Let's take a look at some interesting opportunities in the NFL futures market.
Most passing yards of the regular season
CJ Stroud (+225) – 3,266 yards
Tua Tagovailoa (+350) – 3,177 yards
Patrick Mahomes (+700) – 2,917 yards
Josh Allen (+800) – 3,214 yards
Jared Goff (+800) – 3,075 yards
Washington's Sam Howell (+1000) actually leads the league with 3,339 yards, but bettors may be wary of betting on him for fear that he may not last the entire season since he has already been sacked a team-high 55 times League odds. However, he has thrown for over 300 yards in four of the last five weeks and his team will play consistently from behind down the stretch. Entering your second year at the University of North Carolina offers good value for money.

Most regular season rushing yards
Christian McCaffrey (-105) – 993 yards
Raheem Mostert (+900) – 785 yards
Josh Jacobs (+1500) – 771 yards
D'Andre Swift (+1000) – 770 yards
Travis Etienne Jr. (+1000) – 726 yards
McCaffrey leads that category with over 200 yards and has already enjoyed his bye week. It will be hard to pass him…unless the 49ers win the division early and decide to rest their workhorse, or he gets hurt and is forced to the sideline due to injury. Still, it's a great chance for McCaffrey not to win this title. However, if you insist on looking further down, perhaps give Bijan Robinson (+1600) a try. The rookie from Atlanta has just become a part of the Falcons' offense, which relies almost entirely on running the football. Having only rushed for 703 yards so far in his rookie season, Bijan would have to explode in his final six games to catch up with McCaffrey, but should McCaffrey miss time, there is a chance.
Most regular season touchdowns
Tyreek Hill (+225) – 10
Mike Evans (+400) – 9
Courtland Sutton (+700) – 8
Stefon Diggs (+800) – 8
Keenan Allen (+1000) – 7
Hill certainly has some value. He is a scoring threat every time he catches the ball. He accounts for nearly 40% of the 1st downs caused by the Miami offense. However, there's plenty to feed in South Beach, and Hill's lead in this category is minimal. Keenan Allen has the most catches (97) in the league so far this season and is healthy, but the sleeper in this category may be Courtland Sutton (+700). Denver's offense has found a rhythm after a sluggish start under new coach Sean Payton, and the Broncos will only have to deal with mediocre (at best!) pass defenses for the rest of the season.
There is still plenty of time left in the 2023 season, but the board's value is shrinking.
Enjoy the games and enjoy the sweat.
