NFL Week 16 Anytime Touchdown Scorers

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Alvin Kamara (-110)

Alvin Kamara came back from his suspension and commanded the starting role in the backfield.  He's been dominating the usage every week, with at least 20 touches in 7-of-11 games.  The Rams have been efficient against running backs, allowing just six total touchdowns, but Kamara has been finding the end zone regularly with three in his last two games.

Tyler Higbee (+290)

The Saints aren't very good against tight ends either, and they have allowed seven touchdowns. Higbee hasn't been the most reliable option this year, but Matthew Stafford has been throwing pretty well, and Higgy has benefitted to the tune of 11 catches and two touchdowns in his last three games.

Juwan Johnson (+500)

It had been a while since Juwan Johnson found the end zone, but he hit pay dirt last week in the win against the Giants. He's come through the last two weeks by catching five straight targets, so he could become a reliable option for Derek Carr. He had been dealing with a quad injury this year, but he's been getting in full practices, which could mean a bump in route participation. Los Angeles has struggled against tight ends as their seven touchdowns allowed is the second-most to the position.
