Out of all the statistical categories to lead the NFL, receiving yards may be the toughest. With so much depth at the position each year and teams dropping back to throw more and more, this race will not be decided after the first ten weeks or so of the season.
Since this race is likely to come down to the wire, the odds are going to be moving around a lot during the season, so down below, weโll keep NFL bettors consistently up-to-date on the odds board for the receiving yards title with prices from all the top sportsbooks in Ohio.

Ja'Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals): After not being targeted much in the first two weeks of the season, the Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase connection has come alive. With 11 targets in four straight games and a 250+ receiving yard game against Baltimore, he has now taken 73 receptions for 1,056 yards, which is the highest total in the league.
Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings): With Kirk Cousins gone, the question of who would be throwing Jefferson the ball was at the forefront of everyone's mind this offseason. Ultimately, it was decided that Sam Darnold would be under center in Minnesota, and since then, the two have developed excellent chemistry. In total, Jefferson has 912 receiving yards on the year, good for 2nd in the league.
CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys): Lamb had a slower start to the season, which was shocking considering his output last year. It, of course, doesn't help that Cooper Rush is now his quarterback, but the two were able to connect for 93 yards in Rush's second start, which has Lamb in third with 774 receiving yards on 67 receptions.

Every NFL season, it feels as if the talent at the wide receiver position only gets stronger, and this year is no different. Multiple wideouts went in the first round this year, including Malik Nabers, the current favorite to lead rookies in receiving yards.
While Nabers is expected to have a big season and has been WR1 in New York, it looks like Brock Bowers and Brian Thomas Jr. will significantly challenge him. In this article, weโll look at the odds of the 2024 NFL rookie receiving leader across all the top sportsbooks in New York.

*odds as of November 20, 2024
Mailk Nabers (New York Giants): Much like the Cardinals, the Giants needed to improve their receiving corp, so they selected the former LSU standout. In week one, Nabers would go for a modest 66 yards, but in week two, Daniel Jones and the Giants made it clear that he would be their workhorse. While Nabers missed two games with a concussion, he is still 20th in the league, with 607 yards on 61 receptions.
Brock Bowers (Las Vegas Raiders): The Raiders have been a mess this season, but the lone positive has been Bowers. Even with QB changes, Bowers is still 10th in the league with 706 yards, the most among all tight ends. To make things even better for Bowers, with Davante Adams traded, he has officially become the primary target in Las Vegas.
Brian Thomas Jr. (Jacksonville Jaguars): The Jaguars have a solid receiving corps, but Thomas Jr. is starting to separate himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. In week five, the LSU product took five catches for 122 yards, and after a solid game against the Lions, Thomas Jr. is 11th in the league with 689 yards on 42 receptions.

We have watched the NFL become a pass-heavy league over the years, and entering 2024, there is undoubtedly a wide range of gunslingers who could sit atop the leaderboard for passing yards at the end of the season. While Geno Smith sits atop the leader and odds board, several signal callers, including guys like Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy, will be nipping at his heels all season.
Throughout the season, the odds board will see a lot of movement, but NFL bettors can check back to this article for consistently updating odds for the passing yard race to find the best price across top sportsbooks like the BetMGM Sportsbook.

*odds as of November 20, 2024
Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks): Only two quarterbacks have dropped back to pass more than Geno Smith this season, resulting in the 4th most passing yards at 2,781 yards. Seattle has fully decided to be a more pass-heavy team this season, and with them consistently playing in close games, that has only increased Smith's volume of dropbacks.
Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals): The Bengals season has been highly disappointing, but the play of Joe Burrow has not. After throwing for 356 yards in a loss to the Chargers, Burrow is the league leader in passing yards 3,028 on 408 passing attempts and 274 completions.
Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers): Following a tough performance and loss to the Chiefs, Purdy had gotten back on track with solid games against the Cowboys and Buccaneers. However, after struggling again in a loss to Seattle, Purdy is 6th in the league in passing yards with 2,613.

The NFL may not value running backs as much as it used to, but a solid running game is still essential to successful teams. While leaning on running backs is just not as common, more than a handful of teams have backs who could lead the league in rushing this season.
While Christian McCaffrey started the season as the favorite, his Achilles injury forced him to miss the entire first half of the season. As a result, Saquon Barkley is the current favorite, and here weโll look at Barkley's prices across all the top sportsbooks in North Carolina, along with which players could fight the reigning Offensive Player of the Year on the leaderboard.

Saquon Barkley | -130 | -150 | -145 | -140 |
Derrick Henry | +110 | +110 | +100 | +110 |

*odds as of November 20, 2024
Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles): Following a few up-and-down seasons with the New York Giants, Saquon Barkley will stay in the NFC East but return to the state where he grew up to wear the Eagles green.
Injuries have played a significant factor in Barkleyโs career, but not only is he healthy entering this season, he will step into the best offense he has ever played with. Barkley certainly got his Eagles tenure off to a great start by scoring three touchdowns and picking up 109 yards on the ground. After a few more dominant showings, Barkley is second in the league with 1,137 rushing yards on 197 attempts.
Derrick Henry (Baltimore Ravens): For the first time since week one, Derrick Henry was held silent as he struggled to pick up yards against the Steelers' defense. Even with that effort, though, Henry is the league leader in rushing yards with 1,185 on 197 attempts. Henry will now take on a tough Chargers defense in week 12.
Josh Jacobs (Green Bay Packers): Before the Packers bye week, Jacobs took 13 carries for 95 yards, which had him in 4th on the leaderboard. By picking up 76 more yards in week 11, Jacobs is now up to third in the league in rushing yards with 838. Jacobs has undoubtedly gotten a second wind by joining the Packers' offense, and they have not been shy about leaning on him, as he's got the 5th most carries this season with 176.

2023 | Christian McCaffrey | 1,459 | San Francisco 49ers |
2022 | Josh Jacobs | 1,653 | Las Vegas Raiders |
