Patrick Mahomes remains a strong favorite in the NFL Passing Yards odds for 2022 after another big day in Week 14.
The Kansas City Chiefs QB threw for 352 yards in a 34-28 win over the Broncos in Denver, and thankfully the 3 interceptions he tossed will not impact his ability to lead this category at all.
Here is where things stand for the odds heading into Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season.
Odds to lead the NFL in Passing Yards
Mahomes is a -500 favorite after Week 14, and he increased the gap to his nearest challenger – Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow. He could only put up 239 passing yards in a 23-10 win over the hated Cleveland Browns.
On +1000 along with Burrow is Justin Herbert of the Chargers. He produced probably the most impressive personal performance by a QB in Week 14, throwing for 367 yards in a crucial win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football.
Here is the latest line after the Week 14 games:
- -500 Patrick Mahomes
- +1000 Joe Burrow
- +1000 Justin Herbert
- +2000 Josh Allen
- +3000 Tom Brady
NB: Odds correct December 12, 2022

Who led the NFL in passing yards?
A look at the last 10 years and recent history shows how much offense through the air matters, and how often the marquee QBs head the way:
- 2021: Tom Brady – 5316
- 2020: Deshaun Watson – 4823
- 2019: Jameis Winston – 5109
- 2018: Ben Roethlisberger – 5129
- 2017: Tom Brady – 4577
- 2016: Drew Brees – 5208
- 2015: Drew Brees – 4870
- 2014: Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger – 4952
- 2013: Peyton Manning – 5477
- 2012: Drew Brees – 5177
The ageless Tom Brady led the way with 5316 passing yards despite a ton of injuries to his receivers. Stellar.
If by efficiency you mean pass completion percentage (we would), then the leader in 2021 was Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals with a terrific mark of 70.4 percent.
