Bengals Wide Receiver Ja'Marr Chase One of the Favorites to Win Offensive Rookie of the Year

Chase is the top non-quarterback according to oddsmakers

CINCINNATI — Bengals first round pick Ja'Marr Chase is one of the favorites to be named NFL Rookie of the Year.

Cincinnati picked the 21-year-old with the fifth overall pick on Thursday night. Winning the award is one of the many goals he has for the 2021-22 season.

“I want to win rookie of the year," Chase said after being drafted. "I want to have 10 touchdowns and at least 1,500 yards for the year.”

If he somehow accomplishes his goal of 1,500 yards receiving, it would be the most by a rookie in NFL history. It would also give him a chance to leapfrog the guys ahead of him in the rookie of the year race, all of which are quarterbacks. 

Trevor Lawrence is the favorite at +350, followed by Justin Fields (+450) and Trey Lance (+550). Mac Jones (+700) and Zach Wilson (+750) are also ahead of Chase. 

The Bengals receiver is +1,000 to win the award. Only five players are ahead of him.
