With the NFL rolling into the final week of play in November, let’s take a look at the four players most likely to find the end zone on Sunday.
Travis Kelce -170
The Kansas City Chiefs are at their best this year when Patrick Mahomes runs the offense through tight end Travis Kelce. Last week against the Chargers, Kelce caught three touchdown passes and set the career record for most 100+ yard games by a tight end. Mahomes and Kelce have hooked up for 11 scores so far this season, including four in the last two games.
During their current four-game win streak, the Chiefs have scored at least 27 points three times. They are home on Sunday, where the offense shines in front of an always raucous crowd. The Chiefs face the LA Rams, who have lost four in a row, allowing 27 or more points in three of those losses.
The Rams haven’t won on the road since September, and they are hurting with Cooper Kupp out, a confusing running back situation, and a banged-up Matt Stafford. Look for the Chiefs to have their way with the Rams, and Kelce will be a focal point of the offense.
Davante Adams -110
It took a while, but Davante Adams and Derek Carr finally have chemistry for the Las Vegas Raiders. While it hasn’t translated into many wins, Last week in Denver, they hooked up twice for scores, including the walk-off touchdown in overtime. Adams has a touchdown in three straight games, tallying five scores in that span.
Sunday, the Raiders head to Seattle, where the Seahawks have allowed two passing touchdowns in two straight games. Tom Brady beat them last week with 258 yards and two scores, and Kyler Murray had two scoring throws in the previous game.
The forecast calls for some rain on Sunday, but the Raiders will still have to throw the ball to stay in the game. Look for Carr to rely on Adams, especially in the red zone with Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow out injured.
Derrick Henry -190
The premier running back in the NFL is ready for some revenge this week as Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans host the Cincinnati Bengals. In January, the Bengals held Henry to 62 yards on 20 carries as they upset the Titans in the playoffs. Henry had a touchdown run in that game, but it wasn’t enough to get the win.
The Bengals’ defense is 17th against the run this season. Henry has scored in three of the last four games with a pair of multi-touchdown games.
In the last five games, he’s also had at least 28 carries three times. Overall he has ten touchdowns on the season and is the go-to option in the red zone for the Titans.
Tyreek Hill -130
Tyreek Hill has had a tremendous first season in Miami, but he only has four touchdown receptions. Look for him to add to that tally on Sunday as the Dolphins host the struggling 1-8-1 Houston Texans.
Coming out of the bye week, the Dolphins are right in the middle of both the AFC East race and the AFC wild-card race. They can improve their standings in both with a win over Houston and should be able to pile up the points against a Texans team making a QB change.
Hill has 31 more targets and 30 more receptions than Jaylan Waddle. He has scored in two straight games against Cleveland and Chicago and should get plenty of chances against the Texans. No team can match Hill’s speed in coverage, and Tua Tagovailoa has shown the ability to get him the ball, both on deep throws and in space.
