Even though the NFL Draft odds suggested no quarterbacks were going to hear their names called that early on April 28, Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett still opened as the co-favorites to win the NFL OROY award.

The odds were correct, as no quarterback was taken until the 20th-overall pick when the Steelers called Pickett’s name. Pickett still remained the favorite to win NFL OROY after the first-round was complete, but Malik Willis saw his odds fade significantly.

After Week 1, we see George Pickens and Jahan Dotson listed as the co-favorites. We had a new favorite after Week 2: Drake London. Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was given the best odds to win the award after Week 4. Olave was joined by Dameon Pierce as the two were co-favored to win the award following Week 5. We had another new favorite after Week 6: Breece Hall. Unfortunately, Hall tore his ACL in Week 7, moving Kenneth Walker III atop the board.

Here are some more notes on odds movement:

• [November 21] After Christian Watson hauled in two more touchdowns in Week 11, totaling five in a two-week span, the Packers wide receiver saw his NFL OROY odds improve from +6000 to +1600, which are the fourth-best odds on the board.
• [November 15] Kenneth Walker has become the odds-on favorite to win NFL OROY, as his odds improved from +110 to -150. It is the first time this season that we have seen anyone with better than +100 odds to win the award.
• [November 8] After running for 109 yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinals in Week 9, Kenneth Walker’s NFL OROY odds are nearing even money. He has improved from +185 to +110. This award is looking to be a two-horse race halfway through the season, with Walker and Dameon Pierce both getting better than 2-1 odds.
• [October 24] Sadly, Breece Hall tore his ACL in Week 7 – his first game played after becoming the favorite to win NFL OROY. With Hall likely done for the season, fellow RB Kenneth Walker III has taken over as the new favorite. Walker’s odds improved from +750 to +200 after running for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks win over the Chargers in Week 7. Both DraftKings and FanDuel have refunded all bets on Hall to win OROY as a nice move to their customers.
• [October 18] After rushing for 116 yards in the Jets’ win over the Packers in Week 6, Breece Hall is the new favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Hall’s odds improved from +700 to +275. Kenneth Walker III also saw major odds movement, as he went from +2500 to +750 in his first game without Rashaad Penny.
• [October 10] Dameon Pierce has seen his odds improve from +650 to +500, which is tied with Chris Olave for the best odds to win NFL OROY. Pierce becomes the co-favorite after 113 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against the Jaguars in Week 5.
• [October 3] Chris Olave’s odds have shortened from +800 to +500 after catching four passes for 67 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings in London. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett made his debut in Pittsburgh and despite throwing three interceptions his odds have shortened from +1600 to +1200. The backup to the backup, Bailey Zappe was forced into action for the Patriots after Brian Hoyer went down injured, and his OROY odds are now +2200
• [September 27] After a huge game where he pulled in nine receptions for 147 yards, the Saints’ Chris Olave has seen his NFL OROY odds improve from +1200 to +700, the second-best odds to win the award. Romeo Doubs’ eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown saw his odds move from+1600 to +900.
• [September 19] Drake London recorded eight receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. London’s nice day has resulted in him becoming the new favorite to win NFL OROY. His odds improved from +1000 to +600.
• [September 12] With Mitchell Trubisky getting the Steelers a win in Week 1, Kenny Pickett’s NFL OROY odds faded from +900 to +1400, signaling the rookie’s time may not be nearing. Oddly enough, George Pickens, who only had one catch for three yards in his debut, is now the co-favorite alongside Jahan Dotson, who hauled in two touchdowns against the Jaguars, to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Dotson was +2250 entering Week 1, but is now just +900.
• [September 7] Despite seeing Mitchell Trubisky win the QB battle in Pittsburgh, Kenny Pickett remains the favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He leads the field by a very slim margin, though. Pickett’s odds are +875 while all of George Pickens, Dameon Pierce, Chris Olave, and Breece Hall are shorter than +1100. Pierce, who has received a lot of hype this offseason, has seen his odds improve from +5000 at opening to +1000 now, which are third-best on the board.
• [May 6] Steelers GM Kevin Colbert praised Kenny Pickett’s readiness today, comparing him to Joe Burrow when he came out of LSU. Colbert believes Pickett basically spent his NFL rookie season at Pitt when he decided to return for a fifth year. All this talk about Pickett being ready to play in the NFL bodes well for his chances to start Week 1, which has resulted in him becoming the favorite to win NFL OROY again. Pickett’s odds improved from +600 to +500, while Drake London, who was favored for a brief few days, has faded to +750, tying him for the second-best odds with Treylon Burks.
• [May 2] After the conclusion of the NFL Draft, Drake London has become the new favorite to win NFL OROY. London’s odds improved from +600 to +550, while the former favorite, Kenny Pickett, saw his odds fade from +450 to +600. Malik Willis, who wasn’t taken until the third-round by the Titans, saw his odds plummet from +750 to +1400 with the likelihood of him spending his rookie season on the bench behind Ryan Tannehill. James Cook saw his odds go the other way when he was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second-round. Cook went from +4600 to +1500. Skyy Moore’s NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds improved significantly as well after finding out he will be a member of the high-powered Chiefs offense. Moore’s odds went from +3000 to +1000. Fellow wide receiver Christian Watson saw the most dramatic movement, though. Watson’s OROY odds went from +5000 all the way to +950 after hearing his name called by the Green Bay Packers, where he may slot in as Aaron Rodgers’ number one option.
• [April 28] Kenny Pickett has broken away as the favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after the quarterback was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 20th-overall pick. Pickett was the first QB to come off the board and the only one taken in the first round. His odds improved from +500 to +450. Malik Willis, who is still waiting to find out which team he’ll be playing for, has seen his odds fade from +500 to +750. Drake London, who was taken by the Falcons with the eighth-overall pick, was the first wide receiver selected in the draft, and has seen his NFL OROY odds go from +1000 to +600. No wide receiver was taken by the Packers or Chiefs in the first round, which was the move that could have really blown up these OROY odds. Treylon Burks did see some improvement, though, going from +1000 to +750 odds after he was drafted by the Titans to fill the void left by AJ Browns’ departure.
• [April 12] We are still more than two weeks from the 2022 NFL Draft, but NFL OROY odds have opened. The top two quarterbacks in the draft, Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett, have opened as the co-favorites to win Offensive Rookie of the Year with +500 odds each. Running back Breece Hall is third on the board with +800 odds.
