- David Montgomery (Texans RB) is the top anytime TD pick at -105 despite combining with Woody Marks for just 18 yards on 14 carries against the Bengals; Houston faces a Colts defense that is the third in NFL history to allow 500+ yards of total offense in each of its first two games.
- Jadarian Price (Seahawks rookie RB) is recommended at +150 to score his first career TD after turning 26 touches into 118 yards with zero trips to the end zone; backup Emanuel Wilson rushed 21 times for 92 yards replacing him in the Week 2 fourth quarter.
- Tee Higgins (Bengals WR) is recommended at +175 against the Steelers, against whom he has caught six career TDs (tied for his most vs. any single opponent) and scored in each of his last two meetings with Pittsburgh.
- Harold Fannin Jr. (Browns TE) is a flier pick at +235, with his target share rising from two catches for 21 yards in Week 1 to five for 54 yards in Week 2; Carolina will be without star linebacker Devin Lloyd.
- Jaylen Waddle (Broncos WR) is recommended at +210 after posting 138 yards on eight receptions against Jacksonville — his highest output in 22 games — with Broncos teammate Courtland Sutton calling it 'the tip of the iceberg' and saying more were 'in our back pocket.'
- The Commanders will be without starting QB Jayden Daniels on Sunday against Seattle, while Sam Darnold returns from a 'very unique soft-tissue injury' to start for the 2-0 Seahawks, whose defense has allowed just 17 points through two games (the fewest by any team through two weeks since 2013).
Why it matters: Anytime TD props carry longer odds than standard scoring markets, making these picks parlay-leg value plays rather than sure things — bettors get plus-money payouts on rookies like Price or secondary weapons like Fannin while paying heavy juice (-105) on Montgomery. The five selections are explicitly chosen to avoid chalk picks like Jahmyr Gibbs or Derrick Henry, targeting matchups where defensive weakness (Colts), injury depletion (Commanders without Daniels), or individual history (Higgins vs. Steelers) tilt the odds favorably.
