00:00AP, NFL regular season offensive player of the year. Lamar Jackson is fantastic. How

00:08would he be without Derrick Henry? Derrick Henry is sitting at even money for this award.

00:12Jalen Hurd, you're talking about him at the right now, 16 to one. What would that look

00:15like if he didn't have that security of Saquon Barkley, plus 175. Then Jomar Chase pokes

00:20his head in at plus a thousand here, but let's have this conversation here. For me, it's

00:24Derrick Henry, but Saquon Barkley could have, could make an argument, but Derrick Henry

00:28is the straw that stirs the drink, Joe. He could. What might hurt Derrick Henry is all

00:34the Lamar Jackson MVP hype, right? Like if that really starts to go off the rails a little

00:39bit, let's say they beat the Steelers today and let's say Lamar has a great game, right?

00:43And that happens. And then the Ravens got to run the table. Do they want to give these

00:48awards to two Ravens? That's the conversation to have. That's rare that that actually happens.

00:55So you could see them spreading around to Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley might be a

00:59more important piece that Jalen hurts in some people's eyes in the media because Saquon

01:03Barkley is having some huge games and some big moments. He's putting in those big highlight

01:07moments, you know, when he's spinning backwards and hurtling people, that's pretty spectacular

01:11stuff. Now Jomar Chase is lingering out there too. And let's not forget Jomar Chase is playing

01:16for a contract. I expect a lot of big games still ahead for Jomar Chase. I would not be

01:20shocked again, if this number goes from plus 1000. And by the time we hit December 1st,

01:24it looks a little bit more like maybe plus 400. But Barkley I think is the better investment

01:30right now because if Lamar is the top guy at the mountain, two Ravens for the two big

01:34awards, that's typically a tough sell in the media. You don't see people vote quite that

01:39way.

01:40All right. All right. Joe, who's the NFL comeback player of the year and why is it Kirk Cousins?

01:47Well right now it's Kirk Cousins. Joe Burrow is in this conversation too. Guys who have

01:53really fallen off from this conversation once upon a time was Aaron Rodgers by a lot.

01:56Now he's plus 2600. JK Dobbins in there. There's also a guy floating around there, Nick Chubb

02:01at plus 2900. And the Nick Chubb story is a very interesting one, kids, because if Nick

02:07Chubb is Nick Chubb the rest of the season, that is a comeback story. Blow out your entire

02:13knee and come back and even play the next year. Keep an eye on it.
