NFL Week 9 Best Touchdown Scorer Predictions

Lock in the three best TD scorer predictions for NFL Week 9 on PrizePicks. One touchdown — either rushing or receiving — and a player cashes their 0.5 Rush+Rec TD projection on PrizePicks.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara vs. Panthers: Rush+Rec TD Scorer (Goblin)

Date: Sunday, November 3

Time: 1 p.m. ET

Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.

TV: CBS

It’s Panthers week for the New Orleans Saints, meaning it’s their turn to take on the absolute worst team in the league. The Saints haven’t been much better, but Kamara has managed to crank out touchdowns, even without his starting quarterback and key members of the offensive line. This week they get Carr back.

When the Saints faced the Panthers in Week 1, Kamara had one touchdown and 110 total yards. Since that game, not much has changed for the Panthers, continuing to let opposing running backs feast on their defense with a 45.5% opponent rushing success rate — 30th in the league, per rbsdm.

This projection is one of the best TD scorer predictions this week and available as a Goblin on PrizePicks. The payout will be slightly lower, but that’s because this projection is easier to win, especially since Kamara is facing the Panthers.

Rams WR Puka Nacua vs. Seahawks: Rush+Rec TD Scorer (Demon)

Date: Sunday, November 3

Time: 4:25 p.m. ET

Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Wash.

TV: FOX

WR Puka Nacua shined in his first game back from injury, recording seven receptions for 106 yards and being the engine of the offense. That performance should carry over into Week 9, making him one of the best touchdown scorer predictions this week, even as a Demon.

The Rams overall looked better with Nacua back, the offense ran better and Stafford looked more like himself than he has all season.Nacua shouldn’t take long to get back in the groove of things and Stafford should be ecstatic to have one of his favorite targets back.

The Rams face the Seattle Seahawks this week, who have an average secondary, ranking 17th in dropback Expected Points Added (0.052). Nacua will have plenty of opportunities to score as the Seahawks will have to choose to sell out to stop Cooper Kupp or Nacua.

Note: Demon picks add a payout boost to your lineup on PrizePicks, as they are more difficult projections to hit.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson vs. Colts: Rush+Rec TD Scorer

Date: Sunday, November 3

Time: 8:20 p.m. ET

Location: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minn.

TV: NBC

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is always one of the best touchdown scorer predictions and I doubt that will ever change. In seven games this season he already has five touchdowns, tying his total from last season.

His opponent this week on Sunday Night Football, the Colts, have a decent secondary that ranks 23rd in dropback EPA against. But Jefferson is virtually matchup proof. The Vikings have lost two straight after beginning the season undefeated and are looking to regain their footing in the NFC. 

Expect a big week for Jefferson, including a touchdown or two, at home against a secondary that likely won’t have an answer for him.
