Doing a deep dive into the Week 16 NFL player props could allow you to find several advantageous plays in regards to NFL anytime TD bets. Several big-name players have plus-money prop odds to score this weekend, including Justin Jefferson, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley and Travis Kelce. With +115 NFL prop odds, Jefferson is just the fourth-favorite to score in the Vikings vs. Lions game despite Detroit's porous secondary. Only three teams have allowed more TDs to WRs this year than the Lions, who've given up 10 touchdowns to wideouts over the last six games.

Meanwhile, Henry faces a Seahawks defense that's allowed the second-most touchdowns to running backs in 2023. A key component in generating a profit with NFL props is identifying positive NFL betting trends like these. Before making any NFL touchdown prop bets, you need to see the Week 16 NFL prop predictions from SportsLine expert Griffin Carroll.

When betting touchdown parlays in the NFL, it can be best to wager at a lower unit size and consider betting all parlay legs straight as well. The TD market is both electrifying and frustrating, but few things are as satisfying as seeing your player hit pay-dirt, making it one of Carroll's favorite weekly traditions.

Carroll dives into the touchdown market, along with other plus-money NFL props, on a weekly basis, targeting volume players and the most vulnerable defenses in the league. He tends to focus on total touchdowns allowed to each position, defenses allowing the most explosive plays and every player's usage stats from snaps to red zone work to find his favorite bets of the weekend. The approach has paid out in a big way before in the parlay market with a nearly 400-1 hit earlier this season.

In Week 14, Carroll won a three-leg touchdown parlay as D.J. Moore, Deebo Samuel and Alvin Kamara all scored to hit a 9-1 NFL TD parlay.

For Week 16 NFL prop predictions, Carroll has evaluated the anytime touchdown scorer odds and locked in his NFL TD prop picks. You can only see Carroll's Week 16 prop predictions here.

Top anytime touchdown scorer prop picks for Week 16

After analyzing the Week 16 NFL touchdown odds, Carroll is backing Bears quarterback Justin Fields to score a rushing touchdown at +135 odds. The Bears have taken a more conservative approach with their offense recently, leaning more on Fields' legs than his arm. He's averaging 62 fewer passing yards, but 21 more rushing yards, over his last five games compared to his previous five. This strategy won't change in Week 16 against the Cardinals, who are a solid 13th against the pass but 31st versus the run.

Fields ran in a touchdown two weeks ago, and he has nine redzone carries over his last four games. That is more redzone rushing attempts than all Bears running backs have combined over that stretch, and Fields' usage inside the 20-yard-line is especially pertinent for this week. Sixteen of the 17 rushing TDs that Arizona has conceded have come in the redzone, with four of them being by quarterbacks. Also, Arizona was officially eliminated from playoff contention last week so motivation could be a factor, while the still-alive Bears should lean on one of their best assets in Fields' running ability. See more NFL TD props here.
