I don't think I'm being a Nostradamus to think that he's the odds-on favorite to be AFC Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The AFC North is probably the worst division for him to go against. All 3 run defenses are awesome.

And yet Peyton Hillis somehow became a flippin' coast-to-coast legend running behind that line.

I think I like Richardson's chances.

Whoops. Still I dont think they give out awards to an NFC and an AFC guy. Could be wrong though

A running back will always be a good bet for ROY since QB's are more likely to struggle a bit as rookies.

2 teams in the division are know for defense. That amounts to 4 games. What about the other 12? Especially for a last place team.

You might be right about that... I may be flashing back to the 1960's and 70's again.

I think he'll be okay this year, but "odds-on" favorite? Not so much

7 games against top 10 Rushing D's Pitt, Balt,Cincy, Dallas

5 games against bottom 10 rushing defenses, and 4 against the rest

If there was such an honor as AFC rookie of the year I'd go with Fleener. Luck will lean on him but Luck's numbers won't be good enough.

Cicny's improving, but they are not "known" for defense.

That's been a huge problem for MJD.

All teams that last year allowed between 92-104 ypg.

He doesn't have to lead the league in rushing to be OROY btw.
