The Atlanta Falcons travel to Philly to take the on the Philadelphia Eagles for Monday Night Football. I am back with two more anytime TD targets that I like for tonight's game.

Keep in mind, when I am looking for anytime TD targets, I am really paying attention to the odds offered as I think that is one of the most important things to keep in mind when playing touchdown props.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles Anytime TD Scorers
1. Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
I like Jalen Hurts a ton tonight. I think he will have multiple opportunities to punch one into the end zone tonight. The Falcons are a team that I typically like to target for opposing QBs rushing props. They allowed Justin Fields to have a night day on the ground in Week 1 as he rushed 14 times for 57 yards. In 2023 they also allowed the second-most Rushing TDs to opposing QBs. Hurts last season recorded a rushing TD in 11 of his last 15 healthy regular season games, a lot of it due to the tush push which the Eagles have mentioned is still a big part of their playbook. The addition of Saquon Barkley does make his anytime TD a little bit tougher, but I do think the market is overplaying that a bit. Hurts is finally fully healthy again and rushed 13 times in Week 1. We should see more rushing efficiency and volume from him then what we saw last season in my opinion. One of the Eagles coaches also hinted at a small decrease in overall volume for Saquon Barkley after he racked up 26 touches in Week 1. Pair that with the fact AJ Brown is also out, I love Hurts to find the end zone tonight!
2. Kyle Pitts Anytime Touchdown Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Falcons player that I will be targeting is tight end Kyle Pitts. Pitts caught a touchdown in Week 1, and I think he can do the same against the Eagles tonight. Pitts ran 64% of his routes in the slot which if repeated in Week 2, could be huge as he likely would get some Avonte Maddox who is the Eagles slot corner. Maddox allowed Jayden Reed to go nuclear in Week 1 as he went for 138 yards, finding the end zone twice. PFF had him at a 43 coverage grade in Week 1 which is right in line with how did last season (45.2). This is well below average so this is a huge mismatch in my opinion. I expect Pitts to be targeted at least once when the Falcons find themselves in the red zone tonight and think he has a great chance to find the end zone.
