NFL Week 16 is here and we’ve got several picks for anytime touchdown scorers. As we focus on this weekend’s action, who are our experts going with as anytime touchdown scorers? We’ll discuss their guide to betting on NFL anytime touchdown scorers!
Colts-Titans Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet for Week 16
Picks by Danny Burke
Jonathan Taylor returns to our list of anytime touchdown scorers, and for good reason. The last time we backed him, he delivered, and we’re banking on more of the same this week.
Taylor faces a Titans run defense allowing just 4.1 yards per carry, but conceding one rushing touchdown per game. While Anthony Richardson could poach a score on the ground, Taylor’s versatility as a -catcher also comes into play – his most recent touchdown came through the air.
The Titans’ offensive struggles continue to create opportunities for opponents. Even with a quarterback change from Will Levis to Mason Rudolph, it’s unlikely Tennessee’s offense will sustain drives effectively. While their defense occasionally flashes competence, the Colts’ offense should generate multiple scoring chances, giving their star playmaker the opportunity to find the end zone.
Stokastic’s NFL DFS projections back Taylor heavily this week, projecting 24 carries for over 103 yards. If he sees that kind of workload, his chances of scoring are high.

49ers-Dolphins Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet for Week 16
Despite coming up short in the touchdown department last week, San Francisco’s offense should bounce back in Week 16, providing plenty of opportunities for their top red-zone weapon.
George Kittle has been the 49ers’ go-to target inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, with 18 red-zone targets resulting in 16 receptions for 113 yards and eight touchdowns.The next closest player, Jauan Jennings, has only 14 targets and five touchdowns in similar situations.
The Miami Dolphins have been an unstable bunch in many facets this season. Against tight ends, that volatility holds true. To begin the year they completely contained them, but during their last seven games they’ve allowed three touchdowns to that position group.
That may not seem like much, but when one of the league’s most dominant tight ends is on the field it’s going to raise some eyebrows. Kittle’s reliability in the red zone makes him a solid option to score a touchdown in Week 16.

Raiders-Jaguars Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bet for Week 16
Our next pick takes us to another tight end – rookie sensation Brock Bowers, who’s set up for a great scoring opportunity this week in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars’ defense has been a disaster this season, ranking dead last in dropback EPA per play and allowing the most ing touchdowns per game (1.9).
Tight ends, in particular, have thrived against this unit, with Jacksonville surrendering seven touchdowns to the position this season.
Bowers leads his team in red-zone targets with 13, yet he’s still searching for his first red-zone touchdown. Despite this anomaly, he’s managed to score four touchdowns overall this season.
The Raiders’ quarterback situation is far from ideal, but given the matchup I still expect them to move the ball and find their best player where it matters most.
