There are some teams that may not be very good but are excellent against either the run or pass on defense. Betting on which player can score a touchdown adds some extra drama to any game people are watching.
Here’s a look at four players to score in Week 11.
D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions, RB, +118
Swift has provided plenty of versatility in the backfield for the Lions. While Swift doesn’t get a majority of caries, Swift gets enough touches that can cause the New York Giants problems this weekend. Swift has had one pass reception of 20 or more yards three times this season.
Swift has also had two runs of 50-plus yards this year. Swift has two rushing and receiving touchdowns that have been spread out in four of the six games he’s appeared in.
New York has struggled to run the ball this season, ranking 24th in the league by allowing 133.2 yards per game. Detroit should have some room to make plays out of the backfield.
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears, QB, -139
The Bears have figured out a way to make use of a non-traditional quarterback like Fields. Instead of trying to force him to stay in the pocket, Chicago has freed up Fields to make more plays with his feet. Over the Bears’ last five games, Fields has carried the ball ten or more times in four of those games.
Fields also has picked up rushing touchdowns in four of those games as well. Chicago playing Atlanta should give Fields more opportunities to make plays, as the Falcons’ defense has had difficulty stopping their opponents all season.
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens, TE, +128
Lamar Jackson does his best to find Andrews as often as possible. Baltimore’s tight end has been targeted ten or more times in four games this season.
Andrews has hauled in five touchdowns so far. Jackson will want to get him back in rhythm, as Andrews only has seven catches for 33 yards this season.
The Panthers’ defense bounced back against a struggling Atlanta team last week. However, Carolina had been torched by the Bengals and Falcons in the previous two weeks. Baltimore will find a way to put up a bunch of points, and Andrews will find the endzone.
Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals, WR, +138
Boyd, who grew up just south of Pittsburgh in Clairton, has always enjoyed playing against his hometown team. He has caught five touchdown passes in 11 career games against the Steelers, including one earlier this season. While Pittsburgh is returning T.J. Watt, there are questions about Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and his health.
Quarterback Joe Burrow will be eager to get revenge after throwing four interceptions against the Steelers earlier this season. One of the touchdown passes Burrow throws will go to Burrow.
