Anytime TD Scorer Picks
WR Diontae Johnson
Anytime Touchdown +225 (bet365)
I’m not overthinking this one.
Diontae Johnson is the most targeted player in the NFL to not catch a touchdown this season — this could be the week.
Johnson has seen five red-zone targets in his last two games, which is more than the rest of his teammates combined over that stretch.
The matchup against Miami’s defense is also a plus, as its secondary has allowed 10 passing touchdowns, seven of which have gone to wide receivers.

WR George Pickens
Anytime Touchdown +330 (FanDuel)
For a lot of the same reasons I’m taking Diontae Johnson, I feel the same way about George Pickens.
The wide receiver out of Georgie is playing over 80% of snaps and getting nearly identical targets as Chase Claypool. As an added bonus, he’s got a clear connection with Kenny Pickett – Pickens has 20 targets in three games with the rookie QB.
Pittsburgh’s scoring is like to come through the air tonight, as its run game has been dreadful this season.
WR Tyreek Hill
To Score 2 Touchdowns +550 (FanDuel)
One of the most explosive players in the NFL, Tyreek Hill has already logged a two-touchdown game this season. While this is a longshot, Hill sees so much volume that his odds should be closer to +300, not +550.
Hill, who leads the league in receiving yards entering Sunday, has double-digit targets in 4-of-6 games this season. With Tua Tagovailoa back under center, I’d rather bank on Hill going off instead of playing a Mike Gesicki or Cedrick Wilson ATD.
