Best Bet #1: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - Throw For 4,000 Yards (+185)

The odds on these futures are way out of whack. Only six guys reached 4,000 last year, yet there are 12 QBs with odds under +200 to reach that plateau this season. What are ya gonna do though? Despite that, we were still able to find some value here.

Last year, Caleb Williams was seventh in the league with 3,942 passing yards. It’s about as close as a Bears QB has ever come to hitting the 4,000-yard benchmark. After coming so close, we can’t imagine anything but injury stopping Williams from breaking down that barrier and becoming the first 4,000-yard passer in Bears history.

Best Bet #2: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Throw For 4,500 Yards (+275)

When Dak Prescott is able to play a full regular season campaign, he always puts up gaudy numbers. That means this bet is basically on whether or not he gets injured. Since 2019, when he plays a full complement of games in a season, Prescott has not gone below 4,449 yards. He’s pretty consistent. And now he’s got an extra year with head coach Brian Schottenheimer, which should lead to even more fluid offensive play. Not to mention George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb on the outside making things easy.

Long Shot Dart Throw: Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins - Throw For 4,000 (+800)

The odds on this one should be infinitely longer, but we do think this has a real chance of hitting. Malik Willis to throw for 4,000 yards should certainly not be listed at +800, it should be up near +1,500 or +2,000 considering his situation. But it’s still enough value to take a shot on a guy who has shown a lot of promise and is probably going to be playing the entire season from behind. Lots and lots of opportunity for garbage time yards here.
