Itâ€™s Monday night, and that means we have another double-header to wrap up the week. Letâ€™s take a look at our top anytime touchdown scorer picks for tonightâ€™s games.

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans (+150)

People wondered how the Buccaneers receiving core would do without Tom Brady, and Mike Evans is doing just fine. He was near the top in receiving yards heading into Week 2, along with three touchdowns. The Eaglesâ€™ passing defense has struggled to start the season, and theyâ€™ve already allowed four touchdowns to wide receivers.

Cade Otton (+250)

Tampa Bay has to like how Cade Otton has been trending. Last week, he was third behind Evans and Chris Godwin in targets, which is an excellent opportunity for him to have a big game. As we mentioned, the Eagles have been awful against the pass, and theyâ€™ve let the tight end go off on them to start the season, as theyâ€™re the only team to have allowed three touchdowns to the position.

Jalen Hurts (-105)

Taking Hurts for a rushing touchdown is never a bad bet. When the Eagles are in the red zone, he has no problem calling his own number and has scored a rushing touchdown in 11 of his last 14 games, including playoffs.

DeVonta Smith (+150)

The Eagles have two outstanding receivers, but Smith has been the better one to start the season. The Crimson Tide connection between Hurts and Smith has paid so far this season, as Smith has found the endzone in each game.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Puka Nacka (+100)

Nacua has been the talk of the league, as his 25 catches are the most by any player in their first two NFL games. Heâ€™s been the favorite target of Matthew Stafford and has essentially filled into the Cooper Kupp role. One thing we havenâ€™t seen from him is a touchdown, and tonight will be the night.

Kyren Williams (-105)

With Cam Akers gone, Williams has secured the feature-back role. Heâ€™s already seen the end zone three times this season, and he has a favorable matchup in this one. The Bengalsâ€™ run defense has struggled by allowing the second-most yards per game and two rushing touchdowns.

Tee Higgins (+160)

Higgins has been the best performer of this Bengals receiving core in the first two weeks. Depending on the status of Joe Burrow, weâ€™ll see how effective they are in the air, but I still expect Higgins to get a lot of opportunities in the red zone.

Joe Mixon (-105)

If you see Jake Browning in the lineup, you could see the Bengals rely on the run game. Theyâ€™ve been very pass-heavy to start the season, but that could change if Burrow does not suit up. Mixon can be used in both the run and passing game, and heâ€™ll be in the backfield against the Rans, who allowed three rushing touchdowns last week.
