NFL Week 3 First Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Sunday Night Football (49ers vs. Broncos)
San Francisco 49ers First TD Scorer: Deebo Samuel (WR) +360
The 49ers have been crushed by injuries so far this season. Trey Lance is out of the year with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Elijah Mitchell and the rookie Tyron Davis-Price will miss multiple weeks because of injuries. While San Francisco will get George Kittle back tonight, the lack of firepower has to be a concern. More importantly, Samuel is arguably the most explosive and versatile player in the NFL. He is first on the team in targets (13) and fourth in rushing attempts (12). If the 49ers are going to get off to a hot start tonight, they need to feed Deebo the ball.
Denver Broncos First TD Scorer: Javonte Williams (RB) +390
While he hasn't scored a touchdown this season, Williams has a great shot to score the first touchdown tonight for the Broncos. Everyone wanted to know how the backfield would shake out between Williams and Melvin Gordon in the offseason. Over the first two weeks of the year, both running backs have 22 rushing attempts, but Williams leads the team in receptions with 12. Meanwhile, the 49ers did a good job stopping the run last week against the Seattle Seahawks, giving up only 34 rushing yards to their running backs. However, the Seattle running backs had only 12 rushing attempts. Expect the Broncos to feature Williams in this game as they try to get the offense on track.
