NFL Futures Bets That Make Sense | NFL News

About this episode

NFL futures are heating up with bold bets: Trey Hendrickson, now in Baltimore, is a 25-1 DPOY favorite thanks to his new coordinator and easier early schedule. Kenneth Walker could smash 950 rushing yards as KC’s lead back, potentially ending Mahomes’ drought for a 1K-yard rusher. Dak Prescott is projected for 3,950+ passing yards—healthy and surrounded by talent, he’s primed to deliver. But not all bets shine: Carnell Tate, the rookie WR, looks unlikely to hit 775 yards, struggling to match hype against tougher competition. And the Broncos? Don’t count on them repeating last year’s win total—they’ve got a much tougher schedule this time around.

On September 7th, alright, let's talk future bets for the upcoming NFL season. We've got some experts dropping their top picks, and one that's catching my eye is Trey Hendrickson for defensive player of the year at 25-2. One, he's moved to Baltimore, and with their new defensive coordinator, he's projected to get after the quarterback way more. Plus, his early schedule looks pretty manageable compared to some of the other favorites. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker is projected to go over 950 rushing yards. He's now the main man in Kansas City's backfield, and with that offense, he's got a real shot at hitting that number. It's been a while since Patrick Mahomes had a thousand yard rusher, and Walker has the talent to make that happen. Then there's Dak Prescott, who's expected to throw for over 3950 yards. Despite some team struggles in the past, Dak's always put up big passing numbers. If he stays healthy, which the stats suggest he might, he's got the weapons around him to easily surpass that mark.

On the flip side, Carnell Tate, a rookie receiver, is projected to go under 775 receiving yards. The hype around him isn't matching his college production against decent competition, and with other receivers ahead of him, it's tough to see him breaking out immediately. Finally, the Denver Broncos are looking at an under 9 and a half wins. Last year, they had a pretty easy schedule that helped inflate their win total. This year, the schedule looks a lot tougher, especially early on, making it hard to see them repeating last season's success. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
