Justin Jefferson took home the Offensive Player of the Year award last season, and here we look at the contenders for the 2023 edition.

In addition to Jefferson, former Offensive Player of the Year winners currently on NFL rosters include Patrick Mahomes, Cooper Kupp, Derrick Henry, and Michael Thomas.

Christian McCaffrey +450

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has scored a touchdown in each of his team's three games. That, plus 423 total yards, has him as the early favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year.

Tyreek Hill +500

The top target in the league's most prolific offense, Tyreek Hill has four touchdowns through Week 3. He helped the Miami Dolphins by catching nine passes for 157 yards and a score in a dominant 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos.

Justin Jefferson +600

Winning this award back-to-back years is very difficult, as proven by the fact that Marshall Faulk was the last player to achieve it in 2001.

The Minnesota Vikings lost in Week 3 to fall to 0-3 on the season, but Jefferson did all he could with seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Jefferson has a league-leading 458 receiving yards through three games this season.

Tua Tagovailoa +2000

The quarterback with the shortest odds for the award, Tagovailoa would become the first quarterback since Patrick Mahomes in 2018 to win Offensive Player of the Year.

In just three games this season, he has eight touchdowns on two interceptions and has thrown for 1,024 yards with a 71.3 completion percentage while leading the Miami Dolphins to a 3-0 record.

Davante Adams +2000

As the top target on an unspectacular 1-2 Las Vegas Raiders team, Davante Adams has carried a heavy workload.

He has caught 25 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. Two of those scores came in the Raiders' Week 3 23-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Raheem Mostert +2500

The third Miami Dolphins player on this list, Mostert has been a big part of the team's success so far this season.

He has ran for 240 yards and six touchdowns while splitting time with De'Von Achane in the Miami backfield, and he has caught a pass for a score, too.

Mostert ran the ball 13 times for 82 yards and three touchdowns, and he caught seven passes for 60 yards and a score in the 70-20 demolition of the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
