Los Angeles Chargers best touchdown scorer bet: Austin Ekeler (+110)
The Chargers offense is struggling mightily this season, especially when it comes to generating explosive plays. Justin Herbert is having to continually throw checkdowns, the receiving core is rash with injuries and the play calling has been questionable to say the least. However, Austin Ekeler continues to be an extremely reliable option at the running back position. Ekeler’s strengths are perfect for this offense, as he can both run between the tackles and make plays on the outside in the passing game. Given the injuries to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Ekeler figures to have another massive role in the Chargers offensive game plan on Sunday. Seeing as Ekeler has a touchdown in the last 5 games for Los Angeles, I love the fact that we’re getting a plus-money price on him to find the end zone once again.
