NFL Offensive Player of the Year Odds 2025-26: Saquon Barkley Back in Driver's Seat
When it comes to the latest NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds, Saquon Barkley has jumped into the driver's seat after Week 2.
The latest NFL odds list him at +700 after putting the Eagles on his back to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, and he's one of two players (Bijan Robinson) trading at under 10-1 right now. It also helps Barkley that the Philadelphia Eagles remain among the top Super Bowl odds contenders.
Elsewhere, Ja'Marr Chase slid to +1600 after quarterback Joe Burrow's toe injury, and Derrick Henry dropped to +1000 after a dismal performance against the Cleveland Browns. Let's dive into my best bet for the year.

π¦ Saquon Barkley (+700)
Saquon took over for King Henry as favorite for Offensive Player of the Year after he led the Eagles to a 20-17 victory over the Chiefs in what was a rematch of last year's Super Bowl.
In Year 8, he's still carrying a heavy workload, with Philly calling on him 22 times to ice the game against Kansas City. Averaging four yards per carry, Barkley went for 88 yards and a score, including the opening touchdown.
These +700 betting odds may shorten in a hurry, too, with Barkley facing the Rams in Week 3. Just how did he perform against Sean McVay's team last year? Well, in two games against Los Angeles in 2024, Barkley registered 52 carries for 460 yards, four touchdowns, and averaged over 8 yards per tote. Yeah, those are mind-boggling, video-game numbers.
If you like Barkley, you might want to lock in this bet now. A successful $10 wager at DraftKings would net a profit of $70. His +700 odds imply an 12.50% probability, and I'd probably price him closer to +550 after Week 2.

πͺΆ Bijan Robinson (+800)
Bijan Robinsonβs Week 1 performance showed exactly why he belongs in the Offensive Player of the Year conversation. He was electric as a receiver, and continues to be the focal point of the Atlanta Falcons' offense. While he ran for just 24 yards, he caught six balls for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Bijan stayed hot in Week 2, as well, carrying the ball 22 times for 143 yards, shortening his Offensive Player of the Year odds from +1300 to +800. He's one of the main reasons the Falcons were one drive away from going 2-0 this season.
His versatility makes him nearly impossible to defend, as he seems to snatch ankles on a weekly basis. Robinson can grind out tough yards (see below), break explosive runs, and create mismatches in the passing game, giving him the volume and highlight moments voters love.
He'll be up to much of the same in Week 3 in his cupcake matchup against the Carolina Panthers, which give up 141 rushing yards per game - good for 26th in all of football. Dive into this bet before these odds shorten even further.
His +800 odds carry an implied probability of just 11.1%, but could help bettors reach a nice payday, as a $10 wager would net $80 in profits.
