The early part of the NFL offseason is a critical time to start building out your portfolio and grabbing futures that may not be available at the same price later on. Today, I’ll be looking at the MVP and OPOTY markets and breaking down some of my favorite candidates for both categories.
2025-2026 NFL Awards Best Bets
Most Valuable Player
Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders
(+1100, BetMGM)

Jayden Daniels is coming off one of the best rookie seasons of all time, leading the Commanders to an 12-5 record as the starter and becoming only the sixth first-year signal-caller to start in a conference championship game. He was immediately one of the best dual threats in the league, setting a new rookie record in completion rate (69%) among all players with a minimum of 250 dropbacks, throwing for 3,568 passing yards and nine touchdowns. As a rusher, Daniels finished second among all quarterbacks in rushing attempts and rushing yards, carrying the rock 148 times for 891 yards and six touchdowns. With a year under his belt, it’s safe to assume Daniels should only improve entering year two, firmly putting him in the mix of the MVP conversation.
Offensive Player of the Year
Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons
(+1600, BetRivers)
Bijan Robinson was unleashed in the post-Arthur Smith era in Atlanta, trailing only Saquon Barkley (378) in touches (365) and finishing third in the NFL in rushing yards (1,465). As great as Robinson was, his usage was significantly better down the stretch once the Falcons decided to bench Kirk Cousins and start Michael Penix Jr. the last three games. From Week 16 on, Robinson averaged 24.7 touches on 26.3 opportunities for 124.7 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, rarely ever leaving the field, playing on 82.5% of the Falcons’ offensive snaps during that span. With Penix set to open the season as the starter, Robinson is in line for a massive workload, likely becoming the centerpiece of the offense.
