NFL Offensive Player of the Year prediction

Jonathan Taylor looked set to run away with OPOY honors last year, as the Indianapolis Colts running back was the odds-on favorite through the first half of the year.

Then came the collapse. The Colts stumbled down the stretch, losing nine of their final 10 regular-season games, which included noticeable dips in Taylor’s production.

Despite the team’s struggles, the Colts’ running back still finished with the second-most rushing yards in the NFL, falling just 26 short of James Cook.

Backed by a stout offensive line and a run-heavy scheme, Taylor remains a solid pick heading into a fresh campaign.

OPOY Pick: Jonathan Taylor (+1800 at DraftKings)
