The absence of Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love for the next four to five weeks has had an impact that goes beyond Arizona's backfield.
Love missing the next month or so of the season because of a high ankle sprain has turned the Offensive Rookie of the Year award into anyone's one to win. He was the overwhelming +200 favorite for the award after he was selected No. 3 overall by Arizona in the NFL Draft. But after he was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, those odds are +5000 at DraftKings.
Titans receiver Carnell Tate is now the lukewarm +350 favorite, but he did not play last week because of a shoulder injury. He also has yet to separate himself from the rest of the rookies with his play this season (34 receptions for 413 yards and one touchdown).
Love's injury and Tate's less-than-stellar start provide an opportunity to find value in a wide-open Offensive Rookie of the Year field. That's just one of three end-of-the-year awards in which the betting favorite is not the best choice.
