Since NFL leaderboards look at cumulative stats as opposed to averages, players that miss a few games often go overlooked in regards to their production. But with that, you can find value in them with NFL props, specifically in regards to NFL touchdown prop bets. Kyren Williams has 12 touchdowns in his 11 games played, while Jonathan Taylor has hit pay dirt five times across his five starts. Both have favorable matchups on Sunday and could be great value plays with individual anytime TD bets or as part of a Week 17 NFL touchdown parlay.
Taylor faces the Raiders' 22nd-ranked run defense while Williams gets the Giants, who rank 29th in defending the ground game. On a per-start basis, Taylor and Williams have been as productive as anyone in scoring outside of Christian McCaffrey and Raheem Mostert, so it would be wise to consider them for Week 17 NFL touchdown bets. Before making any NFL touchdown prop bets, you need to see the Week 17 NFL prop predictions from SportsLine expert Griffin Carroll.
When betting touchdown parlays in the NFL, it can be best to wager at a lower unit size and consider betting all parlay legs straight as well. The TD market is both electrifying and frustrating, but few things are as satisfying as seeing your player hit pay-dirt, making it one of Carroll's favorite weekly traditions.
Carroll dives into the touchdown market, along with other plus-money NFL props, on a weekly basis, targeting volume players and the most vulnerable defenses in the league. He tends to focus on total touchdowns allowed to each position, defenses allowing the most explosive plays and every player's usage stats from snaps to red zone work to find his favorite bets of the weekend. The approach has paid out in a big way before in the parlay market with a nearly 400-1 hit earlier this season.
In Week 14, Carroll won a three-leg touchdown parlay as D.J. Moore, Deebo Samuel and Alvin Kamara all scored to hit a 9-1 NFL TD parlay.

Top anytime touchdown scorer prop picks for Week 17
After analyzing the Week 17 NFL touchdown odds, Carroll is backing 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk to score at +120 prop odds. The Niners take on the Commanders in Week 17, and while Aiyuk has yet to score in two previous career games versus Washington, he has totaled 15 catches for 200 yards in those contests. Those Washington defenses he faced in the past were miles ahead of this current unit, which ranks dead-last in points allowed, yards allowed and passing touchdowns allowed.
The Commanders have allowed the second-most touchdowns to wide receivers this season, giving up 23 scores across 15 games to that position alone. They've allowed eight TDs to WRs over the last four games, and they've given up an average of 37 points in those contests. Aiyuk also happens to be one of those players who relishes playing in front of a road crowd as he has 11 touchdowns over his last 13 regular-season road games. With plus-money prop odds, he'll find his way into lots of Week 17 anytime TD bets. See more NFL TD props here.
