After a slow start to the season, Ashton Jeanty got hot in Week 4.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie running back had a career-high 138 yards rushing yards and he scored three touchdowns in Week 4.
As a result,
he has become a favorite again to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. The Boise State product, who was the No. 6 overall draft pick, had been a preseason favlrite to win the award.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, Jeanty is priced at 4-1 to win the award. It’s the second lowest (best) odds in the league. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is the favorite at +250.
It will be a fun race to watch develop as the season progresses.
