The competition for the top spot remains close, with Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Saints and Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints close behind at +2500. In comparison, running backs like Kenneth Walker of the Chiefs, Bijan Robinson of the Falcons, and Ja'Mar Chase of the Bengals sit at significantly higher odds.
