Lets take a look at some intriguing opportunities in the NFL Futures Market.
Most Regular Season Passing Yards
C.J. Stroud (+225) – 3,266 yards
Tua Tagovailoa (+350) – 3,177 yards
Patrick Mahomes (+700) – 2,917 yards
Josh Allen (+800) – 3,214 yards
Jared Goff (+800) – 3,075 yards
Washington’s Sam Howell (+1000) actually leads the league in yardage with 3,339 yards, but bettors may be shy to back him fearful he may not last the full season as he has already been sacked a league-high 55 times. That said, he has thrown for over 300 yards in four of the last five weeks and his team will be playing from behind consistently down the stretch. There is good value on the 2nd year starter from the University of North Carolina.

Most Regular Season Rushing Yards
Christian McCaffrey (-105) - 993 yards
Raheem Mostert (+900) - 785 yards
Josh Jacobs (+1500) - 771 yards
D’Andre Swift (+1000) - 770 yards
Travis Etienne Jr. (+1000) - 726 yards
McCaffrey leads this category by over 200 yards and has already enjoyed his bye week. He will be difficult to pass…unless the 49ers clinch the division early and decide to rest their workhorse or he gets nicked up and is forced to the sideline due to injury. Still McCaffrey is a longshot to not win that title. If, however, you are insistent on looking further down the odds board, perhaps take a taste of Bijan Robinson (+1600). The Atlanta rookie has really just become a part of the Falcons’ offense which must rely nearly exclusively on running the football. With a quiet 703 yards rushing to this point in his rookie campaign, Bijan would need to explode in his final six games to catch McCaffrey, but should McCaffrey miss time, there’s a chance.
Most Regular Season Receiving Touchdowns
Tyreek Hill (+225) - 10
Mike Evans (+400) - 9
Courtland Sutton (+700) - 8
Stefon Diggs (+800) - 8
Keenan Allen (+1000) - 7
There is certain value with Hill without question. He is a threat to score every time he catches the ball. He accounts for nearly 40% of the 1st downs generated by the Miami offense. That said, there are plenty of mouths to feed in South Beach and Hill’s lead in the category is minimal. Keenan Allen has the most catches (97) in the league to date this season and he is healthy, but maybe the sleeper in this category is Courtland Sutton (+700). The Denver offense has found a groove after a sluggish start with new coach Sean Payton and the Broncos do not face anything but mediocre (at best!) pass defenses the rest of the season.
There is plenty of time left on the 2023 season but the value ion the board is shrinking.
Enjoy the games and enjoy the sweat.
