Zay Flowers Anytime TD (+165) -- Peter Dewey
The touchdown train keeps rolling! After failing to hit my pick in Week 6, I cashed a Tucker Kraft pick in Week 7 for my fifth winner in seven weeks. Not too bad!
This week, I’m targeting one of the top receivers in the NFL in the marquee matchup of the day on Sunday afternoon.
Baltimore Ravens star Zay Flowers has been one of the best receivers in the NFL this season, catching 40 of his 53 targets (in six games) for 608 yards and three scores. Flowers has three games with double-digit targets, and he’s by far the No. 1 option in this passing game heading into this clash with the Buffalo Bills.
Now, with Lamar Jackson expected to return from an ankle injury, Flowers should get a major boost against a Buffalo defense that ranks dead last in the league in EPA/Play, though it is coming off a bye.
Buffalo’s pass defense is one of the worst in the league, ranking 29th in EPA/Pass while allowing 15 passing scores. Opposing wide receivers have torched the Bills, scoring 11 touchdowns across six games – the most allowed to the position in the NFL.
It’s hard to find a better matchup for Flowers, who is averaging over 100 yards per game and has caught at least five passes in every matchup. Since these teams combined for 81 points the last time they played (in 2025), I’d expect another up-and-down matchup with a ton of offensive possessions for both sides.
Flowers has simply been too effective in space, and he has the fourth-highest target share in the NFL this season. That puts him in a great spot to find the end zone for the second week in a row.
Michael Wilson Anytime Touchdown (+180) – Iain MacMillan
You might be surprised to find out that Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals has seen the eighth most targets amongst all NFL pass catchers this season with 66.
That's more than the likes of Drake London, Christian Watson, Puka Nacua and George Pickens. Despite that, he's found the end zone just once.
It's time for him to score his second touchdown of the season as he and the Cardinals take on arguably the worst secondary in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys rank in the bottom three in virtually every single pass defense metric, and they've already allowed seven touchdowns to opposing wide receivers.
That makes Wilson a great bet to score on Sunday at +180.
