The undefeated Miami Dolphins have a chance to make another major statement on Thursday Night Football when they take on last year’s AFC Champions, the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Miami already upset the Buffalo Bills in Week 3, and Mike McDaniel’s group may be for real with one of the best receiver duos in the NFL. We have plenty of star wideouts in this game between Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Jaylen Waddle. 

If you’re thinking of betting on this game, why not bet on a few players to score a touchdown? It’s one of the most exhilarating ways to watch and bet on the NFL, and I have three players to consider for Thursday's primetime action. 

Best Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Dolphins vs. Bengals

  • Jaylen Waddle (+150)
  • Chase Edmonds (+195)
  • Ja’Marr Chase (-105)

Jaylen Waddle (+150)

This feels like a major value on Jaylen Waddle, who has three scores through the first three games of the season, and he’s been targeted 30 times so far, making 19 catches. 

Tyreek Hill, who has two scores this season, is sitting at +120 to score, but he has two games without a score in 2022 to Waddle’s one. 

Tua Tagovailoa loves looking Waddle’s way, and if this game turns into a shootout, both Miami receivers could certainly score. For what it’s worth, BetMGM has Waddle at +100 to score, os +150 at FanDuel is a solid value. 

Chase Edmonds (+195)

Chase Edmonds’ role has been reduced significantly since Week 1, as he’s received 11 carries over the last two weeks after getting 12 in the season opener. 

Still, Edmonds was the preferred option in the red zone against Buffalo, scoring two touchdowns on his six carries. Edmonds is also a threat through the air, so you have a few ways he can score on Thursday.  

Ja’Marr Chase (-105)

Ja’Marr Chase is a target hog, receiving 35 through the first three games of the season and catching 21 passes. 

Chase had a down performance in Week 3, catching six balls for just 29 yards, but he still scored his second touchdown of the season. There is just a different volume for Chase compared to Tee Higgins and Tylr Boyd in this offense. He’s worth a bet to score Thursday against a beatable Dolphins secondary.
