BEST NFL WEEK 18 ANYTIME TD BETS
RACHAAD WHITE ANYTIME TD SCORER (-105) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Tampa Bay's RB1, Rachaad White, has been highly valuable to the Buccaneers' offense in 2023. White started slow, but has scored nine total touchdowns this season, with eight of them occurring since November.
White didn't score a touchdown against the Saints' stout run defense in Week 17, but he'll get another plus-matchup against one of the most porous run defenses in the NFL, as Tampa Bay travels to Carolina in a must-win game to advance into the NFC playoffs. White went for 20-84-1 on the ground against the Panthers in Week 13, but he's also a very skilled pass-catcher out of the backfield.
At -105, we're hardly getting any juice on his anytime touchdown odds. Carolina has surrendered a league-high 25 rushing touchdowns entering Week 18, including two to Travis Etienne a week ago, so we're staking four units on White to notch his tenth touchdown of the season in a favorable matchup in a must-win game.
TY CHANDLER ANYTIME TD SCORER (+125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Minnesota's shift from Alexander Mattison to Ty Chandler as RB1 in the Vikings' backfield has created more opportunities for the second-year running back out of UNC. Chandler's versatility as a pass-catcher and jump-cut ability as a ball carrier fits nicely within head coach Kevin O'Connell's zone run-blocking scheme, which is why we've seen Chandler record score twice in the last three games.
Detroit's defense has been vulnerable at times this season, and although they can still clinch the top seed in the NFC with a win and some help, the Vikings are in desperation mode. Nick Mullens is expected to continue starting as QB1, and when we saw these two teams face off in Week 16, Chandler's usage at the goal-line resulted in a rushing touchdown.
As long as Mullens can move the football downfield to a strong, healthy wide receiving corps, albeit without star tight end T.J. Hockenson, Chandler should handle several touches in the red zone, which will be enough to score a touchdown, cashing us out at +125 odds on FanDuel Sportsbook. Let's stake a unit on Chandler to score his fourth touchdown of the season and his third since Week 15.
D.K. METCALF ANYTIME TD SCORER (+125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Seattle's loss to Pittsburgh has put them into the 8th seed in the NFC playoff race, so they'll need to handle business against Arizona in Week 18 to preserve their playoff hopes. Wideout D.K. Metcalf was held out of the end zone against the Steelers in Week 17, but he's been scoring every other week since Week 11, which implies he's due to log his ninth touchdown of the 2023 season on the road against the Cardinals.
Metcalf is +125 odds, which is solid value, especially with Geno Smith healthy enough to remain under center. The Cardinals' run defense is porous, ranking at the bottom of the league, so expect the Seahawks to move the football effectively with Kenneth Walker III. This will set them up for play action deep balls to Metcalf or put Seattle into the red zone, where Metcalf's big-bodied frame is a mismatch nightmare for the defense.
We're staking two units on Metcalf to score at +125 odds on FanDuel Sportsbook.
JUWAN JOHNSON ANYTIME TD SCORER (+280) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Derek Carr's favorite target lately, outside of wideout Chris Olave, has been tight end Juwan Johnson. Johnson has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, while steadily earning more targets, climbing from two, to four, then eight against the Buccaneers in Week 17.
Johnson's role in the Saints offense is pivotal for New Orleans to move the football, which they'll need to do in a must-win game, with NFC South divisional winner and NFC playoff berth implications on the line. Carr's rapport with Johnson is obviously strong, and we remember how much he favored Darren Waller during their time with the Raiders, so this is a great number to acquire for Johnson's anytime touchdown odds.
Atlanta has surrendered three touchdowns to tight ends this season, so at +280 odds, let's stake a unit on Johnson to score for the fourth consecutive game at home against the Falcons.
JOSH ALLEN ANYTIME TD SCORER (-125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Josh Allen has been a touchdown-scoring machine in 2023, especially in the latter half of the year under new OC Joe Brady. Allen's dual-threat ability, combining physicality and elusiveness, makes him a huge asset in the Bills' offense.
Buffalo has to win in order to advance to the AFC playoffs and they'll be featured in prime time on the road against the Miami Dolphins to wrap up the 2023 regular season on Sunday Night Football. Allen has scored at least one rushing touchdown in 13 of 17 games played this season, with a five-game rushing touchdown streak intact, where he's compiled eight rushing touchdowns since Thanksgiving.
We're going full send on Allen to score his 16th rushing touchdown of the season, as he could break Buffalo's all-time single-season rushing touchdown record with two more rushing touchdowns logged on Sunday night. A five-unit max is only appropriate for Allen's anytime touchdown odds, as he and the Bills finds themselves in a must-win game.
