The odds table above will by no means be exhaustive. We’ll highlight a couple of intriguing options, but we encourage you to do your own digging on players who interest you. When shopping for the best ATTD odds, use our prop betting tool to find the best prices for any player.
One final note: it isn’t advised to bet too many of these for a single game. There are only so many touchdowns to go around, so betting multiple players to score cuts against your own expected value.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed Over 0.5 (+220) on DraftKings
Shaheed is often thought of as a deep threat, but some might be surprised to learn that he actually leads the team in red-zone targets with five. He’s been running a more complete route tree this year and has emerged as a legit every-down threat.
And while his patented deep touchdowns have slowed down after a scorching first two weeks, they might be back on the menu here. The Chiefs have been spotty on their deep coverage thus far. The overall solid pass defense owes more to the team’s third-ranked pressure rate than the secondary.
K.C. has allowed the 11th-most yards per reception, and the DBs outside of Trent McDuffie have been suspect. With McDuffie likely to see as much time as possible on Chris Olave, that could open up more favorable matchups for Shaheed.
Further opening up touchdown equity for Shaheed will be the likely absence of Taysom Hill. The position-less wonder scored twice last week but went out injured. It was later reported he’d hurt a rib, which puts his availability here in doubt. Monitor that situation, though.
Chiefs TE Noah Gray Over 0.5 (+500) on DraftKings
The Chiefs just lost Patrick Mahomes’ go-to red-zone weapon (these days, anyway) with Rashee Rice sustaining a knee injury. Along with Hollywood Brown’s preseason injury, that leaves the Chiefs woefully thin at the position.
The solution will likely involve a heavy dose of multiple-TE sets, rather than simply elevating the next man up. Justin Watson is fine, if unexciting, but Mecole Hardman, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and especially Skyy Moore are decidedly untrustworthy.
K.C. already ranks well above average in usage of 12 and 13 personnel (two and three TEs, respectively). Those rates will jump even further.
Enter Noah Gray, a veteran who knows the offense and has contributed pretty regularly over the past few years. He’s actually already fourth on the team in targets, now third among healthy players.
His odds are very long, though, and the matchup could be especially favorable if LB Demario Davis is out injured again.

What Are NFL Anytime Touchdown Picks?
If you are new to these wagers, they’re bets on a player to score a touchdown. Keep in mind 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 as well. Some NFL betting apps may lump “special teams/defense” into one bet.
