NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds 2025-26: McCaffrey Inches Away from Rivers as Favorite
Last Updated: December 16, 2025 1:14 PM EST • 2 minute read X Social Google News Link
The NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds have seen a sizeable shift for one individual, and that is Philip Rivers. The ageless Rivers has seen his odds shrink from +2000 going into Week 15, to +460 entering Week 16. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffery still has a comfortable lead, at -210 odds.
McCaffrey has seen his lead grow over the last few weeks, but can the newly emerged Rivers continue to close the gap as the 2025 NFL regular season is starting to wind down.
Dak Prescott is still in the picture for the coveted award, but he has lost ground as the season has progressed.
