NFL Week 8 anytime touchdown picks

Player	Pick	Matchup

Derrick Henry	Anytime touchdown	Ravens at Bills
Bucky Irving	Anytime touchdown	Falcons at Buccaneers
Tee Higgins	Anytime touchdown	Titans at Bengals
Trey McBride	Anytime touchdown	Cardinals at Cowboys

Sunday, November 1, 2026. Javonte Williams leads this card, followed by Derrick Henry and Bucky Irving. Tee Higgins is the more volatile receiver option, while Trey McBride gives us the Arizona side of a game with substantial scoring potential.

Javonte Williams anytime touchdown vs. Arizona

Williams has eight rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown through seven games. He has scored in six of those seven appearances, including games in which the yardage was modest. His 41-yard rushing game at Green Bay and 45-yard game against Tampa Bay each included a score. That separation between yardage and scoring is why the touchdown market is attractive here.

The latest game also showed Dallas can give him a substantial workload when the offense is functioning: 25 carries for 155 yards in Philadelphia. Arizona has allowed eight rushing touchdowns and 17 passing touchdowns this season. The Cowboys can threaten through Lamb and the passing game, then use Williams to finish rather than requiring the back to create every scoring opportunity himself. Arizona’s defensive totals support the broader scoring environment.

The CTS red-zone tracker credits Williams with 17 carries inside the opponent’s five-yard line through Week 7. Goodson has none. That is a more specific scoring-role advantage than simply having the most carries.

Williams is our first choice because the role has remained useful through different types of games. He does not need Dallas to abandon the pass, and he does not need to reproduce last week’s efficiency. Short possessions created by a favorable field position can help him just as much as a long drive.

Where the touchdown can go instead: Dallas still has Lamb, George Pickens and its tight ends. Tyler Goodson also received ten carries last week, so Williams does not own every backfield touch. Pickens is active, preserving another scoring option alongside Lamb.

Derrick Henry anytime touchdown at Buffalo

Henry’s seven rushing touchdowns are concentrated in the first four games. He has not scored on the ground in the last three, and his most recent two games produced 58 and 45 rushing yards. The recent record is a reason to examine the offense, not to claim that he is automatically due.

Henry has 36 red-zone carries, including 15 inside the five, through Week 7. That volume of close-range chances gives the touchdown case a firmer basis than a rebound narrative.

Lamar Jackson is active after missing three games. His return can improve Baltimore’s ability to move the chains and create scoring opportunities, while also restoring a quarterback run threat that defenses must respect. Henry can benefit from that stress even without a long touchdown run.

There are meaningful checks on the optimism. Buffalo’s Ed Oliver is active; this is not a matchup built on pretending the Bills are missing their entire interior front. Greg Gaines is inactive. Baltimore will also be without guard Olaivavega Ioane. Those details reduce the appeal of an uncomplicated rushing-yardage projection. Buffalo’s Friday update; Baltimore’s injury report.

The tradeoff: Jackson can help create more red-zone trips and still take the touchdown himself. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers are alternatives through the air. Henry belongs on the card because of his finishing role in a more capable offense, not because Jackson’s return assigns him every scoring chance.

Bucky Irving anytime touchdown vs. Atlanta

Irving has handled 21, 19 and 24 carries in his last three games. He scored twice on the ground in Carolina, but that result should not erase the previous week’s 46-yard, scoreless performance against Pittsburgh. The dependable part of his recent workload is the carry volume; the touchdown total remains variable.

Tampa Bay has reason to keep leaning on that role. Emeka Egbuka is out with a foot injury, reducing the receiving options available to Baker Mayfield. Irving’s Thursday absence was rest, and he practiced fully Friday without a game designation. Kenny Gainwell and tackle Luke Goedeke are active against Atlanta. Gainwell’s availability preserves meaningful backfield competition.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for a chance of showers and thunderstorms during the Tampa game, with east winds around 10–12 mph. That adds uncertainty to sustained drives rather than automatically improving Irving’s touchdown outlook.

The close-range split is less secure than Williams’ or Henry’s: Irving has four carries inside the five through Week 7, while Sean Tucker has three. Irving leads the broader red-zone workload, but Tucker remains a genuine finishing threat.

We like Irving’s route to a score through repeated carries in a competitive home game. The argument is not that Egbuka’s targets become rushing attempts one-for-one. It is that Irving already has a prominent role, and Tampa Bay can use its running game to maintain manageable downs rather than force an undermanned passing attack to solve everything.

The weakest point: The Buccaneers’ 43 points last week are not a reasonable automatic expectation. Fewer productive drives would leave fewer finishing chances, and Gainwell or Sean Tucker can take a possession. Goedeke’s return helps the blocking, but the backfield competition still makes Irving less secure than Williams or Henry.

Tee Higgins anytime touchdown vs. Tennessee

Higgins is the higher-variance receiver option on this card. He has 33 catches for 571 yards through six games and just produced 148 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore. That demonstrates a big-play path, but his season total is only two touchdowns. An 11-catch, 157-yard game against Jacksonville ended without a score. His game log is a useful warning against treating a strong yardage projection as a touchdown guarantee.

The matchup is appealing because Tennessee is adjusting to life without Jeffery Simmons, and Joe Burrow is entering after consecutive four-touchdown passing games. The Titans’ own Week 8 preview identifies both the defensive disruption and the difficulty of getting to Burrow before the ball is released.

Higgins has only three red-zone targets and none inside the ten through Week 7. This is primarily a bet on his ability to score from farther out in a favorable passing matchup, not on an established monopoly near the goal line.

Higgins can win without being Cincinnati’s most targeted player. Ja’Marr Chase attracts defensive attention, while Higgins offers a different size and downfield challenge. We want exposure to that individual scoring path rather than assuming the Bengals must spread four more passing touchdowns across the same players as last week.

The risk: Chase, Chase Brown and the tight ends are real competition. Cincinnati could also build a lead and reduce second-half passing. Higgins needs a scoring play of his own; a productive Bengals afternoon can still leave him without one.

Trey McBride anytime touchdown at Dallas

McBride has four receiving touchdowns and has scored in two of his last three games. He is also Arizona’s leading receiver by catches and yards. The combination matters: he is involved enough to help move the offense into scoring position and can remain part of the plan when the field gets shorter. McBride’s season and game log.

McBride has 17 red-zone targets, including 11 inside the ten, through Week 7. Michael Wilson has seven targets inside the five compared with McBride’s four, so Arizona’s close-range passing work is not exclusively a tight-end proposition.

Dallas has allowed 21 offensive touchdowns, and linebacker Dee Winters is out. McBride’s central role gives Arizona a credible answer inside rather than requiring every scoring play to be a low-percentage perimeter throw. His case is strongest in a game where the Cowboys score enough to keep Brissett throwing, but the Cardinals still sustain drives instead of immediately chasing desperate deep shots.

The counterargument is that Arizona’s offense has not consistently turned its passing volume into touchdowns. McBride caught nine passes against San Francisco without scoring, and seven against the Giants without scoring. He can be the best Cardinals receiver on the field and still lose this particular bet.

How we separate the markets: McBride’s reception prop is the steadier expression of his role. The anytime touchdown is a more aggressive way to back Arizona’s scoring contribution. It should not be mistaken for a duplicate of the catch-volume pick.

Separate three-game anytime touchdown parlay

1. Jahmyr Gibbs anytime touchdown vs. Minnesota
2. James Cook anytime touchdown vs. Baltimore
3. Kyren Williams anytime touchdown vs. the Chargers

Gibbs anytime touchdown: Gibbs has 35 carries inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, producing seven rushing touchdowns, and two receiving scores overall. He has no game designation after full practices Thursday and Friday. Minnesota has allowed only three rushing touchdowns, and Gibbs’ scoreless 29-carry, five-catch game last week shows the risk even when the workload is there. Gibbs’ situational statistics; game log; Lions injury report; Vikings statistics.

Cook anytime touchdown: Cook has scored in five consecutive appearances, with 47 carries across his last two games. His 21 carries inside the 20 have produced six touchdowns, giving him a defined role in finishing Buffalo drives. Josh Allen is the main competition: he has seven rushing touchdowns from inside the 20 himself. Cook’s game log; situational statistics; Allen’s situational statistics.

Williams anytime touchdown: Williams has five rushing touchdowns from 17 carries inside the 20, and the Chargers have allowed nine touchdowns on the ground. The Rams’ backfield split is the concern: Blake Corum had 17 carries and a touchdown last week, compared with Williams’ 16 carries and a score. Center Coleman Shelton is also questionable. Williams’ situational statistics; Corum’s game log; Chargers statistics; Rams injury report.

This combination uses three separate games. All three players must score.
