NFL Week 3 Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Sunday Night Football (49ers vs. Broncos)
Tonight we have a matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos. Millions of dollars will get bet on this game. However, which touchdown prop bets should you bet? Let's take a look.
All props are from DraftKings.
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.
Anytime TD Scorer: George Kittle (TE - SF) +180
After missing the first two games of the year with a groin injury, Kittle is off the injury report and ready to go. While he has never been a massive touchdown guy, Kittle averaged a career-high 0.43 touchdowns per game last season. Meanwhile, the Broncos have struggled to cover tight ends this year. They have surrendered two touchdowns to the position, the second-most in the NFL. Furthermore, Denver has given up the fifth-most receptions to tight ends this season. Don't be surprised if Kittle makes a statement in his season debut and scores at least one touchdown tonight.
Anytime TD Scorer: Jerry Jeudy (WR - DEN) +390
When the Broncos made the blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson in the offseason, many expected the offense to become an explosive unit. However, that hasn't been the case, as Denver has two offensive touchdowns over the first two games this season, scoring one in both games. While that is disheartening, they haven't faced a talented offense this season. More importantly, Jeudy has one of the two touchdowns this season, catching a 67-yard bomb in Week 1. More importantly, the 49ers gave up two touchdowns to the Chicago Bears wide receivers in Week 1 despite the awful weather conditions. After suffering a shoulder injury last week, Jeudy is ready to go for tonight's game and will hopefully find the end zone.
