Monday Night Football is back on ESPN to close out a crazy Week 7 where the public got wrecked at the books. As a Vikings fan, hopefully, that trend continues tonight, since the public is heavy on the 49ers, but I'm not worried about who wins right now, I'm focusing on who is going to score. I have two of my favorite scorers, one from each team, at the best price tonight. Let's get into 'em.

Monday Night Football Anytime TD Picks
Jordan Addison Anytime Touchdown +260 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The rookie from USC will get his time in the spotlight probably much sooner than he thought. With Justin Jefferson on the IR for four games, Addison's already decent volume shoots up even more. Even before last week when Jefferson missed his first game, Addison was tied for the lead on the team with three receiving touchdowns. He got another one last week against the Bears, and he now holds the lead with four.
Addison has shown some great hands early, and it looks like Kirk and KOC trust his hands a lot in the red zone, which is important given how many red zone turnovers the Vikings already have. Addison has six targets in the red zone, averaging at least one per game, and he also has two touchdowns outside the red zone on big plays. His line is this high because the Vikings aren't expected to score much tonight, but if they get even one touchdown, I think Addison is the best shot. The Vikings are the only NFL team without a rushing touchdown this season, and that may not change after today with the 49ers ranking first in limiting opposing running backs. It's a passing game for the Vikes.
Kyle Juszczyk Anytime Touchdown +1100 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
This one is a bit of a long shot, but it's not a complete shot in the dark. The 49ers like to get creative with their play calling, and it's not often wide receivers are even the most targeted in the red zone. In fact, only four of the 49er's ten passing touchdowns have gone to wide receivers.
The fullback Kyle Juszczyk brings some interesting value into this matchup. Juszczyk has one touchdown this season, which was a one-yard receiving touchdown. He lined up behind Christian McCaffrey, and it was a play fake to McCaffrey where Purdy faked the hand off, and Juszczyk was wide open with no one on him in the end zone. I could easily see this play being called again because of how effective it is. It looks like McCaffrey will play tonight, and a lot of the time they do just hand it off to him on the goal line, which is what makes the play fake so effective against defenses when they don't.
Juszczyk is that guy who will not get a lot of volume as far as touching the ball, which is why his line is +1100 to score, but he does have designed plays that they will call for him inside the five-yard line because he is a mobile fullback who also blocks well. Even though he doesn't touch the ball a lot, he plays over 50% of snaps basically every week because of his multiple uses. With a banged-up McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, I wouldn't be surprised if something is drawn up for Juszczyk tonight.
