Thursday's Best NFL TD Scorer Picks: Seahawks vs. Bears
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Zach Charbonnet: First Touchdown Scorer (+330)
It will be another game without Kenneth Walker, who has an ankle injury. This injury comes after he missed two games with a calf injury, which is why they drafted Zach Charbonnet. In the two games Walker missed, Charbonnet totaled 259 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns.
The Bears have been one of the worst run defenses in the league, ranking 31st in rushing yards allowed per game. Their 16 rushing touchdowns allowed to running backs are the third-most in the league.
Keenan Allen: Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+225)
The beginning of Keenan Allen's first season in Chicago started slow, but it has picked up over the last few weeks. In his last five games, he's averaging 82 yards per game and scored in four games.
The Bears have been playing from behind a lot during this long losing streak, and Williams has been throwing the ball more. The Seahawks have been vulnerable against wide receivers, allowing 18 touchdowns, the third-most in the NFL.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+195)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has stamped his mark in becoming the No. 1 WR for Geno Smith, scoring five touchdowns in his last seven games. He's also been getting a bulk of the targets, with 12 in each of the previous two games. We shouldn't expect that to change.
The Bears’ secondary has struggled in recent weeks, allowing over 300 passing yards in three of the last five games. Smith-Njigba can break one off tonight.
