Thursday's Best NFL Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Mike Evans – First Touchdown Scorer (+750)
Evans is one of the best red zone receivers in the game. His size and contested catch ability make him a go-to when you get inside the 20.
Baker Mayfield has had great success throwing to Evans in the end zone. Last year, he led the team in red zone targets, catches, and touchdowns.
This season, all three of his catches in the red zone have resulted in a touchdown.
Tyler Allgeier Anytime Touchdown (+205)
Bijan Robinson has been limited in practice due to a hamstring injury. He does not carry an injury designation as of Thursday morning but we'll see if it impacts him during a short week.
That could mean Allgeier gets a slight increase in snap share. He already has 27 carries on the year and is averaging 6.1 yards. He and Robinson have the same number of carries inside the 20 with six, but Robinson has -3 rushing yards while Allgeier has 18. He could see more opportunities in this game.
Darnell Mooney Anytime Touchdown (+210)
His options for receivers have helped Kirk Cousins get acclimated to this offense. Mooney never lived up to his potential during his stint in Chicago, but he has come over and been a vital part of this offense as Cousins' No. 2 option.
Both sides will emphasize passing, so Mooney should get plenty of chances to score.
