The NFL enters Week 8, facing challenges including injuries affecting several prominent players.
Many stars have missed games due to these injuries, complicating matters for fantasy football enthusiasts and impacting betting decisions for anytime touchdown betting.
Below is a list of players who are poised to score this week, along with their odds from the BetMGM online sportsbook:
**Running Back**
**Aaron Jones, Vikings, -115**
Minnesota Vikings’ running back Aaron Jones demonstrated resilience against the Detroit Lions as he racked up 93 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, putting concerns over his hamstring injury to rest.
His upcoming match on Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams looks promising, as the Rams have been vulnerable to rushing attacks, allowing an average of 151.7 yards per game, ranking third in the league.
**Javonte Williams, Broncos**
Williams stands to benefit from the Denver Broncos’ matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who lead the league in rushing touchdowns allowed as of Week 7.
As the Broncos’ leading back, Williams brings a tally of 73 carries for 301 yards and two touchdowns. Expect a strong showing from him this Sunday in Denver.
**Jordan Mason, 49ers**
After an explosive start with three touchdowns in the first four games, San Francisco 49ers’ Jordan Mason has been held scoreless for the past three weeks.
With the opportunity to change this against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, Mason will aim to capitalize against a defense that has been generous, allowing the second-most rushing touchdowns in the league.
**Wide Receiver**
**Cooper Kupp, Rams, +125**
Cooper Kupp is set to return from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2 during the Rams’ encounter with the Vikings on Thursday Night Football.
Several favorable factors are aligning for Kupp, as Minnesota’s defense gives up the second-fewest rushing yards per game (80), suggesting a shift towards a heavier passing game.
Furthermore, Kupp has been the subject of trade discussions, possibly boosting his target share as the Rams look to showcase his health.
**Romeo Doubs, Packers**
With numerous injuries hitting the receiving corps of the Green Bay Packers, Romeo Doubs is expected to see more targets against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jaguars have surrendered the highest number of passing touchdowns leading into Week 8. Doubs is coming off two impressive performances, including eight receptions for 94 yards in the previous game against Houston and two touchdowns in the week before against Arizona.
**Tyreek Hill, Dolphins**
The Miami Dolphins anticipate the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, which can significantly enhance their offensive performance in the Sunday game against the Arizona Cardinals, who are facing a short week.
Despite Tyreek Hill’s struggles to find the end zone since Week 1 and a relatively quiet outing last week with just one catch, Tagovailoa’s presence will likely increase Hill’s opportunities as the top receiver on the squad.
This overview provides a glimpse into the expected performances of various players as the NFL navigates this week’s matchups amidst injury challenges.
