Injuries and bye weeks are taking over the league. With injuries, players are ready to step into bigger roles. Let’s dive into our NFL Week 6 anytime touchdown scorer best bets, while you can also find out our experts’ NFL picks for EVERY game.
Dolphins vs Colts anytime touchdown scorer pick: Raheem Mostert (+290)

Before we get into it, De’Von Achane said he’s “good to go” for Sunday’s duel against the Indianapolis Colts. But in just his second season in the NFL, he already has a laundry list of injuries. Meanwhile, veteran Raheem Mostert will be suiting up for the third time this year. But he ran incredibly well last week for 80 yards on 18 carries. We’re putting our faith in Tyler Huntley getting the Dolphins down to the redzone for Mostert to capitalize.
Eagles vs Giants anytime touchdown scorer pick: A.J. Brown (+155)

All the talk leading up to Eagles-Giants surrounds Saquon Barkley in preparation for his return to MetLife, but I’m not willing to lay -155 for him to find the endzone. Instead, I’m turning to A.J. Brown, the captivating wideout who returned to action last week and scored a touchdown along with 116 yards.
Brown is a daunting figure, and Jalen Hurts trusts Brown one-on-one, as we saw them conclude their win against the Browns. Brown’s team leaguing aDOT makes him a threat to catch a long ball any chance, especially against a Giants team ranking in the bottom 10 in air yards allowed.
Raiders vs Rams anytime touchdown scorer pick: Brock Bowers (+210)
Line available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
It didn’t take long for Brock Bowers to become Aidan O’Connell’s favorite target, though he didn’t have much choice with Davante Adams sidelined, and now a New York Jet, and Tre Tucker not getting a single target. Nonetheless, Bowers reeled in nine of his 10 targets, which accounted for 27% of the team’s targets.
In Week 7, Bowers and the Raiders will be matched against the Los Angeles Rams, who allowed two touchdowns to tight end Tucker Kraft the week before their bye week. With Adams shipped off to New York and Jakobi Meyers doubtful to play, expect O’Connell to look Bowers’s way often.
