NFL Monday Night Football Touchdown Scorers: Bengals vs. Cowboys
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Chase Brown: First Touchdown Scorer (+485)
Chase Brown has solidified the lead back role and has found success with over 90 yards from scrimmage in four straight and a touchdown in three. This is a game where we could see Brown be featured heavily, with Dallas being one of the worst run defenses in the league.
The Cowboys rank 31st in rushing yards allowed per game and yards allowed per carry. They have allowed 15 touchdowns to the position.
Mike Gesicki: Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+230)
This could turn into a potential shootout with how bad these defenses are and a game where multiple pass-catchers get opportunities. After a few recent underwhelming seasons, Mike Gesicki has been featured more in Cincinnati. He is third on the team in targets (52), receptions (43) and receiving yards (436).
The Cowboys are stingy regarding receiving yards allowed to tight ends (ninth). However, they have allowed six touchdowns to the position, the fourth-most.
Brandin Cooks: Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+320)
Brandin Cooks missed nearly two months due to injury. As soon as he returned, though, he was contributing again. Last week against the Giants, he saw seven targets, catching three, one of which landed him in the end zone. This Bengals secondary is 27th in dropback expected points added (EPA) and has allowed the sixth-most touchdowns to the position.
You always have to pay attention to where CeeDee Lamb is and with Jake Ferguson returning Cooks could see favorable matchups.
