2019 NFL Rookie of the Year
Hello Rookie NFL Insight
Our Pick
At this point, the award is Kyler Murray’s to lose. Often playing from behind in Kingsbury’s offense will allow Murray to rack up yardage. Short of Jones or Minshew leading their teams to a division championship, Murray is going to put up big enough numbers to win the Rookie of the Year award even if the Cardinals finish 4-12.
Our Favorite Rookie of the Year Bet
As much of a lock as Murray seems at this point, his +220 odds are far from attractive given how many variables surround him. He is still a 190 pound QB, playing behind a highly suspect offensive line, on a team that could lose 12 games.
If pressed to ask what I think the best investment right now would be, it would be Gardner Minshew at +410. He has looked extremely polished in his limited work and has actually been the most efficient red zone QB in the NFL since taking over in week one. Not only is he playing great, but he has the second-easiest remaining QB schedule. His QBR should climb, and the Jags certainly look like more of a playoff contender than the Cardinals or Giants.
Best ROY Longshot
As someone that has a Terry McLaurin +5000 ticket in hand from back in July, let me preface this by saying rookie of they year longshot bets rarely (if ever) work out. It is a pretty safe bet that one of the three QB favorites are taking home the award this season. At this stage in the season, they only true longshot worth anything is Miles Sanders at +3000. Currently 8th in the NFL in total yardage, it would still likely take a Jordan Howard injury to give Sanders enough usage to win the award.

2022 Fantasy QB Sleepers
The past decade has seen the QB position dramatically decrease in overall value. Drew Brees and Tom Brady were once first-round picks, now there is real viability to the zero-QB draft strategy. Owners have leveraged this strategy by prioritizing the more unpredictable, but higher value positions and then finding week-to-week supplements for their roster. We believe there is viability to this strategy – with the caveat that QBs should be picked up for three or four weeks at a time to save waiver priority. Here is a look at three…
2022 Fantasy RB Sleepers
The only guarantee at running back is that there are no guarantees at running back. Year in and year out there are a handful of new stars, while the previous year’s stars fall short. Receiving is valued at an all-time high. PPR leagues will especially prioritize those who can make an impact out of the backfield. Here’s a look at three backs in different situations currently drafted outside of the top 60 at the position. Dameon Pierce (63) Pierce is one of the most exciting rookie prospects in the league…
2022 Fantasy WR Sleepers
The value of wide receivers is at an all-time high. Depth at the position has made it difficult to stand out with a couple of big names, but failure to meet the standard will handicap any team. Here’s a look at players currently drafted outside the top 75 at the position who may help secure points week in and week out. Curtis Samuel (77) Samuel never had a chance to get things moving in 2021. He signed with Washington and was meant to appear opposite fellow Buckeye Terry McLaurin, but…
2022 Fantasy TE Sleepers
Tight end has become the great equalizer. Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews can elevate an otherwise average roster to competing week-in and week-out. A committee approach resulting in Mo Alie-Cox or David Njoku, though, can undercut a strong week from the rest of the team. The position has become all about value and target share. Tight ends can make an impact as regular contributors, but the gross imbalance in scoring means high draft picks or getting lucky. Here’s a look at three players currently outside the top 20 of the…
