Best anytime touchdown scorer prop bets for NFL Week 4

Five NFL players are included on our list of the top bets to consider for Week 4 anytime touchdown scorer bets

There are 16 NFL games on the schedule for Week 4, with the landscape of the league taking shape as the sample size grows. Bye weeks begin in Week 5, leaving football observers with less in the way of tonnage, and that leaves a desire to take it all in before the 16-game slates dwindle.

From a betting standpoint, one way to attack the schedule is to focus on the anytime touchdown prop bet market, and we will do just that in this space.

Below are five players that can provide value at their current price in the NFL betting market. There is a range between relative longshots and safer projections, with the key aspect being to survey the odds across all of the industry’s best sportsbooks in an effort to get the best number available.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (+130, Caesars)

The 2024 season has been an utter disaster for the Jaguars, with bottom five-marks in both scoring offense and scoring defense to go along with an 0-3 record. A lopsided Monday night loss to Buffalo may have been rock bottom for the Jaguars but, on the bright side, Travis Etienne and the running game have been effective. 

Etienne has two touchdowns in three games to go along with 4.6 yards per carry, and the game flow should be much more favorable for rushing touchdown opportunities against Houston than it was against Buffalo. Etienne also has a documented nose for the end zone, putting up 12 scores in 17 games a year ago. The Jaguars may need to lean on the run, and Etienne should have openings to score. Caesars Sportsbook has the best available number on Etienne.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (+190, DraftKings)

After missing the first two games of the season, Higgins returned in a relatively reduced role in Week 3. He drew six targets in support of a big game from fellow receiver Ja’Marr Chase but, with Higgins back at full health, this is a favorable situation. The Bengals likely have extra incentive to get Higgins into the end zone to keep him happy, and Chase will draw the most attention from the scuffling Panthers passing defense.

Higgins rightly isn’t favored to score, but DraftKings Sportsbook has this number at +190 and that is enticing. No team has allowed more points than the Panthers this season, and Carolina has given up seven passing touchdowns in only three games. Look for Joe Burrow and company to feed Higgins in big spots.

Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (+370, DraftKings)

The Rams pulled off a miracle comeback last week in an entertaining win over the 49ers. Still, Los Angeles has a relatively dire injury situation with its offense, including the absence of its two top pass-catchers in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. The Rams are piecing things together by committee, but Robinson pairs talent and role in an intriguing way. 

He has drawn at least four targets every week this season, and Robinson was a part of the offense even at full strength in the season opener. The veteran also has 20 career touchdown catches, and it helps Robinson to have a top-flight quarterback in Matthew Stafford. As always, it would be wise to shop this number around given the relatively long-shot nature of Robinson’s price, but he is attractive as a lead option on a quality offense, and DraftKings is offering the most favorable odds.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (+150, DraftKings)

This is a buy-low spot Rhamondre Stevenson. He is coming off of a 6-carry, 23-yard performance against the New York Jets that was essentially a nightmare for New England’s offense. The Patriots played from behind the entire game, got away from their running attack, and downplayed Stevenson as a result. However, Stevenson has strong fundamentals, and the Patriots undoubtedly realize he is their top offensive weapon.

From a matchup perspective, things look semi-daunting against the 49ers, but that helps to push this number to a friendly range at DraftKings. San Francisco has been solid against the run, though not dominant, and the 49ers allowed three touchdowns to Rams running back Kyren Williams in Week 3. 

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (+175, FanDuel)

Week 3 was the Jauan Jennings game for the 49ers. Johnson, a veteran role player, enjoyed the best game of his NFL career with 11 catches for 175 yards and three touchdowns in a spot without either Deebo Samuel or George Kittle on the field. This time around, Brandon Aiyuk could be in line for a big day, even with some other weapons set to return.

Aiyuk still received ten targets last week, and though he has not found the end zone so far this season, he produced 15 receiving touchdowns in the 2022 and 2023 seasons combined. Aiyuk is still rounding into form after an offseason holdout, but he is an incredibly talented option on the outside. The +175 number available at FanDuel Sportsbook is a value on Aiyuk and a discount for him to find the end zone for the first time in 2024.
