Mahomes, Stroud At Top of Odds Board for Most Passing Yards

There have been six different passing leaders in the past six seasons. And last year, the top

three passers were separated by just over 100 yards. So the passing title in 2024-25 is up for

grabs with Patrick Mahomes as the favorite. But there are decent odds with others. Let’s see

who are the favorites and where you could find some value.

The Favorites

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs (+500)

He is a three-time Super Bowl champion, and won the passing title in 2022 and now the favorite

to win this year. Mahomes finished sixth last year, despite receivers having led the NFL in

dropped passes. The Chiefs added more weapons for Mahomes in Marquise Brown and rookie

speedster, Xavier Worthy. Mahomes should be able to throw for even more yards with a better

core of receivers.

C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans (+700)

If you feel there won’t be a sophomore slump with C.J.Stroud, then he could be a good play at

these odds. His rookie campaign was impressive as the 22-year-old threw for 4,108 yards in 15

games. The Texans are a pass-first team which now features Stefon Diggs along with Nico

Collins, and Tank Dell. They also added RB Joe Mixon who can catch from the backfield. If

defenses can’t figure out Stroud, look for him to put up big passing numbers.

Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins (+800)

Tua Tagovailoa won this title last season with 4,624 passing yards last year and his receivers

seemed to only get better. The Dolphins added Odell Beckham Jr. to go with Tyreek Hill and

Jaylen Waddle. Throw in running backs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane and Miami has

arguably the most feared NFL offense.

Value Plays

Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers (+2000)

After sitting behind Aaron Rodgers for a few years Jordan Love impressed in his first season

with the Packers. He threw for 4,159 yards last year with the majority of his production coming

in the back half of the season. Green Bay has a young nucleus on offense and Love will only

get better in his second season as starter. Sprinkling a bit of cash at these odds isn’t a bad

idea.

Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers (+2800)

Despite being a run-heavy squad, Brock Purdy still threw for 4,280 yards with the 49ers and

should get more opportunities to throw in 2024. He has the targets, including CMC, who was a

beast coming out of the backfield. There’s no question Purdy will be given the green light to

throw the ball more often, and if he stays healthy, you could be rewarded at the end of the

season with these long odds.
