By Ben Heisler
Week 6 in the NFL got off to a rip-roaring start for three of our weekly "anytime touchdown scorer bets!
Peter Dewey, Reed Wallach and Iain MacMillan all cashed on their plays in the early slate of games, paying the way to a fourth consecutive week where at least one member of the team cashed.
This Sunday, we're targeting a few slightly more under-the-radar plays relative to the week before, and all of them line up at wide receiver. One of them has a chance to be the first repeat "Sunday Six" anytime touchdown winner of the season!
Here are our "Sunday Six" selections in the NFL for Week 7, plus the latest up-to-date odds available for each player:

Best Anytime Touchdown Picks For Week 7
Christian Kirk - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Giants
Christian Kirk has had a quiet few weeks for the Jaguars, which makes him the perfect candidate in a buy-low spot against the Giants. Let’s not forget that he already has four touchdowns on the season, and he hauled in six catches in each of his first three games.
Now he and the Jaguars get to face a Giants team that’s giving up 1.2 passing touchdowns per game.
Kirk will get plenty of opportunities this week, and I think he’s a great bet to find the end zone at +170. - Iain MacMillan

Allen Lazard - Green Bay Packers at Washington Commanders
The Green Bay Packers need to get their offense going, and the one consistent pass catcher in the team’s receiving corps has been Allen Lazard.
Lazard has scored in three of his four appearances this season, including back-to-back weeks. With Randall Cobb injured, I expect Lazard and Robert Tonyan to be the security blankets for Aaron Rodgers down the field.
The Washington Commanders have allowed 12 passing touchdowns this season, tied for the second most this season. I love Lazard to get in the end zone in what should be a bounce-back game for Green Bay. – Peter DeweyÂ

David Njoku - Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens
The Jacoby Brissett era of Cleveland Browns football will eventually come to an end, but tight end David Njoku may fight for his current quarterback to stick around as long as humanly possible.Â
Over the past four weeks, no tight end in the NFL has more receiving yards than Njoku, averaging a whopping 77 per game along with seven targets.
The Action Network’s Giles Gallant also astutely points out that the Ravens rank bottom-5 in touchdowns allowed to tight ends this year, along with ranking fourth in red zone targets at the position.
This is great value for a quarterback’s best friend in the passing game that’s seeing as much volume all over the field and in the red zone as anyone, all at nearly 3-4-times the odds. - Ben Heisler
Cade Otton - Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolinadoc Panthers
With Cameron Brate out due to a concussion, Otton has become the TE1 for a Tampa Bay offense in need of a spark. The rookie from Washington has been in on more than 53% of team snaps this season and has target counts of 2, 4, 7 and 3 in his last four games. The Bucs are in Carolina to take on the Panthers, who have begun their fire sale and could be in for a long afternoon and little effort.
With a potential blowout in store, I expect Brady to look to spread the ball around and get the rookie his first career touchdown.A TE1 in a Tom Brady offense shouldn't be north of +300, even if he doesn't have a touchdown grab yet. - Reed Wallach

George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Kittle has yet to find the end zone this year, but that won’t last long especially at the target volume he is starting to get.
Last week against Atlanta, Kittle saw 10 targets from Jimmy G. and reeled in 8 catches for 83 yards; by far his best game of the season.
Kittle's production has been on a steady climb throughout the four games he’s been on the field. Even if he doesn’t get a red zone target, the KC defense isn’t exactly known for stellar tackling, so he could find a way into the end zone on a long catch and run. - Josh Yourish
Breece Hall - New York Jets vs Denver Broncos
Hall has a TD in three straight games as he's suddenly one of the NFL's most dominant running backs. Just a rookie, Hall is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and 11.5 yards per catch while receiving at least 19 touches each of the last three weeks.
The Broncos allow the fourth-most receptions to running backs per game (6.2), so Hall will have ample opportunity to cash in as the focal point of New York's offense.
In his last two games, Hall has 319 yards on 42 touches and a pair of scores. Even against a strong defense in Denver's, +140 odds are way too large for a player of Hall's skillset and usage. - Joe Summers
