Week 10 in the NFL continues with the Lions vs Texans on Sunday Night Football.
This contest kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, and I have two Lions vs. Texans TD scorer props to target tonight. I'm backing a pair of young wide receivers who could be in for big games tonight.
Lions vs. Texans Anytime Touchdown Scorers
- Tank Dell Anytime Touchdown (+230, FanDuel)
- Jameson Williams Anytime Touchdown (+260, FanDuel)
Tank Dell Anytime Touchdown (+230)
Writer's note: If Collins does not play, I wouldn't recommend picking Tank Dell unless he's +160 or higher. If he's the Texans WR1 tonight, Dell's odds will likely be below that in what could be such a high-scoring game.
I understand Nico Collins is expected to be back tonight, but Tank Dell is the optimal target.
Dell has registered two touchdowns this season, both being against man coverage. Luckily for him, Detroit plays man coverage at a top rate in the NFL.
When Collins was out, Dell became C.J. Stroud’s go-to wide receiver – continuing from last season’s trend. He hauled in 30 targets, five red zone targets and the aforementioned two touchdowns.
Look for Tank to take it to the bank.
Jameson Williams Anytime Touchdown (+260)
Jameson Williams is coming back from suspension and has no injuries, so I believe he should see his usual 75% of snaps.
The Texans may be sixth in defensive DVOA against the pass, but they’ve given up 14 passing touchdowns to wide receivers this season, which is second worst in the NFL.
Houston also plays zone coverage at an above-average rate, which is perfect for Williams. He leads the Lions with two touchdowns against zone defenses this season.
Jared Goff needs to throw more in this matchup. I think there are going to be a few good chances that he hits Williams with a long bomb since he leads the team in aDOT.
