In each of the last six seasons a quarterback has won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
award. Joe Burrow (2021), Geno Smith (2022), and Joe Flacco (2023) have been the most<\/p>\n\n\n\n
recent recipients. And it\u2019s no surprise QB\u2019s are the favorite this season, including a couple who<\/p>\n\n\n\n
are coming off major injuries. So, where is the value? We\u2019ll try to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kirk Cousins, Falcons +200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a big money deal then drafted a quarterback to add to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n intrigue this season. Still, Cousins is expected to be the starter, although the leash could be<\/p>\n\n\n\n short as Michael Penix Jr. waits in the wings. Cousins blew his Achilles last year and should<\/p>\n\n\n\n bring some stability to the team who is considered the favorites in the AFC South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aaron Rodgers, Jets +260<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another player coming off an Achilles injury is Aaron Rodgers. After missing the entire season,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rodgers will try to make amends in his second season in New York. The four-time MVP is fully<\/p>\n\n\n\n healthy and the Jets made enough moves to address the offensive line to go with some<\/p>\n\n\n\n offensive weapons. If Rodgers leads the Jets to the postseason, he will likely be the favorite to<\/p>\n\n\n\n win this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe Burrow, Bengals +500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe Burrow had to call it a season after wrist surgery after Week 11. The former first overall pick<\/p>\n\n\n\n will try to lead Cincinnati back to the AFC Championship Game for the third time in four<\/p>\n\n\n\n seasons. Burrow won this award back in 2021 after an ACL injury and if he can get the<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bengals back into the playoffs in the tough AFC North, he could earn his second Comeback<\/p>\n\n\n\n Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Player to Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick Chubb, Browns +1200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick Chubb has had bad luck with knee injuries. In college he tore his MCL, PCL and LCL in<\/p>\n\n\n\n his left knee. And then last season in Week 2, another major knee injury that required two<\/p>\n\n\n\n surgeries to repair the MCL and ACL. There was talk he may never play again but he\u2019s back<\/p>\n\n\n\n and if he can put together a season like 2022 when he ran for more than 1500 yards and 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n touchdowns, he\u2019ll be in consideration. But a running back hasn\u2019t won this award since Willie<\/p>\n\n\n\n McGahee did it back in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comeback Player of the Year Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirk Cousins +200<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aaron Rodgers +260<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe Burrow +500<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam Darnold +700<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthony Richardson +1100<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick Chubb +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daniel Jones +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russell Wilson +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kyler Murray +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n J.K.
