NFL preseason Week 3 wraps up Friday night with five games on the board, and Polymarket has anytime touchdown scorer and player prop markets open for every one of them.

Kickoffs run from Washington-Baltimore at 6 PM ET through Cincinnati-Philadelphia at 8 PM ET, and with roster cuts looming on August 30, nearly every name on these boards is fighting for a spot rather than padding a stat line.

ACTION pulled the top anytime touchdown scorer prices from all five matchups below, along with a full breakdown of the rushing, passing, and receiving props tied to each game.

Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for NFL Preseason Week 3

Since preseason snap counts get split so many ways, we're using each game's top two anytime touchdown scorer prices by implied probability as the best picks on the board rather than chasing a single flagship trade.

A couple of these came down to razor-thin margins between backfield and receiver options fighting for the same touches, so we broke ties using the player's volume prop (rushing or receiving yards) as the tiebreaker.

Washington Commanders vs. Baltimore Ravens

  • Kaytron Allen (Washington, 1+: 37¢, No 92%): The rookie sixth-round back out of Penn State is the highest-priced anytime touchdown scorer on this entire slate, and it lines up with his role, he's also priced at 43¢ to clear 50+ rushing yards, the clearest sign of a workload back on this Commanders roster bubble.
  • LaJohntay Wester (Baltimore, 1+: 30¢, No 98%): Wester is priced ahead of every other Ravens skill player on the board, and with a 60¢ price to clear 25+ receiving yards, the market sees him getting real target volume in a game where final roster spots are on the line.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins

  • Cash Jones (Atlanta, 1+: 43¢, No 58%): Jones is the clear top touchdown price in this game, backed up by a 45¢ price to clear 50+ rushing yards, suggesting the market expects him to see the bulk of Atlanta's carries in a preseason finale.
  • Vinny Anthony II (Miami, 1+: 35¢, No 98%): Anthony edges out Kevin Coleman Jr. for the second spot here, and the two Dolphins receivers are priced identically at 60¢ for 25+ receiving yards, so this touchdown price is really a bet on which one finds the end zone first.

New York Giants vs. New York Jets

  • Eric Gray (NY Jets, 1+: 33¢, No 98%): Gray is tied for the top touchdown price in this game, and his 63¢ price to clear 25+ rushing yards is the strongest rushing signal anywhere on this Jets board, pointing to a real workload role.
  • Chip Trayanum (NY Jets, 1+: 33¢, No 98%): Trayanum shares the top touchdown price with Gray, giving the Jets backfield both spots in a game where Odell Beckham Jr. sits third at 29¢.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

  • J'Mari Taylor (Jacksonville, 1+: 40¢, No 97%): Taylor is the clear top price on this board, and a 60¢ price to clear 25+ rushing yards backs up the read that he's in line for a real workload against Tampa Bay's backups.
  • Josh Cameron (Jacksonville, 1+: 34¢, No 98%): Cameron edges Tampa Bay's Ted Hurst for the second spot, both tied at 34¢ on the touchdown market, but Cameron's 55¢ price to clear 25+ receiving yards gives him the slightly stronger target-share signal.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Philadelphia Eagles

  • Carson Steele (Philadelphia, 1+: 40¢, No 95%): Steele is the top touchdown price on this entire slate's Eagles side, and it's backed by a strong 73¢ price to clear 25+ rushing yards, the highest rushing-yards price of any player covered here.
  • Colbie Young (Cincinnati, 1+: 34¢, No 98%): Young tops Cincinnati's touchdown board, and an 80¢ price to clear 25+ receiving yards suggests he's set up to see plenty of targets in a game the Bengals will want their remaining roster hopefuls to flash in.

Washington Commanders vs. Baltimore Ravens: Best NFL Prop Bets – More Markets

Beyond the anytime touchdown scorer market above, Washington and Baltimore's backups have a full slate of rushing, passing, and receiving props open on Polymarket.

Rushing Yards

Kaytron Allen is the only rushing yards contract active on this board, and the market is bullish on his workload as a rookie trying to lock down a roster spot.

  • Kaytron Allen (Rushing 50+: 43¢, No 74%): A near coin-flip price on 50+ rushing yards for a sixth-round pick says the Commanders are planning to feed him touches early to get a long look before cuts.

Passing Yards

All three quarterbacks expected to see snaps in this one carry meaningful passing yardage prices, with Washington's Sam Hartman the highest of the group.

  • Sam Hartman (Passing 75+: 70¢, No 62%): Hartman is priced as the most likely of the three to clear 75+ yards, consistent with a backup quarterback getting extended run to make his case for a roster spot.
  • Athan Kaliakmanis (Passing 125+: 55¢, No 76%): Kaliakmanis is priced above a coin flip to clear the tougher 125+ threshold, suggesting Baltimore plans to let him throw the ball down the field.
  • Joe Fagnano (Passing 125+: 59¢, No 61%): Fagnano's price sits just above Kaliakmanis's on the same threshold, hinting at a competitive snap split between Baltimore's two backup arms.

Receiving Yards

Five pass catchers have active receiving yards markets in this game, led by a trio of Washington and Baltimore receivers all bunched near 60¢.

  • Jaylin Lane (Receiving 25+: 45¢, No 86%): Lane's price trails the rest of this group, pointing to a smaller target share on the Commanders side.
  • Elijah Sarratt (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 69%): Sarratt is priced as a coin flip or better to clear 25+ yards, the top price among Baltimore's receivers here.
  • Antonio Williams (Receiving 25+: 32¢, No 72%): Williams is the lowest-priced target on this board, suggesting a smaller role in Washington's passing attack tonight.
  • Ja'Kobi Lane (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 69%): Lane matches Sarratt's price, giving Washington a second receiver the market likes for real volume.
  • LaJohntay Wester (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 67%): Wester rounds out the group at the same 60¢ price, and it lines up with his standing as the top-priced Baltimore anytime touchdown scorer above.

Passing Touchdowns

The passing touchdown board mirrors the passing yards market closely, with Baltimore's Joe Fagnano the clear favorite.

  • Athan Kaliakmanis (Passing TD 1+: 47¢, No 85%): Kaliakmanis sits just under a coin flip here, a notch behind his backfield mate on the depth chart.
  • Joe Fagnano (Passing TD 1+: 60¢, No 68%): Fagnano is the most likely passer in this game to throw a touchdown, the top price on this specific board.
  • Sam Hartman (Passing TD 1+: 41¢, No 91%): Hartman's touchdown price trails his passing yards price, suggesting the market expects him to move the ball more than he finds the end zone through the air.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins: Best NFL Prop Bets – More Markets

Atlanta and Miami's backups round out the early wave of Friday's slate, and the passing props here carry some of the highest prices on the entire board.

Rushing Yards

Cash Jones is the only rushing yards market active in this game, and it's priced as a near-even bet.

  • Cash Jones (Rushing 50+: 45¢, No 97%): Jones sits right around a coin flip to clear 50+ rushing yards, backing up his standing as this game's top anytime touchdown scorer price above.

Passing Yards

Both quarterbacks in this game carry heavy passing yards prices, led by Atlanta's Jack Strand.

  • Jack Strand (Passing 75+: 72¢, No 72%): Strand's price is the highest single passing yards number on this entire slate, a sign Atlanta plans to let its backup throw often.
  • Quinn Ewers (Passing 75+: 59¢, No 56%): Ewers is priced above a coin flip as well, keeping this passing yards market competitive between the two backups.

Receiving Yards

Miami's two receivers here are priced identically, a rare exact tie on this slate.

  • Kevin Coleman Jr. (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 41%): Coleman is priced as a favorite to clear 25+ yards, matching his counterpart below exactly.
  • Vinny Anthony II (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 41%): Anthony shares the same price as Coleman, which is why the touchdown market above became the tiebreaker for our pick between the two.

Passing Touchdowns

The passing touchdown board here is also a dead heat between the two starting arms.

  • Quinn Ewers (Passing TD 1+: 50¢, No 83%): Ewers is priced at exactly a coin flip to throw a touchdown.
  • Jack Strand (Passing TD 1+: 50¢, No 94%): Strand matches Ewers's price here, even as he's the clear favorite on the passing yards market above.

New York Giants vs. New York Jets: Best NFL Prop Bets – More Markets

The two New York teams close out preseason play with a passing-heavy board, led by a trio of quarterbacks all priced well above a coin flip on passing yards.

Rushing Yards

The Jets' backfield split shows up clearly in this market, with Eric Gray priced well ahead of Chip Trayanum on rushing yards despite their identical touchdown prices above.

  • Chip Trayanum (Rushing 50+: 34¢, No 98%): Trayanum's price on the tougher 50+ threshold trails Gray's badly, pointing to a smaller early-down role tonight.
  • Eric Gray (Rushing 25+: 63¢, No 81%): Gray is a strong favorite to clear 25+ yards, the clearest workload signal in this backfield.

Passing Yards

All three quarterbacks here are priced above a coin flip, with Giants passer Brandon Allen out front.

  • Brandon Allen (Passing 75+: 76¢, No 68%): Allen carries the highest passing yards price of any quarterback on this entire slate, a sign the Giants plan to keep the ball in his hands.
  • Bailey Zappe (Passing 75+: 54¢, No 90%): Zappe's price sits closer to even, the softest of the three arms in this game.
  • Cade Klubnik (Passing 75+: 74¢, No 70%): Klubnik trails only Allen here, giving the Jets' rookie a strong price of his own.

Receiving Yards

Only one receiving yards market is active in this game.

  • Odell Beckham Jr. (Receiving 25+: 50¢, No 83%): Beckham sits at exactly a coin flip to clear 25+ yards, even as he trails the Jets' backfield duo on the touchdown market above.

Passing Touchdowns

The passing touchdown board is tightly bunched, mirroring the competitive passing yards market above.

  • Cade Klubnik (Passing TD 1+: 50¢, No 90%): Klubnik is priced at a coin flip to throw a touchdown.
  • Bailey Zappe (Passing TD 1+: 41¢, No 97%): Zappe trails the field slightly here, consistent with his softer passing yards price above.
  • Brandon Allen (Passing TD 1+: 50¢, No 90%): Allen matches Klubnik's price despite carrying the highest passing yards number in the game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Best NFL Prop Bets – More Markets

Jacksonville's backups carry the highest prices on this board, led by a deep group of receivers all sitting near or above a coin flip.

Rushing Yards

Only one rushing yards market is active in this game, and it backs up J'Mari Taylor's standing as this slate's top Jaguars touchdown price.

  • J'Mari Taylor (Rushing 25+: 60¢, No 56%): Taylor is priced as a real favorite to clear 25+ yards, reinforcing the workload read from the touchdown market above.

Passing Yards

All four quarterbacks here carry heavy passing yards prices, topped by Jacksonville's Jalon Daniels.

  • Jake Browning (Passing 75+: 77¢, No 67%): Browning is priced as a strong favorite to clear 75+ yards for Tampa Bay.
  • Carter Bradley (Passing 75+: 60¢, No 73%): Bradley's price is the softest of the four arms in this game.
  • Jalon Daniels (Passing 75+: 81¢, No 63%): Daniels carries the single highest passing yards price on this entire slate, a strong signal Jacksonville plans to let him air it out.
  • Joey Aguilar (Passing 75+: 72¢, No 72%): Aguilar trails only Daniels here, keeping this a strong night for both Jacksonville arms.

Receiving Yards

Four receivers have active markets here, with Jacksonville's CJ Williams and Josh Cameron leading the pack.

  • Josh Cameron (Receiving 25+: 55¢, No 65%): Cameron's price backs up his edge in the touchdown tiebreaker above.
  • CJ Williams (Receiving 25+: 60¢, No 65%): Williams carries the top receiving price in this game, the strongest target-share signal on the board.
  • Kameron Johnson (Receiving 25+: 51¢, No 80%): Johnson sits just above a coin flip, the softest of the four receivers here.
  • Ted Hurst (Receiving 25+: 50¢, No 73%): Hurst is priced at exactly a coin flip, just behind Cameron in the tiebreaker for this game's second touchdown pick.

Passing Touchdowns
