the Year, barely beating out Puka Nacua. JSN's Seahawks then went on to win the Super Bowl. 

Coincidence?

Moving on — since 2019, four wide receivers and three running backs have won the award. The last quarterback to win OPOY was Patrick Mahomes in 2018. 

Let’s take a look at the odds to win the 2026 NFL Offensive Player of the Year at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Nov 3.
