NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds 2025-26: Dak and CMC are now co-favorites
Last Updated: November 11, 2025 4:44 PM EST • 2 minute read X Social Google News Link
In one of the tightest NFL award races, there are four main contenders leading the Comeback Player of the Year odds.
At the head of the pack stands on man, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Aidan Hutchinson and Daniel Jones follow them. The favorite is now at +120 odds.
All four contenders finished the 2024 campaign with a major injury or were on a team's practice squad. I'm backing a player who is a bit of a shocker, and somebody I didn't anticipate dropping my NFL picks on.
