Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season will wrap up with Monday Night Football between the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. At 6-6, New England remains in the AFC wild-card discussion. On the other hand, what has been a disastrous season for 4-8 Arizona is pretty much over.
With kickoff set for 8:15 pm ET on ESPN, it’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made.

Best New England Patriots touchdown scorer bet: Hunter Henry, TE (+340)
On the surface, 2 touchdowns this late into the season is not a great sign for Henry. However, there is plenty to like about his chances of scoring on Monday night – and not just the +340 value. Both of Henry’s TDs have come in the last 7 games, including 1 during a 33-26 loss to Minnesota on November 24. He has been targeted 5 times in each of the past 2 contests (tied for his 2nd-highest number of the year). Best of all, Arizona is completely hopeless when it comes to defending tight ends. The Cardinals are allowing the most targets, most receptions, most yards and most touchdowns to that position. Look for Henry to capitalize on this opportunity.

Best Arizona Cardinals touchdown scorer bet: Marquise Brown, WR (+240)
Hollywood Brown has scored 3 touchdowns in 7 games this season, including 2 in the last 4. His targets over the last 6 contests are 11, 17, 11, 10, 9 and 8. He has caught at least 6 passes on 5 of those occasions. Brown is getting looks all over the field and it would be no surprise if it happens for him in the red zone yet again on Monday. The Patriots’ pass defense is nothing special, giving up 17 TDs through the air so far in 2022. With Rondale Moore out, Brown will be Kyler Murray’s second option behind DeAndre Hopkins.

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 endzone himself, either as a runner or a pass-catcher.
In the age of the mobile quarterback, QBs such as Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen 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.
