Anytime TD Scorer: Amon-Ra St. Brown (+100)
St. Brown didn't score in the Lions' playoff win over the Rams. However, he dominated the game, totaling seven receptions on nine targets for 110 receiving yards. His performance wasn't surprising, as the star wide receiver led the team in every receiving category in 2023. Furthermore, St. Brown's 10 receiving touchdowns were the fourth-most in the NFL during the regular season and the 12th-most in franchise history.
Los Angeles lost several players on defense over the past few months with Aaron Donald retiring after a Hall of Fame career. Meanwhile, the Rams will be without multiple starting cornerbacks for this game, including Darious Williams, Derion Kendrick, and Tre Tomlinson. Last year, Los Angeles surrendered 15 receiving touchdowns to wide receivers, around the league average. With multiple players in the secondary missing, the Rams will have a suspect pass defense to start the season.
Anytime TD Scorer: Sam LaPorta (+135)
Many were surprised to see LaPorta have an elite rookie season in 2023. The former Iowa star had 10 receiving touchdowns, the fourth-most in the NFL during the regular season and the 12th-most in franchise history. Furthermore, he had four more receiving scores than any other tight end in the league, including five more than Travis Kelce. More importantly, LaPorta scored in the playoff matchup against the Rams.
While some believe the second-year player will have touchdown regression in 2024, don't bet on it happening in Week 1. Los Angeles' secondary has been obliterated by injuries. Meanwhile, they surrendered eight receiving touchdowns to tight ends last season, the second-most in the NFL. LaPorta had only three receptions in the playoff matchup, as he was coming off an injury he suffered the week before. Expect the young star to dominate on Sunday night.
