The Favorites
Aidan Hutchinson, Edge, Detroit Lions (+200): This is an interesting choice for the favorite here. And especially considering how short the odds are this early in the race. Aidan Hutchinson has immense potential in terms of sack numbers, and he missed 12 games with a broken leg last year, so he definitely fits the criteria.
However, only one defensive player has won this award since 2008, and that was Eric Berry, who returned from a cancer diagnosis to earn First-Team All-Pro honors in 2015. A pretty obvious pick and a really feel-good story. Hutchinson doesn’t quite have that. The other defensive players to win were: Greg Ellis (torn Achilles), Tedy Bruschi (stroke), and Joe Johnson and Bryant Young, who both had knee injuries so bad that most thought they would retire.
Hutchinson is a great player, but unless these other top favorites on the offensive side of the ball fall really hard, he’s gonna be hard-pressed to win this one without recording something like 20+ sacks. There’s more value elsewhere.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers (+300): All things being equal, we would say that Christian McCaffrey is a shoo-in for this award in 2025 barring another injury. He missed all but four games last year, and with the makeup of San Fran’s new offense, he’s gonna see a lot of work. However, only one RB (Garrison Hearst, 2001) has won this award since it was reintroduced in 1998.
Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (+300): Instead, we would consider a QB for this award, and Dak Prescott has the inside track among that cohort. He missed more than half of last season, he fully recovered from his injury weeks ago, and Dallas added a big piece in WR George Pickens.
Last time he missed nearly a whole season, Prescott came back and finished second in CPOY voting. This time, we think he’s gonna run away with it. QBs have won this award in 18 of 28 years since its return. The +300 odds from betting apps aren’t offering the best value, but good enough for how good we feel about Prescott.
Long Shot Value Bets
- Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers (+2,500): He missed 10 games last year to an ACL tear, and with Deebo Samuel gone, Brandon Aiyuk should get a lot of work in 2025.
- Stefon Diggs, WR, New England Patriots (+2,500): He seems to have cooled off since his Memorial Day Weekend fiesta, and he’s catching passes from a very encouraging young QB in Drake Maye. If the Pats are half-decent, Diggs will be in the race.
- Daniel Jones, QB, Indianapolis Colts (+3,300): QBs win this award so often we had to throw the only reasonable long-shot signal caller in here. Daniel Jones will be the starter for the Colts this season as far as we’re concerned, so if they can get to nine wins, Jones will be in consideration.
