2022 NFL Regular-Season Rushing Yards Leader Betting Breakdown

With a little less than four weeks before the first week of the 2022 NFL season, betting opportunities exist in the player prop market at SI Sportsbook.

By process of elimination, it’s pretty easy to cross off many players from the betting odds list. For example: Since 1991, every rushing leader had a floor of 1,327 yards (Kareem Hunt in 2017). Therefore, any thought of Lamar Jackson (+4500) leading the NFL in rushing yards is quickly dismissed. Any back in a split role with a focus on pass-catching value can be eliminated – Tony Pollard, Chase Edmonds, D’Andre Swift, Aaron Jones, Austin Ekeler, Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey.
