2021 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Betting Odds

 With less than a week to go before this year's college player draft in the NFL, now is a great time to find some excellent value the NFL futures bet for 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year. 

Successfully wagering on this particular futures bet involves quite a bit of speculation since we do not even know where the names on this board will be playing next season.

The top players on the board at BetOnline sportsbook for offensive ROY are:

-- Trevor Lawrence +275

-- Justin Field +300

-- Zach Wilson +550

-- Ja'Marr Chase +1200

-- Mac Jones +1200

-- Trey Lance +1200

Five of the six players listed are quarterbacks and they are all expected to be drafted in the first round next Thursday night. Chase is the highest rated wide receiver in this year's class and the former LSU standout should come off the board within the first six picks.

If you are looking to go chalk with this bet, take Fields over Lawrence at slightly higher value. Most NFL mock drafts have him going to San Francisco as the third overall pick after Lawrence comes off the board first overall to Jacksonville.

The Jaguars dropped to 1-15 last season. It is going to take more than a new franchise quarterback to turn things around next season. Fields would be taking over a 49ers' offense that is just a few seasons removed from a NFC Championship run. The former Ohio State quarterback has a chance to make a major impact on this award's voters in the starting role at San Francisco.

When it comes to betting value deeper on the futures board for offensive ROY, Najee Harris (+1400) stands out as the best running back in this year's draft class. After posting a stellar career at Alabama, he is projected to be a late first round or early second round pick. Given his speed, size and overall talent, Harris is the type of back that can make an immediate contribution to his new team.
