Skyy Moore vs. Romeo Doubs vs. Chris Olave (Which Rookie Will Have More Receiving Yards?)
The 2022 NFL Draft Class has so many intriguing players to follow – especially at the wide receiver position.
Right now, Romeo Doubs is the talk of the town – as his odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year have skyrocketed at sportsbooks everywhere.
However, there are still several receivers that are expected to give Doubs a run for his money when it comes to raw statistics.
DraftKings has Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints as the favorite to lead all rookie receivers in yards this season. Behind Olave, there are seven other receivers ahead of Doubs. There’s several receivers in the mix, but let’s look at the three names that show up on every list.
Most Rookie Receiving Yards Odds
- Chris Olave: +550
- Treylon Burks: +650
- Drake London: +650
- Jahan Dotson: +800
- Garrett Wilson: +900
- George Pickens: +1000
- Jalen Tolbert: +1000
- Skyy Moore: +1200
- Romeo Doubs: +1200
Chris Olave vs. Skyy Moore vs. Romeo Doubs
Even though Olave is the favorite, I wouldn’t pick him over Moore or Doubs. The former both have the best quarterbacks in the game and while Jameis Winston isn’t a scrub, he’s not Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers.
Moore and Doubs are also going to be in the conversation for the No. 1 receiver spot. Doubs might have more of a chance to get the top spot than Moore, but they both are coming in and expected to fill a massive hole.
On top of that, Moore is top three in the OROY odds standings, which is very interesting when you think about it. He’s at the bottom of the top 10 in rookie receiving yards, but he’s top three among all rookies.

Why would the oddsmakers do that?
When it comes to OROY odds, Olave is tied for third with Moore and George Pickens at +1000 and Doubs is just outside the top 5 at +1100.
There’s so many odds that suggest different things that at this point, it would make more sense to take the receivers further down the board to get the most value. There’s so much uncertainty around all these rookies that +1200 for Moore or Doubs might be a steal.
