If the season-opening contest is any indication of how the rest of the season will play out, NFL fans should buckle in for a wild ride. In a game of inches, potentially less than one inch was the difference maker as the two-time Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens with Isaiah Likely’s big toe reversing the last-second touchdown throw.
Isaiah Likely was an unlikely recipient of (almost) two touchdown receptions Thursday night. As was Xavier Worthy, but he was definitely worthy of those touches.
In an opening weekend with little certainty, what can fans take to the bank for their player prop bets? We’ll provide fans with some “four sure” anytime touchdown-scoring player prop bets for Sunday’s games.
Live player props data coming soon for Tyreek Hill.
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (-120)
The Dolphins made Tyreek Hill a very rich man this offseason as he signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension with $72 million in guaranteed compensation. As an organization, you’re not paying a non-quarterback that much money unless you expect him to produce.
Last season, the 5-foot-1 receiver did just that, finishing his eighth-straight Pro Bowl season with a career-best 13 touchdowns through the air. In two seasons with Miami, Hill has caught 20 total touchdown passes.
Expect the 30-year-old speedster to produce another strong performance out of the gate against Jacksonville on Sunday. The Jaguars have steady performers in the defensive backfield, but a speedster like Hill is bound to get free for at least one touchdown against the AFC South squad.

| Josh Allen | Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer | |
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (-105)
Not having a proven running back has not affected the Buffalo Bills in goal-line situations. Instead, the team uses 6-foot-5, 237-pound quarterback Josh Allen to find the endzone, evidenced by his 15 touchdown rushes last season.
Despite having James Cook back this season, the Bills will continue to rely on Allen in goal-to-go situations. Expect Allen to pick up where he left off last season and use his legs to score a touchdown Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

| Alvin Kamara | Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer | |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (+130)
Saints runner Alvin Kamara missed part of the 2023 season, yet the now 29-year-old runner finished with 1,160 yards in 13 contests. Despite his age, Kamara is showing no signs of slowing down as he scored six touchdowns last season with the offense concentrating on speed and spacing to move the ball.
Carolina was the 10th-worst rushing defense in the NFL last season, yielding over 122 yards per outing. Their offseason acquisitions focused on securing weapons for Bryce Young instead of helping the run defense. Expect Kamara to exploit that for at least one rushing touchdown on Sunday.

| Amari Cooper | Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer | |
Cleveland Browns WR Amari Cooper (+190)
For the first time in his career, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper will play against his former team when the Dallas Cowboys come to town. Cooper – who staged a holdout for the first time in his career – enters the season fresh after limited participation in preseason games.
The Cowboys enter this game with holes in their secondary due to DaRon Bland’s foot injury. Certainly, the Cowboys will focus on Cooper in the passing attack, but he’ll sneak behind his defender at least once to score a touchdown Sunday against his former team.
