From the article

Jonathan Taylor looked set to run away with OPOY honors last year, as the Indianapolis Colts running back was the odds-on favorite through the first half of the campaign. Despite the team's struggles, the Colts' running back still finished with the second-most rushing yards in the NFL, falling just 26 short of James Cook. Backed by a stout offensive line and a two-year, $44 million extension, Taylor remains a solid pick heading into a fresh campaign.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Taylor's OPOY case strengthens with elite rushing yards and new contract backing.

The source picks Jonathan Taylor for Offensive Player of the Year with a 5% Kalshi probability. Taylor was the OPOY favorite through the first half of last season but saw production dips during the Colts' late-season collapse (losing nine of their final 10 games). Despite team struggles, Taylor finished with the second-most rushing yards in the NFL, just 26 yards behind James Cook. Backed by a stout offensive line and a two-year, $44 million extension, the source views Taylor as a solid pick heading into the fresh campaign.
