Texans vs Chargers Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props

Texans vs Chargers Anytime Touchdown Picks

Woody Marks Anytime Touchdown (+160)

The Texans offense can have some moments where they click and look unstoppable, and others where they seemingly go three-and-out repeatedly.

The variance of how this offense looks week to week makes it difficult to pinpoint TD value, but I think it starts with TE Dalton Schultz and RB Woody Marks.

Schultz has scored in back-to-back games, while the Chargers' pass defense ranks 29th in defensive DVOA vs. tight ends, so he would be an interesting option, but with Marks returning to practice this week, I expect the Texans to lean on him heavily.

The Chargers' run defense (19th in defensive DVOA) is far weaker than the pass defense (6th in defensive DVOA), with 16 rushing TDs allowed compared to just 14 passing TDs.

Prior to the injury vs. the Cardinals, Marks had 15+ carries in four straight games — if he’s back to full strength, I’ll take a RB1 at these odds.

Pick: Woody Marks Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+160)

Ladd McConkey Anytime Touchdown (+250)

The Texans seem like they have no weakness on defense, but the main value in this game is Chargers pass-catchers like Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen.

Of the three, I’d likely go with McConkey since he’ll lineup in the slot the most of the trio and likely avoid having to match up with CB Derek Stingley Jr.

If you recall, last year when these teams faced each other in the playoffs, it was McConkey who got peppered with targets and scored a TD.

Pick: Ladd McConkey Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+250)
