NFL Week 2 Anytime TD Scorers: Garrett Wilson, DK Metcalf, Jordan Mason

by |

Last week I kicked off the 2024 NFL season by going 5-7 with my Anytime Touchdown (ATD) bets. That included a pair of First Touchdown (FTD) hits. I can say with relative certainty that in years past, that would have netted a small profit. The result this time around, however, was -0.16 units.

Most of the sportsbooks have adjusted the pricing of the ATD market compared to years past. This is why I prefer to keep my exposure to ATD and FTD bets relatively low. The FTD bets in particular are fun to use in conjunction with profit boosts and risk-free bets. But for this column, I am tracking these using bet sizes of 0.4 units on ATD and 0.1 units on FTD. Use your discretion and adjust as you see fit. We compare anytime touchdown stats to prop bet odds and projections to help identify this week's best bets.

Jets vs. Titans

Garrett Wilson

Garrett Wilson was tied for sixth in the NFL with 11 Week 1 targets. Four of those targets came in the first quarter. The New York Jets lack playmakers outside of Wilson and running back Breece Hall, so Wilson should get plenty of looks again in Week 2. Tennessee's defense was stingy last week but was not fully tested against a rookie quarterback in Caleb Williams. The Titans allowed the third-most receptions to opposing wide receivers last year. This feels like a good spot for Garrett Wilson to have a large number of catches and hopefully find the end zone.

Seahawks vs. Patriots

DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf had a quiet game in Seattle's Week 1 victory. Metcalf finished the game with just four targets. Since 2021, there were only four other games in which Metcalf was targeted fewer than five times. In the games immediately following those outings, Metcalf was targeted 8, 10, 9, and 12 times. I expect similar usage on Sunday when the Seahawks face the New England Patriots. Second-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez is one of the few cornerbacks in the NFL who has the physical tools to potentially keep up with Metcalf. I still trust Metcalf's experience as well as his connection with Geno Smith. Metcalf has seven touchdowns in 15 career games with Smith under center. We are getting an excellent price on Metcalf to score given these factors.

49ers vs. Vikings

Jordan Mason

My first real chalky ATD bet for Week 2 is Jordan Mason of the San Francisco 49ers. Mason filled in for Christian McCaffrey last week and more than held his own. The third-year pro ran for 147 yards and a touchdown in San Francisco's victory over the New York Jets. He should continue to be featured this week, as McCaffrey has once again been ruled out. The Minnesota Vikings looked good defensively last week, but they faced one the worst offenses in the NFL when they easily handled the New York Giants. San Francisco will pose a much bigger threat. McCaffrey scored twice when these teams met a year ago, and I am picking Jordan Mason to score on Sunday.
