McCaffrey, Hill Favored to win 2024-2025 Offensive Player of the Year

August 22, 2024

After a flurry of free agency signings, you’ll need a program to check which players moved to

new teams this season. And many are high-caliber offensive players who could make a run for

the annual award. The early favorite is last year’s winner. In his first full season with the San

Francisco 49ers, running back Christian McCaffrey finally took home the honors. But he’ll be in

tough, with so many players who have changed area codes.

Christian McCaffrey (+900)

Christian McCaffrey was an absolute beast for the 49er’s averaging 5.4 yards per carry and

leading the NFL in rushing with 1,459 yards. But CMC also was a threat as a receiver with 564

yards and finished the season with a league high 21 touchdowns. As long as he can stay

healthy, McCaffrey will once again be the focal point of the offense and will look to become the

first player to go back-back-back since Marshall Faulk in 2000 and 2001 as a member of the St.

Louis Rams.

Tyreek Hill (+900)

Tyreek Hill continues to put up eye-popping numbers and he doesn’t need Patrick Mahomes to

do so. Hill led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,799) and found the end zone 13 times.

“Cheetah” is an absolute game-breaker as he was targeted 171 times last season. And with the

Dolphins offense still a juggernaut, Hill will be the team’s biggest weapon.

Justin Jefferson (+1400)

Despite missing 7 games because of injuries, Justin Jefferson still reached the 1,000+ yard

receiving plateau for the Vikings. The Offensive Player of the Year from 2022 will be looking to

rebound this coming season. While Jefferson had incredible chemistry with Kirk Cousins, the

biggest question will be how will he adjust with new quarterback Sam Darnold after Cousins

signed with Atlanta. Still, Jefferson is one of the most explosive players in the game and could

once again take home this award.

LONGSHOT WITH A SHOT

Kyren Williams (+5000)

After a breakout sophomore season with the Rams, Kyren Williams looks like he’ll become a big

part of their offense next season. The fifth round steal led the NFL in rushing yards per game

(95.3) and ranked second among all running backs in success rate (59.6%). After an injury,

Williams was incredible in the final third of the season averaging almost 115 yards on 5.3 yards

per carry in his final six starts. If his production is anywhere close to that, he could make a

serious case for the award, at long odds.
