Fernando Mendoza has been among the favorites to win the 2026 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award basically from the moment the Las Vegas Raiders made him the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft.
And even though he may not begin the season as the starting quarterback, oddsmakers still believe in Mendoza.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, is priced at +600 to win the award. The Heisman Trophy winner is currently tied for the second lowest (best) odds in the league. Arizona Cardinals
running back Jerimiyah Love, the No. 3 overall pick, is the betting favorite to win the award as he’s priced at +470
Still, Mendoza is a factor because he could play at any time and make enough of an impact to win the award.
