Texans vs Colts anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jonathan Taylor (+105)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Jonathan Taylor and Anthony Richardson barely had time to gel together last season due to Richardson’s shoulder injury in Week 5 ending his season – the first week that Taylor returned. The dynamic duo is bound to be a problem for opposing defenses, especially in the run game. Richardson will have his fair share of designed runs in Week 1 against the Texans. The books have his rushing attempts line set at 9.5. But we’re turning to Taylor to find the endzone at +105 on DraftKings.
Taylor found the endzone eight times last season, including one against the Texans in Week 18, where Taylor ran for 188 yards. When Taylor finally found his footing last season, he averaged over 99 yards per game and a touchdown in his final eight games. With no Zack Moss to potentially vulture red zone carries, Taylor has a great chance to find the endzone in Week 1 in this AFC South showdown against the Texans as 2.5-point underdogs on the road.
