Eagles vs Giants Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown (+210)
Here comes the classic squeaky wheel game for A.J. Brown.
He’s only scored once this season, but the volume has still been there, with 27 targets over his last three games. The issue hasn’t been usage, it’s been the lack of end-zone looks, but that could easily change this week.
If the Eagles are forced to air it out, this matchup sets up perfectly for Brown to break loose.
The Giants play man coverage at the second-highest rate in the NFL, often leaving a single-high safety, and that’s exactly the look Brown has consistently dominated throughout his career.
With New York likely selling out to stop the run and daring Jalen Hurts to throw, this has all the makings of a bounce-back performance for Brown on TNF.
Pick: A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+210)
Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown (+400)
Theo Johnson has been on a tear lately, scoring three touchdowns over his last two games and emerging as a reliable receiving threat for rookie quarterback Jaxon Dart.
Johnson now leads the team with eight red-zone targets, three of which came in Week 5 when he found the end zone twice.
This week’s matchup against the Eagles sets up well for Johnson as Philadelphia relies heavily on zone coverage — particularly Cover 3.
Johnson leads the Giants in fantasy points per route against that coverage, and with him running three times as many routes as TE2 Daniel Bellinger, plus Darius Slayton sidelined, Johnson's target share could rise even further tonight.
Pick: Theo Johnson Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+400)
Editor's Note: An anytime touchdown parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These touchdown picks have value as straight bets.
