Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions: Week 16 is here – who are we backing?

The less said about last week the better...

But, it's a new week in the NFL. and let's hope I can deliver an early Christmas present by landing my second winner of the season. Read on for my Anytime Touchdown Scorer predictions.

Saquon Barkley - Philadelphia Eagles (@ Washington Commanders) @ 5/6

I'm firmly expecting for Saquon Barkley to build on his performance against the Raiders last week.

After winning Offensive Player of the Year last season, Barkley has struggled to bring that form into this campaign but has shown flashes of brilliance here and there.

Last week, he rushed for 78 yards against the Raiders, and he'll fancy his chances of causing further havoc on Sunday, as the Commanders have struggled against the running game all season long.

Josh Jacobs - Green Bay Packers (@ Chicago Bears) @ 5/6

There's never any real value on Josh Jacobs to score anytime but I can't look past him this Sunday as the Packers travel to Soldier Field to face the Bears.

With Christian Watson out, Jacobs should get more opportunities to get into the end zone for Green Bay - he also scored in the 28-21 win over the Bears on December 7 and has six career touchdowns in six appearances against Chicago.

Jacobs has 14 total touchdowns this season, and the Bears rank 22nd in red-zone defence, so I'm expecting another score from the Packers running back.

Dawson Knox - Buffalo Bills (@ Cleveland Browns) @ 3/1

Dawson Knox has been in brilliant form recently for the Bills, scoring twice last week against the Patriots and had a touchdown ruled out through a penalty in Week 14.

Over the last two games, Knox has had four targets inside the 10-yard line, and when you consider the fact that Cleveland have allowed just one rushing quarterback touchdown this season, it suggests that Josh Allen will pass rather than run the closer Buffalo get to the end zone.

Derrick Henry - Baltimore Ravens (vs New England Patriots) @ 5/6

'King Henry' is always worth considering when thinking of anytime touchdown scorer bets. The 31-year-old has proven himself to be a reliable scoring option in this league over the years, and he doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Henry has 10 touchdowns this season to go with 50 red-zone touches and 15 goal-line carries. For those of you not up to date with your NFL lingo, it basically means he's heavily involved in Baltimore's attacks.

This week, Henry has the perfect opponents for his game - the Patriots have the league's worst red zone unit, allowing a touchdown on 75% of plays. Expect Henry to dominate in this game, and grab a touchdown or two.
