He rushed for 2,005 yards last season and had 14 different games in which he hit the 100-yard rushing mark (including the postseason). And in the wake of his historic efforts, Barkley was rewarded with an extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
With all that in mind, it’s probably no surprise that he’s the early favorite at +650 to win OPOY again next season.
Let’s check out the early odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 26.
Tied for second on the board at +950 are Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase and Detroit’s Jahmry Gibbs.
Though his Bengals failed to meet expectations last season by missing the postseason, Chase individually was phenomenal.
He had 127 receptions, 1,708 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns — all good for the best in the NFL. While he was edged out by eventual winner in Barkley, the four-time Pro Bowler and 2021 Rookie of the Year was a finalist to win OPOY at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs dominated last season. His 16 touchdowns in 2024 were the best in the NFL. And on the ground, he rushed for 1,412 yards, fifth-best in the league last season.

Further down the board, at +4000, is Lamar Jackson.
The quarterback ended last year with a 27-25 playoff defeat at the hands of the Bills. However, the Ravens superstar had a dazzling season that led to him being honored as a finalist for OPOY and MVP.
Lamar’s 41 TDs were tied for fourth in the NFL and his 4,172 passing yards were sixth-best.

When Freddie Potts starts for West Ham in the Premier League, they don't lose.Yes, the sample size is small, their last three games were against Newcastle, Burnley and Bournemouth, and many factors have contributed to West Ham’s turn in form, but Potts is certainly one of them. For Potts, one of those factors is more "fight", and he’s certainly had to battle to get himself in the first team. Loans to Wycombe and Portsmouth in the previous two seasons have turned the academy product from more than just a tidy footballer, but a player ready to hack it physically at the top level. Sunday 30th November 1:00pm Kick off 2:05pm Since coming into the team against Newcastle, no player has made more tackles for West Ham than Potts (9), and only El Hadji Malick Diouf has won more duels.Potts is […]

Ben Stokes believes some of the criticism of his England team has gone overboard, but would rather be called "rubbish" than "arrogant".A two-day defeat in the first Ashes Test in Perth last week led to plenty of difficult questions for the tourists, who have come under fire for their pre-series preparations, loose shot selection and the decision not to send senior players to this weekend's pink ball warm-up match in Canberra. Former Australia pace bowler Mitchell Johnson branded them "arrogant" in a strongly-worded column for the West Australian newspaper, which had previously branded Stokes "cocky captain complainer".
