2023 NFL futures, odds: Offensive Player of the Year betting strategy includes best bets, key longshot values

On Monday, we began our run through the futures betting strategy for individual players awards with the 2023 NFL MVP, giving out several best bets that included one massive longshot with value. Now we'll move on to breaking down the field for Offensive Player of the Year to find potential winners based on the historical preferences of voters and offseason adjustments that should boost player production, among other things.

The co-favorites are Christian McCaffrey and Ja'Marr Chase at +1100, with Justin Jefferson right behind them at +1200. Jefferson won running away last year by securing 35 of 50 first-place votes after he led the league with 128 receptions (seventh all-time) and 1,809 receiving yards (sixth all-time). The previous year, Cooper Kupp finished second all-time in both categories for a single season and took home the OPOY award. Will another receiver make a run at history this year and secure the award?

I'll break down the fields for Offensive Player of the Year below and identify who I think makes the most sense to back, including some longshots I think could be worth small-sized plays. But first, let's look at the full list of odds for the award.
