When it comes to betting on the NFL, few markets provide more fun — and more importantly, higher upside in terms of payout — than Anytime Touchdowns.
It’s hard to beat the thrill of seeing a player you’ve backed find the paint and deciding what you will do with the winnings as your guy hits his touchdown dance.
No more throat-clearing — below are our best Anytime TD bets for NFL Week 5, starting with our first early-morning game of the 2024 campaign in London.
Jordan Addison Anytime TD (+290) FanDuel
New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings, 9:30 a.m. ET
Let’s get the party started with a big swing on the No. 2 receiver opposite unstoppable Vikings star Justin Jefferson. Sam Darnold is on fire so far this year, and he’s mostly gotten it done with Jefferson and second-stringers elsewhere in the passing game, as TE T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison have spent most of this season on the sidelines.
Addison played in just his second game of the year last Sunday, and he came through with three catches for 72 yards and a touchdown as the Packers struggled to cover not only Jefferson, but also Addison. The former Pitt Panther and USC Trojan was a touchdown machine a year ago, with 10 of his grabs as a rookie first-rounder going for scores.

One of every seven catches being a touchdown will be difficult for Addison to maintain this year. Over an admittedly tiny two-game sample size, though, he’s so far remained a reliable red zone threat (2 games played, 8 targets, 6 catches, 107 yards, 1 TD).
With Jets CB Sauce Gardner as capable as anyone of at least limiting Jefferson, Darnold should be looking Addison’s way in the red zone today, making him a worthy play, especially at nearly 3-to-1 odds over at FD.
