Fernando Mendoza: Offensive ROY+1000+200

Fernando Mendoza’s first start for Las Vegas is enough to make him the Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite at Circa.

“There’s no standout rookie of the year right now. The race is completely wide open,” Circa risk manager Jamey Pilegg said. “Circa also has a decent liability on Mendoza, so we needed to be aggressive with the move.”

Another quarterback change: Miami moved from +2.5 to +4 against Indianapolis after Malik Willis (groin) was placed on injured reserve and Kyle McCord was named the starter.
