MVP: Wan'Dale Robinson — I'm staking my claim with Wan'Dale Robinson as Tennessee's team MVP by the end of the season.
Jeremiyah Love to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
Dealing with the dreaded high ankle sprain, doesn't matter. It will be shocking if Jeremiah Love is an offensive rookie of the year.
Jeremiyah Love to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
Those are the three things that one needs to be an offensive rookie of the year... And I he's got all three of those things... I don't think this is an overreaction.

Jadarian Price to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
Seattle Seahawks' first-round pick running back Jadarian Price is a favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, but he's going to have to earn his playing time.

If he's healthy, pencil him in near the top of the MVP race.
Dak Prescott to win MVP
I also have an NFC quarterback winning the MVP, but his name is Dakota Prescott
Caleb Williams to win MVP

Caleb Williams to win MVP

Aaron Donald to win Comeback Player of the Year
I think there will be a strong push to get Donald the award, particularly if the Rams are as good as everyone expects them to be. At 9-1 at DraftKings Sportsbook , I'm willing to take that chance for .5 units.

Tank Dell to win Comeback Player of the Year
Tank Dell (+6000, FanDuel) This is more of a "traditional" CPOY wager... the price here at FanDuel Sportsbook is too good to ignore
