Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:

The Favorite: Carnell Tate is the new favorite on the OROY oddsboard after another strong performance in the Titans’ win over the Colts on Sunday. Tate caught six passes for 70 yards and a touchdown, accounting for more than 70% of Cam Ward’s passing yards. Tate leads all NFL rookies in receptions (29), targets (44), receiving first downs (15) and air yards on completed passes (267). He also ranks second in receiving yards (344), just one yard behind Denzel Boston (345). While Ward and the Titans’ offense continue to struggle, the future looks bright for the No. 4 overall pick out of Ohio State.
Biggest Riser: Germie Bernard has surged up the OROY oddsboard after a breakout two-game stretch. He caught just seven passes in his first four games, topping 15 receiving yards only once. Over his last two, however, he has hauled in 17 of 21 targets for 167 yards and a touchdown. Bernard’s 11 receptions against the Buccaneers on Sunday set a Steelers single-game record for a rookie wide receiver. DK Metcalf also caught 11 passes, making them the first Steelers wide receiver duo with at least 10 catches apiece in a game since JuJu Smith-Schuster (13) and Diontae Johnson (11) in the 2020 Wild Card round. As a result, Bernard’s OROY odds have shortened from +4000 to +800.
Glimpse of Nando: We got our first glimpse of Fernando Mendoza two weeks ago against the Patriots. With the Pats blowing out the Raiders in the fourth quarter, Las Vegas turned to Mendoza for its final drive. He looked sharp, completing six of eight passes for 48 yards. With the Raiders losing three straight, is it only a matter of time until Nando gets his shot?
