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.
Texans WR Nico Collins Over 0.5 (+125) on DraftKings
Nico Collins is set to return from injury after an extended absence. The stalwart WR no longer has Stefon Diggs to compete with for targets in the red zone, as the former superstar is out for the year.
Instead, Tank Dell has taken the mantle as WR1, but things have gone poorly there. Whereas Collins posted a massive 12.4 yards per target this year, Dell is barely at half of that number (7). Given that he was near double digits last season, it seems he hasn’t fully regained his old burst after sustaining an injury.
Overall, it’s safe to say C.J. Stroud will be happy to have Collins back. The big man should receive his requisite attention in the red zone and face a beatable Dallas secondary.
The only real question here is whether that role is enough to give him the nod in the value department when Joe Mixon runs over the league and gets to attack one of the worst run defenses. Since his price is so short, I will say Collins is the play.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Over 0.5 (+230) on DraftKings
As a good friend of mine likes to say, sometimes the cap is simple. Dallas’ best player is near +200 odds to score, so that’s the pick.
Am I concerned that Dallas won’t be able to score at all? Absolutely. This offense was shockingly awful last week without Dak Prescott. The passing attack was possibly the most horizontal I’ve ever witnessed. Cooper Rush refused to attack downfield and got nothing done on the few occasions he did. Seemingly, every completion was less than 3 yards past the line of scrimmage.
Good luck with that strategy against a Houston defense that gave serious issues to possibly the best offense in the league last week.
Still, Lamb remains the only source of any real threat for Dallas’ offense. He garnered 10 targets last week (with a brutal 21 yards to show), double that of anyone else. The Cowboys’ offensive brain trust showed a willingness to manufacture touches for him in rushes and with the screen game.
If anyone with a star on his helmet finds the end zone, there’s a strong chance it’s Lamb.

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.
