MNF Week 3 TD picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to full NFL betting markets<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Chase anytime TD (+100)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Commanders were the most welcoming opponent for receivers to face last season, and the early returns this year have been exceptional, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the Commanders allowed league-highs in receiving yards (3,167) and touchdowns (29) to receivers. On a per-game basis, they’ve allowed the fourth-most yards and the most TDs so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only problem is Chase’s slow start \u2014 paired with the fact that Tee Higgins is back and could vulture some quality looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chase, who is trying to become the highest-paid receiver in the league, isn’t off to the kind of start that would earn him that distinction. Through two games, he has 10 catches for 98 yards and zero touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, Chase only has one red zone target so far. Last year, he saw 21 red zone targets in 16 games, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can spin Higgins’ return as a positive or a negative for Chase’s production, but I’m opting to look at it positively. The three-time Pro Bowler has been incessantly double-teamed, forcing quarterback Joe Burrow to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Higgins on the field, Chase will hopefully<\/em> see more one-on-one matchups. If that happens, I’ll gladly put my confidence in him to outshine the Commanders’ woeful pass defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: Since the start of last season, Washington has allowed 1.9 touchdowns per game to opposing receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cook anytime TD (-121):<\/strong> Josh Allen is always a concern for Cook ATTD bettors, but I think there might be enough to go around tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook had a trio of touchdowns last week, and he scored from three distinct distances: one yard, 17 yards and 49 yards. So even if Allen reclaims the goal line plunges for himself, Cook can hit the end zone from elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Cook’s red zone usage so far has been solid. He has more touches inside the 20-yard line (five) than all of Buffalo’s receivers and tight ends combined (three).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis anytime TD (+220):<\/strong> I love a revenge game narrative as much as anyone, but there’s more to this TD pick than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Davis is back in Western New York to face the Bills for the first time as an enemy, but that doesn’t necessarily boost his stock as a scoring threat. You know what does boost his stock, though? Last week’s involvement against a feisty Browns defence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Week 2, Davis saw seven targets (two in the red zone) on 94.1% route participation, according to Player Profiler. He only turned that into three grabs for 43 yards, but it’s nice to know Trevor Lawrence is already looking his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan Engram is still sidelined for the Jaguars, which removes one red zone threat from the equation. And the Bills will be without starting corner Taron Johnson, a second-team All-Pro last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis, a 2020 fourth-round draftee, already has 16 TD catches in Orchard Park, New York. What’s one more? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
