Once left for dead, Sam Darnold has steadily moved up as he has his Vikings out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to a surprising 5-0 start. Kirk Cousins has seen a big shift after two big wins against divisional<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>foes. Is there a dark horse looming? Can Aaron Rodgers bounce back? Time to check out all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the current odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kirk Cousins, Falcons (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Preseason Odds: +200<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a couple of games to shake off the cobwebs, Kirk Cousins has really shown his class by<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>leading the Falcons to back-to-back comeback wins. Cousins is fifth in the NFL with 1,373<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>yards and has thrown 8 TDs with 5 interceptions. He\u2019s finally been able to unlock some of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>offensive weapons in Atlanta including Drake London and Darnell Mooney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sam Darnold, Vikings (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Preseason Odds: +700<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s become the talk of the NFL after leading the Vikings to a 5-0 start. Sam Darnold was<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>supposed to be the back-up and signed a one-year deal but has been thrust into the starter role<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and has turned heads around the league. He\u2019s second in the NFL with 11 passing TDs, and if he<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>can continue this run for Minnesota, these odds will continue to drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aaron Rodgers, Jets (+400)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Preseason Odds: +260<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s been the favorite since Week 1 one but after back-to-back losses to Denver and Minnesota<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>where Aaron Rodgers threw 3 interceptions and was sacked 8 times combined, his odds have<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>fallen. Rodgers still shows some issues of that injury and the offensive line has struggled to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>protect him. But with talk Davante Adams could be coming to New York, grabbing Rodgers at<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>these odds could prove to be a wise bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Damar Hamlin, Bills (+900)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damar Hamlin was the favorite to win this award last year after returning from a cardiac arrest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>suffered on the field in January of 2023. But Joe Flaccos\u2019 late season heroics changed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This season, Hamlin has taken on a bigger role with the Bills defense 22 tackles, 9 assists and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>an interception and has been a big part of the Bills secondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comeback Player of the Year Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirk Cousins +300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam Darnold +300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Rodgers +400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Burrow +600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damar Hamlin +900<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyler Murray +1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Chubb +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J.K.
