Patrick Mahomes, who led the league in this category in 2018 and 2022,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>finished well back but is the favorite in 2024. But is there value outside Mahomes? We\u2019ll break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>down who has a shot, and who has an outside shot of taking this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs +550<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big story in 2023 for the Chiefs, other than winning the Super Bowl was dropped passes by<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>receivers. Kansas City led the NFL in drop passes with 44 but Patrick Mahomes still finished<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eighth with 27 touchdowns and third in completed passes. This season, Mahomes has some<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>new weapons in speedy rookie Xavier Worthy and veteran Marquise &#8216;Hollywood&#8217; Brown who join<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the receiving core. If Mahomes&#8217; other receivers can cut down on their drops, he should make a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>serious run at leading the league in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dak Prescott DAL +700<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dak Prescott led last season with 36 touchdowns and is poised to better that mark in 2024,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>considering his contract expires after the season. He has one of the best deep threats in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>league in CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys led the league in scoring averaging almost 30 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>per game. Prescott also finished first in completed passes and Dallas didn\u2019t make any big<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>changes to his receivers so expect another big season from Dak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C.J. Stroud, Texans +1000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After making a big splash in his rookie season, Texans quarterback CJ Stroud is looking for an<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>even better sophomore season. Stroud found chemistry with the likes of Tank Dell and Nico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collins throwing for 23 touchdowns and just five interceptions. But Stroud will now have an<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>even bigger target as Houston acquired proven No. 1, Stefon Diggs. Look for the Texans to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>allow Stroud air it out, which could give him a great shot at this title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Longshot With A Shot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars +2500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jaguars paid Trevor Lawrence big money (5-year, $275 Million) in the offseason and maybe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>that will inspire him to throw more touchdowns. Jacksonville has been throwing the ball more in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>each of Lawrence\u2019s three seasons and he should get some help at receiver with rookie Brian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas and veteran Gabe Davis. Lawrence has the skill set to lead the NFL in touchdowns,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and maybe 2024 is the year it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds Most Regular Season Passing Touchdowns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Mahomes KC +550<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dak Prescott DAL +700<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brock Purdy SF +850<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Burrows CIN +950<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh Allen BUF +1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C.J.
