Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Daniel Jones (2,404 yards) moved into the league lead in total passing yards after Week 9, despite having a poor turnover day.
The difference among the top four QBs is minimal, all separated by less than 100 total yards.
Matthew Stafford (Rams) and Sam Darnold (Seahawks) continue to lead the league in yards per game (268.4 and 260.5 respectively) among QBs who have played 8 games.

We are going with Justin Herbert here, due to his historically high passing volume and elite arm talent, which is being utilized extensively in the Chargers' current offensive scheme. Despite the Chargers' commitment to a renewed ground game under Jim Harbaugh, Herbert still ranks among the league leaders in passing attempts and yards per game (265.6 YPG) while playing with impressive efficiency.
His tendency to consistently throw for large volumes of yardage, combined with the fact that he is currently second in total passing yards (2,390) and his team often relies on his arm talent to stay competitive, ensures he will remain near the top of the leaderboard for the duration of the season.
The NFL Passing Yards leader is a futures market that allows you to bet on which quarterback will lead the NFL in passing yards. It’s a pretty straightforward market; the player with the most wins. Betting on a player to do so is pretty straightforward.
To begin, I suggest conducting some research into the top players on the board, i.e., who they play for, their team’s offensive philosophy, roster depth (receivers and o-line), play calling, etc. Once you feel like you can make an informed decision, do the following:
Read our sportsbook reviews and decide on a sportsbook(s) to join. Download their respective sports betting apps and register for a new account.
Be sure to do whatever you need to so that you can claim their welcome bonus.
Find the page with ‘NFL Passing Yards Leader odds’ and locate the player you wish to bet on.
Fill out the betting slip and place your bet.
As a futures market, the odds for a player to lead the league in passing yards will be a three-digit number with either a + or – in front of it, designating whether the market has ‘plus money odds’ or minus money odds.’ What does that mean?
If a player has plus money odds, i.e., +110, +500, +900, +1500, etc., the number is what a $100 wager at those odds would win. For example, a $100 bet +110 would result in a $210 payday, your stake plus $110 in winnings.
But if it’s later in the season and it’s become obvious who will probably win, that player will have ‘minus money odds’ like -110, -250, -500, etc. What that means is that to win $100, you’ll need to bet that number.
For example, if your player has odds of -500, it will take a $500 wager to win $100.
When I bet on NFL Passing Yards Leader odds, there are two primary factors I take into consideration. If I haven't joined a sportsbook, is their welcome bonus one I should take advantage of? If not, then I look for the sportsbook with the most perks from the ones I have joined.
My favorite betting sites are BetMGM Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. Both have competitive odds and good apps.
BetMGM offers the most perks to existing users, i.e., odds boosters, deposit match bonuses, and its rewards program. Also, welcome offer for new users who register with our promo code WSNSPORTS is enticing: Get Up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets*.
