NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds
| Player | Opening Odds | Odds Before Week 18 | Closing Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian McCaffrey | +350 | -1000 | -1000 |
| Trevor Lawrence | +500 | +800 | +700 |
49ers running back Christian McCaffrey appears on his way to a Comeback Player of the Year win. Following Week 18, McCaffrey is -1000 to win Comeback Player of the Year.
That price held steady week over week despite McCaffrey delivering a weak performance against the Seahawks. With only 57 all-purpose yards against Seattle, McCaffrey recorded his lowest yardage output of the season.
Before that NFC West decider, McCaffrey posted strong performances in consecutive games.
In Week 17 against Chicago, he scored a touchdown while posting 181 all-purpose yards. Only his Week 7 game against Atlanta saw him amass more scrimmage yards (201).
That performance followed a 146-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Colts.
A McCaffrey CPOY win would end a seven-year stretch where quarterbacks won the award. Looking to extend that streak is Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (+700).
Lawrence led the Jags to an eighth straight win in Week 18. He tossed three touchdown passes against the Titans, his sixth time clearing 1.5 touchdowns over his last seven games.
The Clemson product has nine rushing touchdowns on the season, including a pair in Week 17, and guided the Jaguars to a division title.
