Oddsmakers say Chargers RB Melvin Gordon is the favorite to win OROY

May 05, 2015

Las Vegas oddsmakers have made running back Melvin Gordon the favorite to with the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The sportsbook Bovada.com lists Gordon's odds at 13 to 2.

Quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, drafted first and second, are next at 7 to 1.

Behind them are three other players drafted before Gordon: receiver Amari Cooper 15-2, running back Todd Gurley 8-1 and receiver Kevin White 10-1.

Fantasy Impact:

All six players were first round picks. We agree that Gordon has the best chance to shine among the running backs, especially since Gurley is coming off of an ACL tear.

Jets WR Davante Adams misses Wednesday practice with illness and wrist soreness

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Out, Mac Jones In for Week 11

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out again this week, per coach Doug Pederson. Mac Jones starts again at Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

In Mac Jones' first start, the Jaguars managed only 7 points while the quarterback took 22 pass attempts to reach a 111-0-2 stat line. This is a downgrade to all Jaguars pass-catchers, while Jones is unplayable in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders day-to-day with foot/ankle injury

Panthers RB Miles Sanders, who was carted off with a foot/ankle injury in Germany, is considered day-to-day after extensive tests and a visit with an expert, sources say.

They want the swelling to go down, and he could miss a little time. But as of now, not considered major.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

Even with the Panthers Week 11 bye week, it's hard to envision much of a role for Sanders moving forward, with Brooks slated to become a part of the offense after the bye. Even if Brooks doesn't see the field, Sanders shouldn't be held on any fantasy rosters right now.
