With two defenses who can’t stop a nosebleed, Jason Logan believes the anytime TD market is live and ripe for picking. Find out why he’s backing Tee Higgins and Dallas’ Swiss-army knife to find paydirt on Monday Night Football.
Monday Night Football featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys has earned “The Simpsons” treatment, and with such a high total, fans of NFL player props are eyeing the Anytime Touchdown odds.
The popular NFL props market is live, considering we have two terrible defenses taking the field at AT&T Stadium, with five players paying shorter than 2/1 to score a touchdown.

Bengals Anytime Touchdown Pick
Tee Higgins Anytime Touchdown
+130 at FanDuel
Tee Higgins has shown very little rust since returning to the Cincinnati Bengals offense in Week 12. He’s been targeted a total of 23 times for 14 catches in those two contests, scoring a touchdown in both outings.
Higgins did that damage against quality defenses in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. Now, he faces a Dallas defense that has given up big scores all season. The Cowboys run a lot of zone schemes and Higgins just so happens to be the No. 8 WR versus zone, according to PFF ratings.
Despite playing in only seven games due to injuries, the 6-foot-5 Higgins sits second in red-zone targets (12) and is also splitting snaps between the slot and being out wide. The Cowboys are the 20th-best defense at stopping slot receivers.
His Week 14 projections range from 0.4 to 0.5 touchdown catches on Monday Night Football, which sees his “touchdown anytime” odds as low as +120. You can get +130 at FanDuel for what should be another high-scoring showing from Cincinnati.
Cowboys Anytime Touchdown Pick
KaVontae Turpin Anytime Touchdown
+650 at FanDuel
KaVontae Turpin is a threat to score whenever he’s on the field, be it as a receiver, runner, or kick returner.
He tied a season-high with five targets in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants, catching four of those balls for 53 yards. He also got two touches as a ball carrier in that Week 13 outing. This usage came despite Turpin playing just 18% of the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive snaps.
Cincinnati mixes man and zone coverage but does lean more into the former. That’s a good trend for Turpin, who rates out as the Cowboys’ top WR against zone schemes at PFF. The Bengals have also been burned by home runs all season, allowing 39 passing plays of 20 yards or more including six passes of 40-plus.
Turpin’s speed makes him a big-play threat, as we saw with a 64-yard touchdown reception against Houston a few weeks ago. Given the game script for this contest, the window is wide open for explosive plays from Turpin.
