The Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars meet on Sunday morning in London at Wembley Stadium as part of the league’s International Series.
With Puka Nacua out, I’m eyeing Davante Adams to be busy, and he may just find the end zone. As for the Jags, Travis Etienne’s hot start gives optimism that he could collect a TD as well.
Read more for my Rams vs. Jaguars anytime touchdown picks for Sunday, October 19.
Rams anytime touchdown pick
Davante Adams (-115 at FanDuel)
Davante Adams has been a tremendous addition to the Los Angeles Rams’ WR room. He’s provided leadership and production for Sean McVay, and of course, has given QB Matthew Stafford another reliable weapon. Puka Nacua, who is WR1, remains sidelined for Week 7, so that means more targets for Adams.
The wideout has reeled in 26 receptions for 336 yards and a team-high three touchdowns so far. While he hasn’t found the end zone in two straight, he did have three consecutive TDs before that. Puka is obviously the main man for Los Angeles, and without him, that really opens up the workload for Adams.
Although Jacksonville is 4-2, its secondary isn’t great, ranking 29th in passing yards allowed. I’ll take Adams to make some noise and grab touchdown No. 4.
Jaguars anytime touchdown pick
Travis Etienne (+115 at FanDuel)
A huge part of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ impressive start has been the play of Travis Etienne. The running back is lighting it up on a weekly basis, averaging 5.3 yards per carry, including a pair of scores. He has those two touchdowns in the last four games. Etienne already has 89 carries, and it’s only Week 7.
He’s had at least 12 of them in Weeks 5 and 6. The Rams’ defense ranks 15th in the league in rushing yards allowed, arguably their biggest weakness defensively. Etienne is consistently doing damage, and he’s averaging 5.9 yards per carry on the road. It’s technically a road game for both, since it’s in London.
When he’s running the ball so well, it’s only a matter of time until Etienne gets a chance to put up his third TD. He’ll be busy on Sunday, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Clemson product touches dirt.
