Where Titans WR Carnell Tate Ranks Among Betting Favorites for OROY

Tennessee Titans receiver Carnell Tate has lived up to expectations so far. 

He leads the Titans and all rookie receivers with 413 receiving yards. He still has the lead after missing one game due to a shoulder injury. He also leads all rookie wideouts in receptions (34) heading into Week 9. 

He scored his first NFL touchdown in the 26-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. 

Tate is trending towards a 1,000-yard season as a rookie; something hasn't been done in Titans history since A.J. Brown's first season in 2019. 

He is also starting to trend toward some NFL honors. He already took home the award for the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Month for October.

Tate is in the running for something better now. The betting favorites for Offensive Rookie of the Year were released recently on Kalshi, a prediction market where you can bet on real-world events. 

Tate is currently the favorite to win the award at 23%. He is followed by Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (15%) and Cleveland Browns receiver Denzel Boston (13%). Other rookies like K.C. Concepcion (8%), Antonio Williams (6%), Omar Cooper Jr. (5%) and Fernando Mendoza (4%) have also been receiving votes. 

Tate showed us his true potential when he led the Titans with 145 receiving yards in the 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. He had a down game against the Houston Texans, but rebounded by leading the Titans in receiving yards in his last two games. 

His lead in rookie receiving yards may not stand after this weekend since the Titans are on a bye. Boston is close behind Tate, with 409 receiving yards entering Week 9. 

The Browns play the New Orleans Saints, and he just needs five yards to pass Tate, which seems likely. 

Tate is recovering from a shoulder injury, but the belief is that it was just a one-week absence. With the Titans not playing this weekend, he should have plenty of time to recover for their next game with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 15. 

It's been two years since the Titans earned a win over the Jaguars. The last time the Titans beat them was at the end of the 2023 regular season. 

After the Jaguars eliminated the Titans from playoff contention one year before, Tennessee got its revenge and knocked Jacksonville out with a 28-20 win. 

The Titans already ended a losing streak to the Indianapolis Colts this season. We'll see if they can do the same with the Jaguars.
