2020 NFL Futures Market Analysis: Defensive Rookie Of The Year

Isiah Simmons, Arizona Cardinals +550

Fanduel currently has Simmons as a +550 favorite to win DROY. I think there’s a reasonable chance that Simmons can win the DROY award, and so this represents a value.

Defense is more volatile year to year than offense is in terms of repeat performances, and the Cardinals were abhorrent in defending the middle of the field last year. Pro Football Focus ranked the Cardinals’ Linebacker corps as 29th in the league as a whole, and dead-last defending Tight Ends. It’s unlikely that even without Simmons that the Cardinals linebackers would genuinely be that bad again.
