There is renewed hope for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense in 2026 after a dreadful 2025 campaign.
The unit will be led by new head coach Klint Kubiak, an offensive guru and they will are expected to be quarterbacked by a combination of veteran Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza.
That means the Raiders’ skill-position players have a have a chance to have big seasons. So, let’s think big. Could either Las Vegas running back Ashton Jeanty or tight end Brock Bowers make a push to be the 2026 NFL Offensive
Player of the year award? Remember, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba won the ward last season with Kubiak being his offensive coordinator.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, Jeanty is priced at 55-1 and and Bowers is priced at 80-1 to win the 2026 NFL Offensive of Player of the Year award.
Both are big longshots, but they could be worthwhile lottery tickets if sports betting is your thing.
