Saints vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Marquez Valdes-Scantling (+475)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
Lets get right into our longshot of the night – Marquez Valdes-Scantling +475 to score a touchdown. He’s failed to practice all week due to a chest injury and added an illness tag towards the end of the week. Not encouraging signs, but we’ll take our chances at this ridiculous price.
The Saints are two touchdown dogs in Lambeau Field led by a rookie quarterback. But Spencer Rattler led a ferocious comeback last week versus the Commanders which included two touchdown drives in the 2nd half when he came in for Jake Haener. He even nearly won the game for the Saints, but a failed 2-point conversion was the difference. That said, we’re getting great prices across the board for Saints skill players. Marquez Valdes-Scantling reeled in 8 20-yard receptions over the last 5 weeks, including a 39-yard catch passed by Rattler on the first drive of the 2nd half. In what projects to be a negative game script, I’d expect Rattler to take multiple shots towards Marquez Valdes-Scantling way.
Saints vs Packers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Christian Watson (+200)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We’re targeting another deep-ball threat on Monday Night Football in wide receiver Christian Watson at +200. It’s been over 2 months since the last time Watson found the endzone, but the Saints bottom 5 DADOT has Watson as an intriguing target. He’s caught 9 20+ yard receptions over the last 5 weeks and leads the Packers in air yards this season and just behind Bo Melton in aDOT.
