San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's four-interception performance on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens likely ended his chances of being named the NFL's Most Valuable Player. However, his teammate, running back Christian McCaffrey, remains in the hunt with the second-best betting odds (+500), according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Only Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has better odds (-190).
Oddsmakers have dropped Purdy to fifth place (+1200) after the 49ers quarterback spent weeks as the favorite.
While the MVP race may have taken a turn, a 49ers player's name might still be announced at NFL Honors in February. McCaffrey is the new favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year. Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had been the frontrunner for the award.
Below are the betting favorites for Offensive Player of the Year, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
Christian McCaffrey, 49ers, -225
Tyreek Hill, Dolphins, +155
Lamar Jackson, Ravens, +4000
CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys, +4500
McCaffrey has dominated this season, accumulating a league-leading 1,932 scrimmage yards and contributing 21 total touchdowns. He leads in rushing yards with 1,395 and boasts 14 rushing touchdowns.
Hill sustained an ankle injury in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins but played against the Dallas Cowboys this past weekend, hauling in nine passes for 99 yards. Hill maintains a league-leading 1,641 receiving yards this season.
