NFL Anytime Touchdown Predictions for Week 3: See the Best Picks for TD Props

Before you go and start betting NFL touchdown props for Week 3, you need to know this is the most popular prop being bet at all sportsbooks. This means there’s plenty of attention being given to the NFL TD betting markets by each sportsbook. It’s also an NFL prop that you cannot bet both sides of, meaning it’s a little harder to find good value.

I have gone through all of the NFL anytime TD props for Week 3 of the 2025-26 NFL season – I do not bet first touchdown props, as the outcomes are too volatile – and have pulled out my favorite touchdown picks. On top of that, I have done the line shopping for you, presenting the best TD odds for each prediction, and also provided my analysis and reasoning for each below!

Best NFL TD Scorer Picks for Week 3

I currently have five players I am betting to score a touchdown in Week 3, but will be adding some more ahead of Sunday. All of the TD picks above are half-unit bets, except for James Cook. I am actually laying 1.5 units on Cook to score a touchdown on TNF, the first time I am risking more than a unit this season.

If you are looking to bet more than just touchdown props in Week 3, check out our NFL props tool, where you’ll find the best lines for all passing, rushing, and receiving props as well.

I went 6-6 on my TD picks last week, and lost 0.91 units, thanks to three of my four full-unit bets missing – how do the Ravens put up 40+ points and Derrick Henry doesn’t score a single touchdown?!? I’m still up 0.28 units after two weeks, though.

If you don’t have a ton of experience with these props, check out our guide to NFL TD props to learn everything you’ll need to start betting them like a pro!

James Cook Anytime TD Pick

The Dolphins defense has posted some horrific numbers through the first two weeks of the season, and (to our knowledge) they have yet to play an offensive juggernaut like the Bills yet – no slight on the Colts, who have put together some good offensive numbers, but not ready to say they’re on the same level as Buffalo yet.

Miami is allowing a league-worst 51.9% conversion rate on third downs and a 60% TD rate on red zone drives – the latter isn’t horrific in a small sample size, but it’s far from good. They’re allowing their opponents to slowly march the ball down the field and score. While they have only given up the second-most points so far, they’re allowing 3.47 points per drive (3.16 is second-worst), average drives of 4 minutes and 15 seconds (3:37 is next worst), and a score on 75.6% of their opponents’ drives (55.6% is next worst).

They have forced just one three-and-out this season. Allow me to remind you one of their two games came at home against a Patriots team that only managed 13 points against the Raiders in Week 1.

All that is to say, James Cook should not have a big problem finding the endzone in Week 3. Cook has seen 11, third-most in the NFL, of Buffalo’s 34 total red zone looks and three of nine goal line looks across two games. He has three total touchdowns this season and has at least one in both games. He has scored a touchdown in each of his last six regular season games, and nine of the last ten.

This is why I’m confident enough to lay 1.5 units. I think he should be closer to -225 odds in this one.

Romeo Doubs Anytime TD Pick

Of all the NFL touchdown predictions I am providing for Week 3, this is the one I am least confident in. That doesn’t mean I don’t like it, or felt forced into it – I still bet it myself. It’s just the lowest confidence of the bunch.

The reason for that is because of how much Josh Jacobs dominates Green Bay’s red zone looks – he has seen 10 of 23 through two games. However, Cleveland is pretty good against the run, only allowing 2.07 yards per attempt, which is the lowest in the NFL. It’s also worth noting they just played the Ravens in Week 2 and held Derrick Henry without a TD.

I do think the Packers are going to score some touchdowns in this game, though, and if they do shy away from trying to powering the ball into the endzone – or Cleveland just doesn’t allow it – I like Romeo Doubs to be the receiver they look to.

Doubs has seen three red zone looks and one goal line look, while playing 72.4% of Green Bay’s offensive snaps, which is by far the highest of any Packers receiver – the next highest is Golden at 54.3%. He’s second on the team in targets per game and is targeted on 20% of the snaps he’s on the field for. I like Doubs to find the endzone again in Week 3 after scoring his first TD of the season last week.

Nico Collins Anytime TD Pick

The Houston Texans have only scored two total touchdowns this season, but Nico Collins has one of them. The big wide receiver leads the team in red zone looks with four (44.4% of team’s total) and goal line looks with two (66.6%).

With the Texans desperately needing a win to avoid an 0-3 start, I think they’ll look to Collins even more than they already have. Collins has been the target on 32.6% of CJ Stroud’s passing attempts.

I know Jacksonville’s defensive numbers look pretty good on paper, but I don’t think they’re that good. They just played arguably the worst offense in the league in Week 1, the Carolina Panthers. The Jaguars gave up more than 300 yards through the air to the Bengals, who had their backup QB in for most of the game, and they were torched by Ja’Marr Chase for 165 yards and a touchdown.

I would be more concerned if Jacksonville were applying good pressure on opposing QBs so far this season, as not being able to protect Stroud seems to be the root of their problems, but they only generate pressure on 20.2% of their opponents’ passing snaps, which is pretty average.

By no means am I suggesting Nico Collins and Ja’Marr Chase are on the same level. I just think Collins is the weapon on the Texans offense that will see the most volume, and Houston likes targeting him in the red zone.

Tyler Allgeier Anytime TD Pick

By all means, Bijan Robinson is the leader of the Falcons backfield – his odds to score a touchdown were just too short for me. However, Tyler Allgeier is still seeing an average of 13.5 scrimmage touches per game this season, and his low is ten in Week 1. He is seeing 38.8% of the team’s total rushing attempts through two weeks.

He has also been used in the red zone and goal line, seeing six red zone looks, which is four fewer than Bijan, and two goal line looks, which is the same as Bijan.

The Falcons are preparing to take on a Panthers defense that’s allowing 5.2 rushing yards per attempt, which is sixth-worst in the league. Carolina’s defense has tightened up a bit in the red zone, only allowing a touchdown on 44% of their opponents’ red zone drives, but I think that’s more about the Jaguars and Cardinals offenses they have seen so far.

I like Atlanta to play most of this game with a lead, which I think will only add to Allgeier’s opportunities.

Jaylen Warren Anytime TD Pick

After taking a bit of a backseat to Kenneth Gainwell in Week 1, where he only played 45% of Pittsburgh’s snaps, Jaylen Warren flipped that split around and saw 58% of their snaps in Week 2. But it’s also clear there’s far more of an effort to get Warren the ball when he is on the field versus Gainwell. Warren has accounted for 61% of their rushing attempts and is seeing 15.5 looks per game.

Warren has also been the guy for the Steelers in the red zone. The RB has seen eight of their 13 red zone looks and three of their seven goal line looks. It has only resulted in one touchdown so far this season, but I think he scores another TD in Week 3.

The Patriots defense has not seen any big improvement under new head coach Mike Vrabel yet either. They’re allowing a touchdown on 66.7% of their opponents’ red zone drives, and 6.55 total net yards per play, which is second-worst in the league.

I don’t think Aaron Rodgers can really push the ball down the field too much at his age, and think we’ll see Warren targeted pretty heavily in the passing game again this week.

This is also a great price on Warren, who I was seeing as short as -110 at the time of writing this.
