Green Bay Packers touchdown scorer best bet: Christian Watson (+160)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Christian Watson had a disheartening start to the season, dropping open touchdown passes and failing to score in his first 6 games. However, things have been completely different since that point, with Watson coming alive and leading a resurgent Packers offense. The rookie wideout has 7 touchdowns over the last 5 games, including 2 games with multiple touchdowns during this torrid streak. In steps a Miami secondary that has not exactly been stout this season, allowing a ton of yards and touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. With the Packers offense ranked inside the top 5 in the league in DVOA since Week 10, it’s safe to say Aaron Rodgers has found his form. With Rodgers and Watson having forged a connection I expect another big game, so I’ll bite on the plus-money price.

Miami Dolphins touchdown scorer best bet: Jaylen Waddle (+140)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Considering the explosiveness of their offense, Miami’s receiving corps is always a threat to do damage. With that in mind, it’s hard not to back Jaylen Waddle at this favorable price. Waddle caught a deep touchdown pass against the Bills last week and he’s shined against pedestrian secondaries this season. The young wideout is typically not marked by the opposing team’s best corner, so he should have chances to exploit Green Bay’s secondary throughout the game. He has averaged 5 receptions a game and tallied 7 touchdowns on the season, so I think we’re getting solid value at this price in what should be a high-scoring affair.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer FAQs
What does “anytime touchdown scorer” mean?
Anytime touchdown scorer is a popular player prop bet that NFL bettors can wager on throughout the season. But what is it, and how do you win?
As the name suggests, placing a wager on the anytime touchdown scorer market is when you tip a particular player to score a touchdown during a game. This can be a rushing or receiving touchdown for an offensive player, or you can wager on a team’s defense/special teams to score a touchdown by interception return and fumble return or kickoff and punt returns.
If your player or defense scores a touchdown, you win! The odds will differ from player-to-player depending on the sportsbooks’ calculated probability of that player scoring.
Does anytime touchdown scorer include passing touchdowns?
Not for a quarterback, no. A player must get into the endzone, himself, in order to qualify as an anytime touchdown scorer. If a quarterback throws a touchdown pass, only the player who caught it counts as the scorer. If Joe Burrow throws a touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase, wagers placed on Evans as an anytime touchdown scorer will cash. However, those placed on Rodgers as an anytime touchdown scorer will not (unless he also runs for a TD). See below for more on what the anytime touchdown scorer market means for quarterbacks.
What does anytime touchdown scorer mean for a QB?
For a wager on a QB to be an anytime touchdown scorer to cash, he must follow the same rules as a running back, tight end, or receiver. He must get into the end zone himself, either as a runner or a pass-catcher.
In the age of the mobile quarterback, QBs such as Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray are often seen rushing in for a touchdown on any given Sunday. And don’t forget the occasional Philly Special, either. QBs can sometimes catch passes for TDs, too.
