Josh Inglis' TD pick: David Montgomery

Price: 54.5% at Kalshi

I bought this at 54.5% but have the fair price closer to 60%.

It's Week 1, and I want a layup to get on the board. I don't see many running backs as likely to score Sunday as David Montgomery.

The Buffalo Bills gave up a league-high 18 TDs to opposing running backs last year and are a worse unit this season after losing five starters and bringing in a new defensive scheme.

The Houston Texans were one of the worst teams near the goal line last season, and they'll make it a point to change that narrative this year with their new back. Montgomery should get the majority of the red-zone work, and Houston can flirt with four TDs.

Jon Metler's TD: Jaylen Waddle

Price: 30% at Kalshi

I'm playing Jaylen Waddle at 30% to score a touchdown, as I price him closer to 36%, giving us a clear edge in this market.

If you're an offensive genius like Sean Payton and you're willing to trade a first-round pick and additional draft capital to acquire Waddle, I'm sure you have a plan for how you're going to use him in the red zone.

I'd be stunned if Payton doesn't use his bigger targets, Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram, to create space for Waddle on a whip or crossing route in goal-line packages against the Kansas City Chiefs.

That could give Bo Nix an easy red-zone target and create a great opportunity for Waddle to find the end zone.

Jason Logan's TD pick: George Pickens

Price: 38% at Kalshi

George Pickens is already talking smack to the New York Giants secondary and can back it up on SNF. 

He rated out 10th among all WRs vs. zone coverage and will face plenty of that in East Rutherford. He struck for nine touchdowns in his first season with Dallas – six of which came versus zone defense.

Dak Prescott has shredded this Giants team in recent meetings and the G-Men have a very shoddy secondary.

I like Pickens to hit paydirt, playing this all the way up to 44%.

Joe Osborne's TD pick: Cade Otton

Price: 22% at Kalshi

Cade Otton quietly finished last season as Baker Mayfield’s second most targeted pass catcher.

Now he gets a spotty Cincinnati Bengals' defense that allowed the most receptions and touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. He’s hardly a prolific TD scorer, but this is an excellent matchup to find the end zone Sunday.

At 22%, he’s 100% worth the risk against this defense.
