The Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings have big shoes to fill after last week's Sunday Night Football spectacle.
Although we aren't in for another 80-point shootout, we should still see plenty of action in Minnesota, particularly from Michael Penix Jr. and Justin Jefferson.
Here are my Falcons vs. Vikings anytime touchdown picks for September 14. For more scoring props, take a look at Josh Inglis' anytime touchdown picks for the rest of the Week 2 slate!
Falcons anytime touchdown pick
Michael Penix Jr. (+700 at FanDuel)
I can't believe this price. We're getting +700 for a guy who rushed six times last week and showed no fear in using his legs when needed — resulting in a touchdown against the Buccaneers while doing his best "Michael Jordan in Space Jam" impersonation.
The Buccaneers blitzed 10 times last week, similar to the 11 times Caleb Williams was blitzed by the Minnesota Vikings on MNF.
The result? Williams' first career touchdown on six carries for 58 yards. Williams was able to beat the pressure more often than not, and I expect a similar outcome for Michael Penix Jr.
Despite the 10 blitzes, Penix was only sacked once and was pressured on just 10.6% of his dropbacks. We know Flores will bring the pressure, but I believe the O-line will do enough to allow the Falcons' QB to scramble and find the end zone for another TD — and this time it'll be more than just the tip.

Vikings anytime touchdown pick
Justin Jefferson (+105 at FanDuel)
Plus money for Justin Jefferson to score a TD? Shut up and take my money!
A piss-poor half from J.J. McCarthy left Jefferson fantasy owners pulling their hair out, but a second-half resurgence showered light on what was turning out to be a pitiful NFL debut for the supposed "franchise QB".
Jefferson didn't have the craziest game, but he still led the target share with seven, with one of his four receptions coming in the end zone.
The former LSU product should have no issues getting open against an Atlanta Falcons' secondary that gave up two TDs to rookie Emeka Egbuka, and I expect McCarthy to link up with his WR1 for another score on Sunday.
