NFL Comeback Player of the Year best bet
QB Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons (+500)
Rodgers is the favorite at +130 and is a good candidate because he only lasted 4 plays last season in his first year with the Jets. He has weapons to throw to and is one of the best QBs in the league. However, that +130 doesn’t offer much value.
If you want a combination of likelihood of winning and value, Cousins is the guy to bet on at +500.
He was playing at a high level before going down midseason with a torn Achilles. He is with a new team in Atlanta, which won 7 games last season despite below-average quarterback play. The Falcons have a good number of offensive weapons for Cousins to thrive.
Cousins, with RBs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, TE Kyle Pitts and WRs Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Rondale Moore, can lead the Falcons to a division title and put up his customary 4,000-plus passing yards.
Coming back from the injury, putting up volume numbers and leading a team to an NFC South title makes Cousins a great value pick for the award.
BET KIRK COUSINS to win NFL COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR (+500).
