As expected, scoring was down in Week 2 and touchdown scorers weren't as predictable as they were in a record-setting opening week. Six teams didn't reach the end zone at all.
But there were still some notable players who showed up for bettors. Jaxon Smith-Njigba went for three touchdowns in Seattle's win over the Cardinals. Ja'Marr Chase scored twice in a highlight-filled with over the Texans. And TreVeyon Henderson reached the end zone in his return to the Patriots lineup.
Can any of those put on a repeat performance in Week 3? These are my anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Sunday.
Chargers at Bills
Dalton Kincaid (+200)
If you want something closer to a sure bet, go with Josh Allen (-150), who already has four rushing touchdowns on the season. But if you want a little
more bang for your buck, Kincaid has been Allen's favorite target, and fellow tight end Trey McBride torched these Chargers in Week 1.
Chiefs at Dolphins
Emmett Johnson (+320)
Two things are working in Johnson's favor. With the Dolphins as bad as they are, this game has blowout potential written all over it, which could lead to more carries for the Chiefs backup. But also, Andy Reid wants to reduce Kenneth Walker's workload anyway.
Patriots at Jaguars
Bhayshul Tuten (+150)
Tuten is off to a solid start to the season, but more importantly, his workload appears to be more consistent than the running backs in a committee on the other side.
Jets at Lions
Garrett Wilson (+195)
Wilson is seeing consistent targets in the passing game, and this is fantastic matchup against a Lions secondary that has been torched this year.
Bengals at Steelers
Tee Higgins (+170)
Ja'Marr Chase (+115) had all the highlights in Cincinnati's win over Houston, but Higgins quietly had the most productive day with five catches for 95 yards on 10 targets. Expect him to find one in the end zone soon.
Panthers at Browns
Darren Waller (+320)
Waller hasn't seen a ton of action this year, but when he hit the field last week, all he did was score two touchdowns. Cleveland is good matchup for him to score his third on the year.
Texans at Colts
David Montgomery (-105)
Houston's struggles in the run game probably brought this price down more than it should be, and that's great for bettors because the Colts have been torched by the run.
Titans at Giants
Tony Pollard (+150)
A depressing game to chose from but I'll go Pollard. The Giants' struggles against the run resurfaced in a big way last week.
Seahawks at Commanders
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+100)
Did you see what CeeDee Lamb did to Washington last week? They don't have anyone who can guard JSN.
Vikings at Buccaneers
Justin Jefferson (+150)
I also considered Bucky Irving (+130), but the Vikings haven't allowed a touchdown to running backs yet, so give me Jettas to catch another spark in Kyler Murray's return.
Cardinals at 49ers
Mike Evans (+140)
The Cards gave up 82 yards and a touchdown to Ladd McConkey in Week 1, and 155 yards and three touchdowns to JSN last week. Yeah, I feel good about Evans scoring at least once.
Ravens vs. Cowboys
Mark Andrews (+115)
With Zay Flowers out, Andrews was Lamar Jackson's second-favorite target behind Rashod Bateman last week. After seeing his former backup Isaiah Likely torch the Cowboys in Week 1, he'll want to put on a show against them too.
Raiders at Saints
Chris Olave (+145)
Ride the hot hand until it cools off. And Olave is on fire with 18 catches on 23 targets this year, including his first touchdown last week.
Rams at Broncos (Sunday Night Football)
Kyren Williams (-130)
The Broncos were better against the run last week than in Week 1 when Kenneth Walker ran wild on them, but Bhayshul Tuten still went for 65 yards and a touchdown. Williams and the Rams rushing attack will be much tougher to stop.
