  • Get the latest odds to win the NFL’s 2026-27 Offensive Rookie of the Year award
  • Jeremiyah Love is the favorite to win NFL OROY
  • Track each player’s OROY odds throughout the 2026-27 NFL season

I am tracking 2026-27 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds from the time they open, through the 2026-2027 NFL season, and right up until the award is handed out. All sportsbooks make NFL OROY odds available throughout the season, with some brief downtimes expected during games. The highly-coveted RB from Notre Dame, Jeremiyah Love, who was selected third-overall by the Cardinals, opened as the favorite, with Fernando Mendoza, who was drafted first-overall by the Raiders on Thursday night, a close second. But we have already seen some significant movement after training camps and the preseason, and we will see major movement once Week 1 arrives.

The NFL OROY odds table below surfaces up the best odds for each player (that are available in your region), while also letting you compare to their opening odds. The graphs below were generated by averaging the odds from our top sportsbooks.

Current NFL OROY Odds & Favorites

Jeremiyah Love is currently the favorite to win NFL OROY for the 2026-27 NFL season. Love is given as long as +550 odds to take home the award, and his probability to win it based on those odds is 15.4%. A $20 bet on the Cardinals new running back would stand to profit $110 and return $130.

Carnell Tate is seen as a close second behind Love with +575 consensus odds.

Top OROY Odds

  1. Jeremiyah Love (+510 consensus odds)
  2. Carnell Tate (+575)
  3. Jadarian Price (+650)
  4. Fernando Mendoza (+675)
  5. De’Zhaun Stribling (+1000)

The biggest winners in the OROY odds after the offseason were:

  • De’Zhaun Stribling: while many believed the 49ers reached on Stribling in the NFL Draft, none of that matters now that Ricky Pearsall’s season is over and there doesn’t appear to be much competition for targets in San Francisco. Stribling wasn’t even given odds when this market opened ahead of the NFL Draft, but is now a top five contender.
  • Ja’Kobi Lane: the USC product has been one of the loudest talking points out of Ravens camp and preseason, as he has consistently made outstanding catches and gotten open downfield. Lane was more of an afterthought in the middle of August, but has turned into one of the top seven contenders to win OROY entering the season.

The biggest losers were as follows:

  • Jordyn Tyson: entering a pass-heavy Saints offense, Tyson was seen as one of the top contenders to win the award following the NFL Draft. But he has become a massive longshot at +7000 after being placed on the IR with designation to return in late August.

NFL OROY Odds Notable Line Movement Updates

  • [September 3] With Kirk Cousins being named the starting QB for the Raiders, Fernando Mendoza’s OROY odds worsened from +510 to +675. He remained one of the top contenders, though, as sportsbooks obviously expect him to get a shot under center this season.
  • [August 31] Ja’Kobi Lane’s odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year skyrocketed from +5750 odds to +1700 after plenty of hype following training camp and the preseason.
  • [August 30] Jordyn Tyson was placed on the IR with a designation to return, which saw his OROY odds freefall from +675, as he was one of the top contenders, to +7000 with a lot of uncertainty around when he will make his debut.
  • [August 1] After news broke that Ricky Pearsall would undergo season-ending surgery, De’Zhaun Stribling’s OROY odds improved from an average of +6000 just a couple weeks prior to as short as +2000. Stribling’s path to snaps and targets clears up a lot with Pearsall out of the way, though Deebo Samuel signed with the team just a few days prior to this news.
  • [June 1] The Eagles officially traded AJ Brown, opening up some potential targets for Makai Lemon. However, Lemon’s OROY odds were not really affected by the move. This is likely because the Brown trade was assumed to be happening for a while.
  • [April 22] Jeremiyah Love opened as the favorite to win NFL OROY for the 2026-27 season. He was followed closely by Fernando Mendoza.
