Giants anytime touchdown pick
Theo Johnson (+260 at bet365)
Injuries have piled up all year for the New York Giants' offense, and that has resulted in tight end Theo Johnson boasting a team-leading 30% target rate in the red zone.
Johnson was targeted twice in the RZ last week against Detroit, and he's been one of Jaxson Dart's favorite weapons inside the 20s. From Weeks 4 through 10, with Dart starting, Johnson caught four touchdown passes from the rookie pivot.
Receivers Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are both listed as questionable for this prime-time matchup, and with Dart returning under center on MNF, Johnson will be in line to reap the benefits in Foxborough.

Patriots anytime touchdown pick
TreVeyon Henderson (-115 at bet365)
Despite starting the season as RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, TreVeyon Henderson has established himself as the lead back for the New England Patriots.
After Stevenson missed three straight games with turf toe starting in Week 9, Henderson has averaged 16.3 carries over his past four contests, boasting multi-score outings against the Buccaneers and Jets.
Week 12 saw Henderson log 19 first-half snaps compared to Stevenson's nine, and the former Ohio State standout will feast on a Giants defense that is allowing a league-worst 5.9 yards per rushing attempt.
Henderson currently sports a team-leading six touchdowns on the season, with five of them coming over his last three games. He’s also been targeted nine times through the air during that stretch, and I expect him to keep the production rolling at home.
