We are all now impatiently waiting for NFL training camps to begin opening across the country, which is always a sure sign that the new season is right around the corner.
Even before we get to that point, most of us have some opinion as to how we think things will play out this season.
My Analysis
For example, if you asked me today, I would tell you that I think it will be the San Francisco 49ers who will win the Super Bowl this season.
Of course, that opinion could change, especially if injuries have an effect on their playmakers. Speaking of, which, who do you think will make the biggest offensive impact this season?
With that question in mind, let’s take a look at whom the NFL believed were the top offensive performers last season.
^Lamar Jackson MVP Pick +1200
You have to say that Jackson is at the top of the list after winning the NFL MVP last season, which was his 2nd time winning that award.
2023 was his best season as a passer, but he was also still a threat in the running game.
The knock on Jackson, though, is that he still needs to get the job done in the postseason, which has been his Achilles heel to this point in his career.

Christian McCaffrey MVP Pick +4600
During his time in Carolina, it always felt as though McCaffrey was expected to carry much of the offensive burden.
He put up big numbers, but injuries held him back. He does not have to be “the man” in San Francisco, and he appears to be relishing his role, while also staying healthy in the process.
Furthermore, he posted over 2,000 yards from scrimmage in the 2023 season.
^Brock Purdy MVP Pick +1500
I don’t think anyone outside the Purdy family saw Brock making the impact he has with the 49ers, especially when you consider that he was essentially the 4th string guy when injuries forced him into the starting position.
He has been nothing short of brilliant since taking over, and is now easily one of the top QBs in the league.
Can he take the next step and lead the 49ers to a championship this season?
^Tyreek Hill MVP Pick +8000
Some would suggest that moving from the Chiefs to the Dolphins was something of a backward step, but Hill is still delivering the goods, thanks in large part to being the #1 target for Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill led the league in receiving yards in, 2023 with 1,799 yards, a number that could have been a good deal higher had he not been battling an ankle injury in the final few weeks.
^Patrick Mahomes MVP Pick +470
At this point, what else can you say about Patrick Mahomes, who continues to rack up championship rings at an alarming rate.
In terms of numbers, 2023 was a little bit of a down year for Mahomes, but when you basically put the team on your shoulders in the playoffs and win it all, how can you not be on this list?
I think we will see Mahomes bounce back statistically this season, which could be bad news for the rest of the league. He still has all his major targets in place ahead of the new season.

2021 Offensive Players
The NFL is in the second half of their season, which means it’s a good time to check out NFL Offensive Player Rankings. Some players have performed to expectations while other players have exceeded those expectations. Check out the list of the top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers based on stats as well as our top NFL Betting pick and second pick to lead their respective position in yards for the season.
Top NFL Offensive Players Rankings (From Week 1 to Week 10)
Top Offensive Player Rankings – Quarterback (Based on Yards)
- Matthew Stafford LAR – 3,014
- Patrick Mahomes KC – 2,940
- Tom Brady TB – 2,870
- Derek Carr LV – 2,826
- Josh Allen BUF – 2,602
Patrick Mahomes heated up in the game against the Las Vegas Raiders. So much so that he’s a solid play to overtake Matthew Stafford and lead the league in passing yards.
We’re making the KC quarterback our top play. Tom Brady should be up there. So should both Carr and Allen. Among the three, the quarterback with the best chance to lead the league is Brady. He’s our second pick because Tampa Bay can’t rush the football.
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Pick: Patrick Mahomes KC
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Second Pick: Tom Brady TB
Top Offensive Player Rankings – Running Backs
- Jonathan Taylor IND – 937
- Nick Chubb CLE – 721
- Ezekiel Elliott DAL – 663
- Dalvin Cook MIN – 648
- Najee Harris PIT – 646
Sounds crazy, but heading into NFL Week 11, Tennessee running back Derrick Henry was tied with Jonathan Taylor for the most rushing yards in the league.
Taylor, obviously, will take the outright lead because Henry is out for the season. Will Taylor hang onto it? He most certainly will!
At the time of this writing, Indy was on their way to blasting the Buffalo Bills. The Colts were up 38-13 in the fourth quarter. Taylor had already rushed for 154 yards and 4 TDs.
Our second pick is Ezekiel Elliott. Zeke benefits from playing behind Dak Prescott. Dak is a legit NFL MVP candidate, which means Elliott should continue to excel at running back.
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Pick: Jonathan Taylor
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Second Pick: Ezekiel Elliott
Top Offensive Player Rankings – Wide Receivers
- Cooper Kupp LAR – 1,141
- Deebo Samuel SF – 979
- Davante Adams GB – 864
- Tyreek Hill KC – 855
- Ja’Marr Chase CIN – 835
We’re going to say Davante Adams, who had 7 catches for 115 yards and 2 TD catches in a close NFL Week 11 game versus the rival Vikings at the time of this writing, overtakes Cooper Kupp.
We like Kupp. But the Rams don’t rush the ball well. Rodgers to Adams should end up the top QB-WR combo in the league.
It’s tough to be in love in love with Deebo Samuel’s chances of leading the league in receiving yards. San Francisco has a tough schedule the rest of the way. We also believe Cincinnati rookie Ja’Marr Chase slows down some.
As Patrick Mahomes goes, so goes Tyreek Hill. The speedy wideout will benefit from Mahome’s reemergence as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Hill is the second pick.
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Pick: Davante Adams
Offensive Player Stat Yards Leader Second Pick: Tyreek Hill
