Dolphins vs Steelers Anytime Touchdown Picks
Darren Waller Anytime Touchdown (+340)
Darren Waller has four touchdowns in six games this season, but he hasn’t scored yet since coming back from injury but tonight should be a better matchup this week against the Steelers.
Pittsburgh ranks seventh in the NFL in man coverage rate, with Waller tending to get a higher rate against man.
Not just that, the Steelers have also allowed eight touchdowns to tight ends this season, while ranking bottom-10 in targets, catches and yards to the position.
Pick: Darren Waller Anytime Touchdown (+340; FanDuel)
Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown (+460)
As bad as the Steelers are at defending tight ends, the Dolphins may be slightly worse.
They’ve allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends while ranking bottom-five in the league in targets, catches and yards to the position.
Pat Freiermuth has four touchdowns this season and tends to do well against zone defense and Cover 2, a defense that Miami plays at the highest rate in the NFL.
I believe Freiermuth sees a higher target rate as a result and at +460, I love the price in a favorable matchup.
Pick: Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown (+460; bet365)
