Kenny Pickett headlines the offensive rookie of the year bets

Kenny Pickett +900

I don’t like picking the favorite in the futures markets, but I think Pickett’s +900 price justifies a most likely winner bet here. The local Pittsburgh product has reportedly outperformed Trubisky in training camp, and he could steal the starting job sooner than later. If and when that happens, Pickett could be the only rookie QB starting most of the season.

Tyrion Davis Prize +6000

Elijah Mitchell is the clear No. 1 running back on the San Francisco 49ers depth chart, but Tyrion Davis-Price is one injury away from the starting job. The LSU product has impressed in training camp, and if he steals the seed at any point this season, he’ll head one of the league’s best rushing offenses.

At 60/1, Davis-Price is worth a try with this massive upside potential.

Tyler Allgeier +7500

Like Davis-Price, Tyler Allgeier could be just one injury away from winning a starting running back job. Even if Cordarrelle Patterson stays healthy all season, he’s a more efficient weapon in the passing game. Allgeier may already be a better real runner than Patterson, and the BYU rookie could face a huge workload this season with the Atlanta Falcons looking to develop their young talent.
