NFL Week 11: Top Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks to Watch

Week 11 of the NFL season brings a wealth of opportunities for fans and bettors alike, with only two teams on a bye. As playoff races heat up, several key matchups are set to unfold, including the highly anticipated clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.

In this context, sports analysts Peter Dewey and Iain MacMillan have each selected their top picks for players likely to score touchdowns during Sunday’s action. Their focus is on standout players from games that hold significant implications for playoff positioning.

In Week 10, Dewey successfully predicted that Jameson Williams of the Detroit Lions would find the end zone, following an impressive performance that included six receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders. This week, they are targeting a wide receiver in the game between the Miami Dolphins and the Commanders, as well as a tight end from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Key Player Picks for Touchdowns

According to Dewey, Jaylen Waddle is an intriguing option this week. The Dolphins’ wide receiver has been in excellent form, particularly following the injury to teammate Tyreek Hill, who is out for the remainder of the season. Waddle enters Week 11 with 46 receptions on 66 targets, totaling 670 yards and five touchdowns. Notably, he has scored in two of his last three games and has surpassed 82 receiving yards in five of his past six matchups.

Waddle’s performance against a Washington defense that has struggled significantly is a strong indicator of his potential to score. The Commanders rank 31st in expected points added per pass and have allowed 22 passing touchdowns this season, tied for the second most in the league. Despite some inconsistency from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Waddle remains a reliable target, making him a compelling bet to score at even odds in Madrid on Sunday morning.

MacMillan, on the other hand, is placing his faith in tight end Jonnu Smith. The Steelers’ tight ends face the Bengals, a team that has notably struggled against this position. When these teams last met, the Steelers’ tight ends combined for a remarkable four touchdowns. The Bengals currently lead the league in touchdowns allowed to opposing tight ends, with a staggering total of 11, four more than any other team.

Smith, who has been logging approximately 20% more offensive snaps than teammate Pat Freiermuth, presents a valuable betting opportunity at odds of +240 to score a touchdown.

As the weekend approaches, bettors and fans will be closely monitoring these players as they aim to light up the scoreboard. The combination of favorable matchups and standout performances makes both Waddle and Smith key figures to watch in Week 11.
