• Bengals Joe Burrow won the 2024-25 NFL CPOY award, but he was a bit of an afterthought when odds opened
• Looking for current NFL CPOY odds?

After a couple years of losing its true meaning, the 2024-25 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award went back to being about a player who overcame some major injury the previous season. Joe Burrow won the NFL CPOY award for the 2024-25 NFL season, after playing in just ten games the previous season due to a wrist injury. Burrow returned to form and led an extremely high-powered Cincinnati offense.

While some were complaining that Sam Darnold did not win the award, they obviously did not listen to the memo from the league, where they asked voters to return the award to its original intent. Sportsbooks even had Darnold listed with short odds and he was named a finalist for the award. The odds for 2024 NFL CPOY fluctuated quite a bit in the early stage of the 2024-25 NFL season. You can see the 2024 NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds below from the time they opened in mid-May right through to the NFL Honors.

Top 6 Top 10 All

After taking just three snaps in his first season as a New York Jet last year, thanks to a torn Achilles, Aaron Rodgers opened as the favorite to win the 2024-25 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. But Rodgers’ slow start to the season lingered, and he was displaced as the favorite by Kirk Cousins. The first-year Falcons quarterback threw for 509 yards in Week 5 to take over as the favorite.

However, we saw a new favorite to win NFL CPOY after Week 12, as Joe Burrow overtook Cousins while both players were on bye. Burrow remained the favorite since then.

There was stiff competition for the award, though, as there were a number of star players, especially star QBs, who saw their previous seasons cut short due to injury. Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, and Kyler Murray were among the top contenders for the award early in the season, but Burrow became a heavy favorite down the stretch.

Here are some notes on the 2024-25 NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds movement:

• [February 6] Joe Burrow was named the NFK Comeback Player of the Year for the 2024-25 NFL season at the NFL Honors.
• [January 23] Joe Burrow, Sam Darnold, JK Dobbins, Christian Gonzalez, and Damar Hamlin were named the finalists for the 2024-25 NFL CPOY award.
• [December 3] Kirk Cousins had a horrific Week 13, throwing four interceptions and costing his Falcons the game. After the bad performance, his CPOY odds faded from +230 to +800.
• [November 26] Though both players were on bye in Week 12, Joe Burrow overtook Kirk Cousins as the NFL CPOY favorite. The two entered Week 12 only separated by a handful of cents in the odds, but Burrow came out of the weekend as the odds-on favorite.
• [November 5] After Week 9, Kirk Cousins went from the favorite to win NFL CPOY to the odds-on favorite, seeing his odds improve from +185 to -105.
• [October 8] Kirk Cousins took over as the NFL CPOY favorite after throwing for 509 yards in a big Falcons win during Week 5. This marks the first time this season that Aaron Rodgers, who dropped to the second-best odds, is not the favorite.
• [September 24] Anthony Richardson, who was among the top six contenders entering Week 3, saw his odds plummet from +900 to +2400 after another horrendous performance. Richardson threw two bad interceptions and nearly cost the Colts a win.
• [September 17] After another solid performance in Week 2, JK Dobbins’ NFL CPOY odds continued to improve. The Chargers RB saw his odds go from +1150 to +450, which are the second-best odds following Week 2.
• [September 10] Daniel Jones, who was seen as a top ten contender prior to Week 1, saw his odds fade from +1900 to +3500 after a horrendous game against the Vikings. The QB on the other side of the field in that game, Sam Darnold, saw his odds improve from +1600 to +750. But beware getting behind this odds movement, as Darnold winning this award would completely go against the memo the league sent out to voters on the purpose of NFL Comeback Player of the Year. JK Dobbins saw the most drastic movement, though, as he went from +3500 to +1200 after rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders.
• [August 27] As it continues to sound like Nick Chubb’s return is getting pushed later and later in the year, his CPOY odds are fading. He was +850 in early August, but has faded to +1200 just a couple weeks before kickoff. Sam Darnold’s odds have improved a ton as he not only appeared to be winning the camp battle with JJ McCarthy, but the job will be his as the rookie QB will miss the season due to injury.
• [August 6] With it sounding like JK Dobbins will be ready to play Week 1, and potentially playing a key role in the Chargers’ backfield, his CPOY odds have improved from +6000 to +3750. Russell Wilson, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have as firm a grasp on the starting job in Pittsburgh as we believed. Wilson’s CPOY odds have faded from +1200 to +3000 as a result.
• [May 15] NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds have opened and Aaron Rodgers is the early favorite. The Jets’ QB has opened with +138 odds to win the award. Joe Burrow has the next-best odds at +225.
