When the Vikings and Broncos face off this week, more could be on the line than just winning the game. Joshua Dobbs and Ru sell Wilson could make or break their shot at winning Comeback Player of the Year.Despite being inactive for much of  Jim Thome Jersey the season, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has remained the betting favorite to win Comeback Player of the Year (CPOY).But with his lack of playing time, it is getting harder to ignore the adversity players like Dobbs and Wilson have overcome this season.Here are the latest odds to win Comeback Player of the Year from the:Comeback Player of the Year is a relatively new award, with the first getting handed out in 1998. There isn't a hard definition of what makes a player eligible to win; he just needs to have shown perseverance in overcoming adversity.Adversity could undoubtedly be a season-ending injury, but it could also include coming out of retirement, rebounding from a bad season(s), etc.Quarterbacks have dominated the award, having won it 15 times, including the last five. Nine of the last 13 were returning from a significant injury. As for the other four:Geno Smith (2022): Acareer backup, Smith was widely considered a placeholder for the Seahawks in 2022. But heshocked the world by finishing among the leaders in several statistical categories as he led Seattle to a 9-8 record.Ryan Tannehill (2019): Many expected the trade from the Dolphins to the Titans to be the nail in the coffin of his career. But once he got the chance to play, he helped Tenne see finish 9-7 and qualify for a wild card spot.Phillip Rivers (2013): After two lackluster seasons in a row, Rivers rebounded in 2013 with a Pro  Nick Wittgren Jersey Bowl-caliber season and helped the Chargers make the playoffs.Michael Vick (2010): The Eagles gave him a shot to get back into the NFL after he was released from prison. After taking over as the starter in 2010, he went on to have one of the best seasons of his career, leading the Eagles to a 10-6 record and the NFC East title.There Larry Doby Jersey  is no denying the solid case that Bills safety Damar Hamlin has. The amount of playing time may not matter much since he is coming back from suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during a game.But the fact that he has yet to play many meaningful snaps this season could shift voters' attention to other players making noteworthy comebacks, like Joshua Dobbs and Ru sell Wilson.More NFL wagering:|Why Joshua Dobbs should win Comeback Player of the YearThe case for Dobbs is a lot like what developed for Geno Smith last season. After being drafted by the Steelers in 2017 (during Ben Roethlisberger's final years), he bounced around the league, doing enough to make the roster but rarely seeing the field.This season, he has spent time on the Browns (offseason/training camp), Cardinals and Vikings rosters. An injury forced Minnesota to put him in days after the trade without practicing with the team (a game Minnesota won Edwin Encarnacion Jersey ).Now that he is starting, Dobbs is thriving. Minnesota has gone 2-0 with Dobbs at quarterback and he didn't even practice with the team before leading them to the first win.He just needed a chance. Now that he's got it, he is making the most of it.Making a case for Ru sell Wilson to win CPOYWilson's case for winning CPOY is much like the argument for Phillip Rivers in 2013. He is not trying to battle back from an injury. No, but he is trying to bounce back after having theworst season of his career last year.Expectations were low for the Broncos this season and even lower for Wilson. With the team getting off to a 1-5 start, it was easy to a sume the worst about Wilson.But after beating the Bills on MNF and extending the Broncos' winning streak to three games, one thing became clear: Wilson was playing well.He's not generating insane stat lines; he has thrown for under 200 yards in six of nine games.However, he has thrown 18 touchdowns (second-most in the NFL) and just four interceptions.So, he is making something out  Trevor Bauer Jersey of the offense he does generate.Joshua Dobbs Ru sell Wilson If Dobbs had decided to hang up his cleats at any point over the last few years, no one would have blamed him. But he held on, was traded twice this season and could now lead the Vikings to the playoffs.Wilson has been playing well all season, but the slow start to the season (1-5) may be too much for many voters to overlook. But if he can keep the Broncos winning while making few mistakes, his case becomes more compelling.        If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
