Courtland Sutton Gets Short Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds After Thomas Trade

Demaryius Thomas’ trade to Houston creates opportunity for Sutton in Denver Sutton tallied season-high 78 yards in last week’s 30-23 loss to Chiefs Barkley, Mayfield, Darnold continue to lead way on OROY odds Winners in just one of their past five, the Denver Broncos pulled the trigger on a trade deadline deal this week that sent veteran wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
