The New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals are both extremely banged up heading into Thursday Night Football, as Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry are both out and could be joined by several other names. 

Does that give us some value in anytime touchdown props? It does if you’re willing to take a stab at a lesser known player. Here are three picks that I’m considering for Thursday night’s contents: 

Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Saints vs. Cardinals 

  • Alvin Kamara (+115)
  • Keontay Ingram (+450)
  • Chris Olave (+190)

Alvin Kamara (+115)

Alvin Kamara has seen a ton of volume over the last two weeks for the Saints, and he could be due to score in Week 7 against Arizona. 

Kamara has yet to score a touchdown this season, mainly because Taysom Hill stays vulturing rushing scores, but if Jameis Winston returns in Week 7, Kamara should be the primary back handling red zone touches. 

Keontay Ingram (+450)

Keontay Ingram could be a sneaky play in this game, as James Conner and Darrel Williams both have not practiced this week and Eno Benjamin has been limited. 

Ingram is the next man up on the depth chart, and he did see three touches in Week 6, picking up seven yards. Ingram only played nine snaps, but he may be forced into action if Benjamin can’t go or is limited. 

Chris Olave (+190)

Prior to missing Week 6 with a concussion, Chris Olave had scored in back-to-back games for the Saints. 

Olave is an extremely talented receiver, and he’s seen 39 targets in his four games since Week 1. The Saints have to throw the ball to someone, and Olave is the No. 1 option by a landslide on Thursday night. 

Not only will the volume be there, but Olave is taking on an Arizona pass defense that has allowed the 10th most yards in the NFL this season, so don’t be shocked if he racks up plenty of catches. 

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
