There are a lot of injury question marks in this game so when picking TD scorers, you either need to have solid conviction on who you are betting earlier in the week or may just need to wait till closer to kickoff to have an accurate sense of the lineup.

It might be even tougher now with the Packers because RB Josh Jacobs is banged up and WR Christian Watson left last game with a chest injury.

The receiver that would likely slot in for Watson on the outside if he misses this game is WR Dontayvion Wicks at +400.

The Bears tend to use a higher rate of man coverage (eighth-highest rate) and Wicks has been historically much better against man defenses with a higher targets per route run (TPRR), like when he scored twice against the Lions, who also use a lot of man defense.

Still, the touchdown upside for Wicks may come down to one throw, so keep that in mind.

On the Bears' side, my initial lean was rookie WR Luther Burden III, but he’s been hobbled with an ankle injury, while WR Rome Odunze will also miss more time.

I’d rather pivot to the run game, keep it simple and go with QB Caleb Williams in this spot.

Williams has 19 red-zone carries this season — third for all quarterbacks — and he is allergic to just throwing from the pocket as he loves to try and make things happen on the run.

With some Bears pass-catchers banged up and the run game being so effective this season, Williams sets up perfectly to take one himself into the end zone with the Packers defense focused on RBs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.

Pick: Caleb Williams Anytime Touchdown (+400; bet365)
