Ravens vs. Brown’s Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Pick for NFL Week 8 (Target Tight En

Ravens vs. Brown’s Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Pick for NFL Week 8 (Target Tight En

The Baltimore Ravens have won five straight games and sit atop the AFC North heading into a Week 8 rivalry matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland lost quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season to a torn Achilles tendon in Week 7, and veteran Jameis Winston will start for the team in Week 8.

Winston can actually improve an offense that has struggled under Watson, but can he compete with a Ravens team that ranks No. 1 in the NFL in yards per play and No. 3 in points scored?

Baltimore’s offense has been money in the market for all-time touchdown scorers – so much so that running back Derrick Henry is -295 (!!) to find the end zone this week.

While I won’t get into that number, I do have three players that bettors should consider targeting in Week 8.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

David Njoku Always TD (+245)

Amari Cooper is now a Buffalo Bill, and David Njoku is the biggest beneficiary of that in Cleveland’s passing attack.

In Week 7, with Watson, Winston and Dorian Thomps-Robinson all seeing time under center, Njoku saw a season-high 14 goals, hauling in 10 for 76 yards and a score.

Injuries limited Njoku to just four games this season, but he thrived last season when Watson went down and Joe Flacco took over at quarterback. Is the same thing happening to Winston?

At +245, Njoku is a huge asset in this market considering his usage last week.

Mark Andrews Anytime TD (+185)

Is Mark Andrews back?

After a slow start to the 2024 season, the veteran tight end has found the end zone three times in the past two weeks, catching seven passes.

Andrews had just six catches in his first four games, but since then he has made 11 catches on 13 targets while playing more than 50 percent of the team’s snaps in each game.

Andrews may no longer be the elite tight end he once was — especially with the Ravens managing his reps — but he still has a solid connection with Lamar Jackson.

At almost +200, Andrews is worth a try to find the end zone for the third straight game.

Lamar Jackson Anytime TD (+125)

The MVP favorite, Lamar Jackson, had a rushing touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. He hasn’t found the end zone on the ground in three weeks, but I saw that change on Sunday.

In two games against the Browns last season, Jackson had 68 rushing yards and a pair of scores, although both touchdowns came in the same game.

The Ravens have Henry to rely on, but if the Browns sell out to slow him down, it gives Jackson the opportunity to make options plays.

I like the plus-money quarterback in what could be another high-scoring showing from Baltimore.
