Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is now the clear favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, according to the sportsbooks.
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was the favorite before the season and during the first few weeks, but Stroud has emerged as the clear favorite.
Stroud set the record for most completions by a quarterback entering the NFL before throwing his first interception.
The former Ohio State quarterback has thrown for 1,660 yards this season, which ranks fourth in the NFL. Stroud is on pace for 4,703 yards, which would shatter Andrew Luck's rookie passing record of 4,374 yards.
The Texans are off to a 3-3 start and were just one game back of the AFC South lead before their bye week this past week.
Stroud opened at +650 to win the award and was +350 before Week 4. He's now -200 at BetMGM.
Puka Nacua now has the second-shortest odds at BetMGM at +325. Nacua's production has dropped since Cooper Kupp's return for the LA Rams, but he is still on pace to set some rookie records.
Action’s BetMGM bonus code unlocks up to $1,500 in bonus bets for new sign-ups.
Robinson opened the season as the favorite to win at +300. He has struggled the last few weeks and apparently dealt with an illness this past week as he did not receive any carries
Robinson is now +1400 at BetMGM.
