Jets vs. Vikings TD Scorer Prop Bets
All props are from DraftKings Sportsbook.
New York Jets First TD Scorer: Breece Hall (+250)
The Jets failed to score a touchdown in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. However, New York's offense has played well outside of that one game, so bettors shouldn't panic. Meanwhile, Hall had the worst game of his career against the Broncos, totaling 18 scrimmage yards on 12 touches. Yet, the superstar running back led the Jets in offensive scores this year (three), scoring at least once in every game.
Furthermore, Hall had New York's first touchdown this season in Week 1 against a talented San Francisco 49ers offense. Meanwhile, the Vikings' defense has been outstanding over the first month, giving up only seven offensive touchdowns, with four coming last week. However, the lone touchdown they surrendered in Week 3 against the Houston Texans was to Cam Akers. After a poor Week 4 performance, expect Hall to bounce back Sunday.
Minnesota Vikings First TD Scorer: Justin Jefferson (+270)
While many were worried about Jefferson with Sam Darnold under center, the superstar wide receiver has four receiving touchdowns over the first four games. He led the NFL with four receiving touchdowns over the first month, totaling more than Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb combined. The former LSU star has found the end zone once in every contest.
More importantly, Jefferson has the Vikings' first touchdown in two of the past three contests. Meanwhile, the Jets have surrendered only five total offensive touchdowns this year. However, they have faced three awful offenses over the past three weeks, giving up 10 points per game. A wide receiver has scored four of the five touchdowns against New York this season. Jefferson should keep his touchdown streak alive this week.
Anytime TD Scorer: Jordan Addison (+300)
Unfortunately, Addison has missed significant time this season because of injury. The second-year receiver played half of the snaps in Week 1 before suffering an ankle injury against the New York Giants. The star receiver missed the next two games because of the injury. However, he was outstanding in his return to the lineup in Week 4.
Addison only had four touches in the win over the Green Bay Packers. However, he had 79 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, scoring on the ground and through the air. Meanwhile, a wide receiver has scored 80% of the touchdowns against the Jets this season. Last week, the Denver Broncos had only 60 passing yards. Yet, Courtland Sutton scored the only touchdown for either team.
Anytime TD Scorer: Tyler Conklin (+400)
The last time Conklin scored a touchdown was during the 2022 season, totaling three on 87 targets. While he didn't find the end zone in 2023 or over the first month this year, don't be surprised if that changes Sunday morning. The veteran tight end has earned a larger target share lately, which should lead to more touchdown opportunities.
After totaling four targets over the first two weeks, Conklin has averaged seven per game over the past two weeks, totaling six or more in both contests. Meanwhile, Minnesota has surrendered two receiving touchdowns to tight ends this year, the most in the NFL. Last week, Tucker Kraft had six receptions on nine targets for 53 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Vikings.
