NFL Anytime TD Scorers Picks & Predictions: Week 2 (2026)
The Anytime Touchdown streets were abuzz with activity in Week 1. Not only did three of my four main plays score, but they combined for seven touchdowns, with all three scoring multiple touchdowns. Even if you only played each player to score once as I laid out in last week's article, you profited 2.59U on just 3.5U total investment. We will take that ROI every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Speaking of Sunday, it is time to reveal my Anytime Touchdown picks for the Week 2 Sunday slate of NFL games.
Please note that these are not necessarily the players I believe are most likely to score on Sunday. That is where price factors into the equation. For example, I think Christian McCaffrey is very likely to score a touchdown against Miami. However, his cheapest current ATD price is -215. I'm not risking 2.15 units to make 1 unit, regardless of how much I like it. If it doesn't hit, I'd basically have to hit two other ATD bets to break even. Many of the league's best running backs will be absent from this column most weeks because of this dynamic.
The odds on these bets can vary a lot as game time approaches and injury information comes in. So, always shop for the best price possible. I used these specific bet sizes so that we only need to hit two out of five to stay in the black for the week. But adjust all wagers as you see fit. Here are some of my favorite Week 2 NFL Anytime Touchdown bets for Sunday’s main slate.

Week 2 NFL Anytime Touchdown Bets
(All bets one unit unless otherwise stated)
Christian Watson (WR – GB) (+190 at Fanatics) | *0.7 Units
Week 2 lines are always interesting to me because some feel like extreme overreactions based on one game, and others feel like the sportsbooks didn't even bother to watch Week 1. Christian Watson's Week 2 ATD price feels like a bit of both. Watson scored twice in last week's loss against a tough Minnesota Vikings defense. I don't know for sure whether Watson has officially entered the upper-echelon wide receiver conversation. However, he did score seven times in 11 games last year, including the playoffs. It is not as if he is allergic to the end zone. Getting him at +190 feels like a favorable price regardless of the matchup. At the same time, I think the books are giving the New York Jets defense too much credit based on last week's results.
The Jets held up well against Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans, but facing Green Bay's passing attack should present a much tougher challenge. Minkah Fitzpatrick is out for this game, which won't help matters for New York. Watson has also had historical success against defenses run by Aaron Glenn. He scored twice and racked up 374 receiving yards in his last five games when facing Detroit while Glenn was the team's defensive coordinator. Bear in mind that Watson failed to average 50 receiving yards per game in any of the three seasons in which these games took place. This is a great matchup for a rising wide receiver against a vulnerable pass defense.
Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) (+155 at FanDuel) | *0.8 Units
You better believe I am going back to the Justin Jefferson well after last week. Jefferson matched last season's touchdown total by finding the end zone twice against the Green Bay Packers. With Kyler Murray, Jordan Mason, and Jauan Jennings all out for this game, the Vikings’ touch distribution shrinks quite a bit. Yet Jefferson's Week 2 ATD price is very close to last week's +170. That does not seem like enough of an adjustment, especially when you factor in this week's opponent. This week's matchup is about as good as it gets for Jefferson against the Chicago Bears.
The Bears allowed Bryce Young to throw for 361 yards and three touchdowns last week. In his first three NFL seasons, Young threw for 49 touchdowns in 46 games while averaging 180 passing yards per contest. Sure, Young could take a step further in his development in 2026, but I am willing to bet that last week's blowup had more to do with Chicago's defense than the Carolina Panthers suddenly becoming an offensive juggernaut. Carson Wentz was solid in Murray's absence, and he can find mismatches in Dennis Allen's man-coverage scheme. Jefferson should be on the right side of many of those mismatches. I am betting he scores at least once on Sunday afternoon.
Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) (-105 at Caesars)
I believe two things can be true at the same time. The 2024 version of Saquon Barkley no longer exists, either in volume or efficiency. Also, his Week 2 ATD price is a considerable bargain. Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans on Sunday. The Titans are coming off a game in which they allowed the New York Jets to run for 152 yards and score two touchdowns. A third rushing score was taken off the board due to a penalty. New York held the ball for nearly 39 minutes in what became an easy victory. Philadelphia's offensive line should have little resistance replicating that effort.
We all know about the Tush Push and Jalen Hurts' propensity for vulturing touchdowns. In fairness, the quarterback's Anytime Touchdown price is better in this game than Barkley's. Still, I think Barkley's usage in scoring territory often goes overlooked. His 24 carries inside the opponents' 10-yard line last year tied for the ninth-most in the NFL and his 14 carries inside the five were two more than Hurts had last season. Barkley also remains an elite home run threat from anywhere on the field. The sportsbooks have entrenched the Eagles as heavy favorites in this game. Philadelphia is favored by as many as 7.5 points on the road. This feels like a game in which Barkley has multiple avenues to score, and he should see a sizable workload. I expect him to come through and find the end zone.
CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) (+120 at DraftKings)
After what he saw out of Washington cornerback Mike Sainristil last week, the Dallas Cowboys will be sure to test the third-year player in coverage. Sainristil looked lost on multiple completions to Dontayvion Wicks, including a 64-yard bomb and a nine-yard touchdown. Dallas has a pair of elite wide receivers who can win against the best corners in the league, much less one who played as poorly as Sainristil did in Week 1. They also have scoring threats at other positions, such as Javonte Williams and Jake Ferguson. That said, I believe CeeDee Lamb is most likely to take advantage of one-on-one matchups with Sainristil.
Lamb and George Pickens each had over 150 total receiving yards in their two matchups with Washington last season. Pickens racked up 160 yards on just 11 targets across last year's games, while Lamb had 156 total yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. While Pickens was more efficient, I prefer the volume that Lamb maintained in both outings. Dallas is more apt to move Lamb all over the formation, while Pickens generally stays on the outside. This strategy better sets up matchups for Lamb to exploit. I expect the Cowboys to employ this strategy to isolate Lamb on Sainristil. Pickens may score just as easily, but I prefer Lamb based on his more well-rounded receiving portfolio.
Longshot Anytime Touchdown Bet: Justice Hill (RB – BAL) (+500 at DraftKings) | *0.35 Units
The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. New Orleans is a plucky bunch, as they proved last week when they nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Detroit Lions. Baltimore enters this game as a heavy favorite but will likely be missing two key receivers. The team designated Zay Flowers as doubtful for Sunday's meeting, while rookie wideout Ja'Kobi Lane was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week. Not surprisingly, the sportsbooks have adjusted the Anytime Touchdown pricing of players like Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. However, I believe they might be sleeping a bit on running back Justice Hill.
Since the beginning of the 2023 season, Hill has scored 11 times in 42 games. That alone could be considered enough to bring this price below its current +500 threshold. Additionally, we should factor in that Hill figures to be more involved in the Ravens’ offense with Flowers and Lane being off the field. We know that Baltimore will rely on Derrick Henry to run the ball a lot, but he is not much of a receiving threat. They will need Hill's receiving prowess to provide Lamar Jackson with a safety valve underneath. Hill could be an ideal checkdown option in the red zone. Given these factors, I would play his Week 2 ATD prop at anything above +400.
