Minnesota Vikings

Ahead of the 2023 NFL season, let's take a look at some Vikings players and their odds on various future props.

Most of these odds are from SI Sportsbook.

Kirk Cousins

  • +5000 to win MVP
  • +900 to lead league in passing yards
  • Passing yards over/under: 4,325.5
  • +2500 to lead league in TD passes (BetOnline)

Cousins is a polarizing player who may be entering his final season as the Vikings' quarterback, but he should have an opportunity to put up big numbers this season. Entering his second season in Kevin O'Connell's offense, the veteran will be throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, K.J. Osborn, and rookie Jordan Addison.

Justin Jefferson

  • +6600 to win MVP
  • +600 (favorite) to lead league in receiving yards
  • +750 to lead league in receptions (BetOnline)

No wide receiver has ever won MVP, but if anyone was going to do it...

More realistically, Jefferson will look to defend some statistical crowns after leading the league in catches and receiving yards last season on his way to winning offensive player of the year.

Jordan Addison

  • +1400 to win offensive rookie of the year

Addison trails three quarterbacks, two running backs, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in this race, according to SI Sportsbook. He has the talent to have a huge rookie year, but he dealt with an injury this offseason and may not have an immediate every-down role due to K.J. Osborn's presence.

Danielle Hunter

This feels like decent value for Hunter, whether he remains with the Vikings or not. He's that talented when healthy. If he is in Minnesota, he should benefit from playing in Brian Flores' aggressive, attacking scheme.
