NFL Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets for Week 2: Predictions for TD Props

• NFL touchdown props are by far the most popular prop among public bettors
• Researching and analyzing all of the NFL TD odds can be very time-consuming; thankfully, I do this for a living
• See the players I am predicting will score a touchdown in Week 2 of the 2025-26 NFL season below

Just like that, Week 2 is upon us! I’m back after researching all the NFL TD odds and pertinent team and player data with more touchdown predictions for the second week of the 2025-26 NFL season.

I have tried to offer my favorite anytime touchdown bet for as many games as I could, but there are a few matchups where I just couldn’t find value. But there are still plenty of players I am predicting will score a touchdown in Week 2, which you can find below!

Best NFL TD Scorer Picks for Week 2

I currently have eight players I am betting to score a touchdown in Week 2, but will be adding a couple more tonight. So, be sure to check back ahead of Sunday. All of the above bets are half-unit risks, except for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chase Brown, and Derrick Henry. Each of those three are full-unit wagers.

In order to see the sportsbook with the best odds for each of the picks above, scroll down. You’ll also see my analysis for each pick.

I technically went 4-6 on my picks last week, winning 0.69 units thanks to hitting on all my full-unit bets as well as Jacory Croskey-Merritt at +330 odds. However, I was issued a refund for Xavier Worthy since he left the game so early, meaning I was actually +1.19 units – hopefully you all got your refund too!

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

As long as sportsbooks are going to offer odds longer than +200 on Jacory Croskey-Merritt to score a touchdown, I am going to bet it – barring injury. While he has not completely seized the Commanders’ backfield yet, “Bill” is in the process of doing so, and has already carved out a significant role.

JCM only played 32.9% of Washington’s offensive snaps in Week 1, but he led all running backs in rushing attempts – he was given 10 carries with the next-high being Austin Ekeler with six – and recorded more touches than any Commander not named Jayden Daniels. Croskey-Merritt also saw one target in the game, which means he was given a “look” on 11 of the 23 snaps he played.

Knowing what the rookie did with those touches, rushing for 82 yards (8.2 YPC) and a touchdown, I am a firm believer his role will continue to grow. But even if he continues to hover around the same number of snaps, there is a clear effort on Kliff Kingsbury’s part to get him the ball when he is on the field.

While there is certainly some concern in betting a Commander to score a touchdown against a Packers defense that held the Lions to just over 2 yards per carry and just one touchdown last week, I am chalking a fair bit of that blame up to new Detroit OC John Morton not being Ben Johnson. I also believe Daniels’ athleticism, and threat as a runner himself, will help the Washington offense find some space on the ground.

Chase Brown

I was shocked to find Chase Brown as long as -130 to score a touchdown in Week 2. Brown was a workhorse in Week 1, seeing 21 of the 23 rushing attempts for Cincinnati (Joe Burrow recorded the other two) and also caught two of three targets. Those numbers are good for 62% of Cincinnati’s total touches on just 75% of their offensive snaps.

Brown also saw five of the eight red zone looks, and two of the four goal line touches. Though he did not total many yards, he did manage to find the endzone

I’m not ready to give much credit to the Jacksonville defense for shutting down Bryce Young and the Panthers offense. That was a very common feat last season. While Burrow and his receivers post their usual slow start to the season, I like Cincinnati to continue leaning on Brown.

Travis Etienne

I am a man who believes in second chances, and that’s what I’m granting Travis Etienne one week after he let me down. I am willing to do so because the opportunities were certainly there.

Etienne played 62% of Jacksonville’s offensive snaps, and now Tank Bigsby’s 21% share is up for grabs in Week 2 and beyond as well, and he received 37.3% of their total offensive touches. On top of that, he saw four of the team’s 10 red zone looks, but the Jaguars never recorded any goal line snaps.

The Bengals defense Etienne will see on Sunday gave up a touchdown on two of Cleveland’s three red zone drives. While they were pretty good against the run, only allowing 2.04 yards per rushing attempt, I’m left feeling that might say more about the Browns offense than the Bengals defense. But even if Cincinnati turns out to be strong against the run, Etienne caught three balls in Week 1, and I believe the Bengals offense won’t allow Jacksonville to get into a positive game script the same way Carolina did last week.

I don’t often pick two TD scorers from the same game, but I like points to be scored by both sides in this one.

De’Von Achane

Had Miami’s offense not looked so dreadful last week, I would likely be betting another full unit on De’Von Achane to score a touchdown this week – but I may not be getting the +100 odds available at ESPN Bet if that were the case as well.

Achane saw 32.3% of the Dolphins’ touches last week on 71.7% of the snaps, and posted 35.5% of their total yards from scrimmage. The raw number wasn’t very big at just 75, but he was quite effective with his touches. Achane averaged eight yards per carry and nearly seven yards per reception, while scoring Miami’s lone touchdown of the game.

I don’t think the Colts defense is anything great, but I do think these Week 1 offensive struggles might be a bit of a norm for the Dolphins. Last year, they were pretty bad for the first three quarters of their Week 1 matchup against a really bad Jaguars defense.

The good news is they’ll play a Patriots defense in Week 2 who haven’t seemed to have gotten that Mike Vrabel defensive bump yet. New England gave up touchdowns on both of the Raiders’ red zone drives, as well as 6.27 yards per play, which is good for sixth-worst in the league. A lot of their struggles came defending the pass, as they only allowed 2.33 yards per rushing attempt, but the Dolphins use Achane as a pass-catcher all the time – his TD last week came on an 11-yard reception.

• Pick: De’Von Achane Anytime TD (+100 at ESPN Bet)

Derrick Henry

I don’t know who was responsible for setting anytime TD odds at ESPN Bet this week, but I hope they’re here to stay. Derrick Henry’s -170 odds to score a TD at ESPN Bet are 30 cents better than any other sportsbook (at the time of writing this), and upwards of 45 cents better than some.

Henry scored two touchdowns last week while rushing for 169 yards on just 18 carries – he added another 13 yards on his lone reception of the game. He looks just as good as ever. What’s even more impressive about his two touchdowns is that he did not see a single red zone look in the game. Baltimore only snapped the ball three times in the red zone.

The Ravens RB had five rushes of 10+ yards and three of 20+ last week. The explosion is still there and Baltimore seems happy to lean on him this season, as he accounted for 44.2% of their touches on just 56.9% of their snaps.

He’ll now see a Cleveland defense in Week 2, who he totaled 238 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns against across their two games last season. I know the Browns just limited Chase Brown to 43 yards on 21 carries, but there is a big difference between Brown and Henry.

Javonte Williams

Again, ESPN Bet is offering TD odds that are as much as 55 cents better than others when it comes to a Javonte Williams anytime touchdown, and I’m thrilled to take what they’re offering.

While many of us thought the Dallas backfield was wide open and that they wouldn’t run the ball much anyways, Brian Schottenheimer showed us that he was simply calling Mike McCarthy’s offense the last two years, and that he subscribes to his father’s “Marty Ball.”

The Cowboys ran the ball very successfully against what was a good Eagles run defense last season, averaging 5.4 yards per attempt. It’s uncertain whether they would have enjoyed that same success if Jalen Carter had actually played, but we should get another opportunity to find out later this season. The other surprising part was how much of a stranglehold Williams had on the backfield.

The first-year Cowboys saw 39.5% of their total touches while playing 77% of their offensive snaps. Williams received three of the team’s six red zone looks and both of their goal line looks, while scoring two touchdowns.

Dallas takes on a Giants defense this week that gave up 220 rushing yards in Week 1, at an average of 6.9 yards per attempt. They allowed a touchdown on three of Washington’s four red zone drives. I like Schottenheimer to continue with his “Marty Ball” philosophy, especially to avoid the trouble New York’s talented pass-rushers could cause this week.

Justin Fields

I swear this post was not intended to be one big promo for ESPN Bet. They have just pretty consistently been at least 10-15 cents off the rest of the market, as is the case with a Justin Fields anytime touchdown.

Fields led the Jets to 394 yards and 32 points against what some were calling a “great” Steelers defense last week. Breece Hall is the clear lead runner for the team (for now), as he carried the ball 19 times and totaled 38.2% of the Jets’ touches in the game. However, Fields is the clear #1 when it comes to the red zone.

The Jets QB saw four of their nine red zone looks and two of their three goal line looks in Week 1. He even accounted for 21.8% of the team’s total touches in the game.

We just saw the Bills give up a league-worst 238 yards on the ground and 8.64 net yards per play – the worst by nearly two yards per play. I am by no means comparing the Jets offense to the Ravens, but I do like New York to find themselves in the red zone at least once, and I think it will be Fields who crosses the goal line.

• Pick: Justin Fields Anytime TD (+175 at ESPN Bet)

JK Dobbins

To be clear, I am firmly in the camp of RJ Harvey taking over this Broncos backfield pretty soon. However, he started the season as the clear #2 to JK Dobbins, who played 52.6% of Denver’s offensive snaps, and handled 32.7% of their total touches.

Dobbins only averaged 3.94 yards per rushing attempt, but he clearly has Sean Payton’s trust. That trust also awarded him two of their five red zone looks, one of which he took 19 yards for a touchdown.

The Broncos are preparing to play a Colts defense that allowed 6.5 yards per rushing attempt in Week 1, the third-worst mark in the league, and allowed a touchdown on their opponent’s only red zone drive.

After Bo Nix was extremely shaky last week, I suspect Payton will lean on the ground game a little more early on to get his offense in a groove. Harvey might see a bigger share of the carries this week, but I still like Dobbins to get his too.
