NFL Thursday Night Football Touchdown Scorers: Steelers vs. Browns
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Cedric Tillman – First Touchdown Scorer (+1300)
Since Jameis Winston has taken over as quarterback, Cedric Tillman has taken over the No. 1 WR spot. In the last four games, he's averaging six catches and 75.5 yards and has scored three touchdowns.
This week is a good spot, with the Pittsburgh secondary ranking 16th in receiving yards allowed to wide receivers. With the potential volume, Tillman will see a lot of opportunities. Winston has thrown 41+ passes in each start. To keep up with the Steelers, he will look for his favorite target.
Najee Harris – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+105)
The Browns’ run defense is more vulnerable than in previous seasons. They allow 4.5 yards per carry, rank 16th in rush success rate and have allowed 11 rushing touchdowns.
Najee Harris is starting to find paydirt and has a touchdown in three of his last five games. Jaylen Warren weaves his way into the lineup, but Harris still has at least 17 carries in seven games this season.
George Pickens – Anytime Touchdown (+200)
Russell Wilson brings the air attack Justin Fields didn’t. The biggest beneficiary has been George Pickens. Since Wilson became the starter, Pickens has been averaging 91.2 receiving yards per game and has scored two touchdowns.
Cleveland's pass defense has been vulnerable to wide receivers and has allowed the fourth-most touchdowns to the position.
