Top Anytime Touchdown Bets for Week 9
According to DraftKings Sportsbook odds, five value picks stand out for Week 9 without relying on overly predictable choices or extreme long shots.
RB Jonah Coleman (-105): Rookie running back Jonah Coleman may have secured the Denver Broncos’ RB1 role following a Week 8 comeback win against the Kansas City Chiefs. He contributed 41 rushing yards and a touchdown while leading the team with 63 receiving yards on four receptions. Coleman handled the game-winning drive entirely by himself, taking a short pass 51 yards to the 5-yard line before scoring on the next play. The Broncos face a Carolina Panthers squad dealing with significant offensive line and secondary injuries, and a Carolina defense that has given up 42.7 points per game at home this season.
RB Josh Jacobs (-115): Having hit on this wager in two consecutive weeks, Josh Jacobs remains a reliable red-zone option. Across his two games this season, Jacobs has scored three touchdowns despite totaling just 75 yards on 32 carries. CBS Sports Research notes that the Packers hold the fewest rushing yards (485) by a winning team through eight games in NFL history, yet Jacobs continues to receive critical red-zone touches.
49ers RB Kaelon Black (+210): San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black recorded 12 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons, alongside one catch for a loss of four yards. While the outcome against the Las Vegas Raiders remains to be seen, the Raiders have surrendered an NFL-high 35.5 points per game over their last five outings and a league-worst 6.1 yards per play, making Black a compelling flier.
TE Colston Loveland (+150): The Chicago Bears enter this stretch averaging 30 points and 350 total yards over three consecutive victories. While Luther Burden III leads the team with 42 catches on 56 targets from Caleb Williams, tight end Colston Loveland trails closely with 33 catches on 51 targets. Loveland has scored twice in his last three games, presenting strong value to find the end zone during a red-zone trip against the Buccaneers.
QB Joe Milton III (+550): Joe Milton III prepares for his first professional start, bringing immense arm strength and high-level athleticism to the field. During his NFL debut for the Patriots in the 2024 season, Milton connected on 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown, while adding 10 rushes for 16 yards and another score. His willingness to scramble when plays break down creates potential scoring opportunities in the red zone.
Joe Milton takes the field for his first start as fans recall his past performances and dynamic physical tools.
