Thursday's Best NFL Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Joe Mixon – First Touchdown Scorer (+450)
With Stefon Diggs done for the year, it is down to Tank Dell as the prominent receiving option. Someone from the Texans needs to step up, and that will come down to Mixon.
His ability to be valuable in the rushing and passing game will play a large part in the rest of the season. The Jets’ run defense has not been its strong suit this year, and they've allowed the fourth-most rushing touchdowns this season (10).
Tyler Conklin – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+390)
Aaron Rodgers did not have that much time to throw with the struggling offensive line allowing the second-lowest time in the league (2.3 seconds). Recently, instead of letting his receivers go through their route progression, he's been looking to Conklin. The tight end has 16 catches from 20 targets and has scored in back-to-back games.
The Texans have allowed the fourth most touchdowns to tight ends.
C.J. Stroud – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+650)
Stroud has established himself as a top-tier quarterback, seventh in passing yards and tenth in touchdowns. No one talks about an element of his game: how he can use his legs. Stroud comes in with at least three carries in six games. He doesn't have a touchdown, but with the lack of receiving options, he might have to use his legs more, and the Jets have allowed the second most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks this season.
