The odds table above will by no means be exhaustive. We’ll highlight some intriguing options but encourage you to dig into players who interest you. When shopping for the best ATTD odds, use our prop betting tool to find the best prices for any player.

Finally, we don’t advise betting too much for a single game. There are only so many touchdowns, so betting multiple players to score cuts against your expected value.

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki Over 0.5 (+285) on DraftKings

All eyes will be on whether Ja’Marr Chase can come close to last week’s supernova performance. The mercurial receiver has delighted fantasy owners this year with a WR1 output, but the Chargers will presumably be focused on stopping him.

How many resources they can devote to that may depend on Tee Higgins’s availability. Chase’s partner in savaging secondaries, Higgins, seems like a coin flip to go. He participated in an early practice. However, coach Zac Taylor noted it was merely a walkthrough, so it doesn’t move the needle regarding optimism. Thursday and Friday will be more telling.

If Higgins can’t go, Mike Gesicki becomes something akin to a WR2. He tallied nine targets last Thursday. While that only gave him two more than Tanner Hudson, who has much longer odds, Gesicki’s snap share was far superior (71% to 35%).

Also, Gesicki has surprisingly logged more run-blocking snaps than Hudson this year despite being panned for his blocking skills. PFF’s charting has Gesicki blocking in the run game 45 times to Hudson’s 20. That will potentially keep him on the field for goal-line formations and situations.

Counting on someone besides Chase and RB Chase Brown here will be tough. But the value may lie with Gesicki.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards Over 0.5 (+215) on Caesars

It’s obvious we want to target Cincinnati’s bottom-of-the-barrel rush defense. This unit has been flattened all year, and a Chargers team that prefers to lean into the run (although less so lately) should have success. Cincinnati ranks in the bottom four in EPA/play and Success Rate allowed on the ground.

For most of 2024, that would mean looking to J.K. Dobbins. Operating as the clear lead back since Gus Edwards got hurt, Dobbins is having a nice bounceback season.

However, Edwards did return last week. That relegated Kimani Vidal to the inactive list, resulting in a more even RB split. Edwards handled 10 carries to Dobbins’ 15, with Hassan Haskins sneaking in for two.

Interestingly, though, Edwards received more red-zone opportunities, four to Dobbins’ three. Edwards has always had a nose for the end zone, something the Harbaugh family knows well. Jim is as willing to lean into that as John was in Baltimore.

At far longer odds, I’m going to guess that’s where the value lies here.

What Are NFL Anytime Touchdown Picks?

If you are new to these wagers, they are a bet on a player to score a touchdown. Remember that quarterbacks must run (or receive) for a touchdown to cash the prop — passing touchdowns do not apply to ATTD odds at NFL betting sites.

Thus, these are primarily the domain of offensive skill players, although you’ll find long odds for defensive and special teams players to score. Some NFL betting apps may lump “special teams/defense” into one bet.
