Tempting odds for Colts backfield tandem to win OPOY

quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor have the fifth-best odds at their respective positions to win Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award, according to FanDuel.

Colts head coach Shane Stechein’s run-pass-option offensive scheme is powerful and features one of the league’s most lethal backfield tandems. Indianapolis boasted one of the best rushing attacks despite neither player leading the team in rushing yards last season. The Colts averaged 4.3 yards per rush and 121.1 rushing yards per game, both tenth-best in the league. In five games last season, the Colts compiled 200 passing yards and 150 rushing yards, which was the third-most games in the NFL.
