Updated NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Odds: Jalen Carter Extends Lead as Clear Favorite article feature image

Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter remains the clear favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Carter was the ninth overall pick in the draft and has lived up to the billing so far. Carter is -250 to win DROY at BetMGM.

The former Georgia Bulldog has racked up 23 tackles, six tackles for loss and five sacks so far this season. He has also forced two fumbles.

Carter is by far the biggest liability at BetMGM as he accounts for 20.9% of the bets and 34.1% of the handle.

The biggest riser on the Defensive Rookie of the Year odds board has been Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

The former Illinois Fighting Illini has tallied 57 tackles, four for loss, three sacks, 14 pass breakups and one interception through 10 games.

Witherspoon opened at +900 and is now +200, making him the second favorite to win DROY at BetMGM.

Houston Texans pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. opened as the favorite at +350 odds, but is now at +1600.

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was originally a big liability for BetMGM, but after season-ending shoulder surgery, he's been taken off the board.
