NFL Week 3 Touchdown Scorer Best Bets
Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season began with some usual suspects finding the end zone, as Buffalo defeated Miami 31-21 on Thursday Night Football. Among the touchdown scorers were James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Now it’s time to focus on the remaining schedule, trying to identify which guys will put six points on the scoreboard for their respective teams. Let's take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to make for Week 3.

PICK #1: Chase Brown (CIN) Anytime TD Scorer (-125)
Cincinnati could become more of a run-heavy team now that starting quarterback Joe Burrow is out for at least three months following toe surgery. Brown was already getting plenty of work even with Burrow on the field, logging 37 total carries in the first two games, in addition to catching four of six targets. The Illinois product scored one touchdown against Cleveland in Week 1.
Brown now has a favorable matchup this weekend in Minnesota, as the Vikings are second-to-last in rushing defense at 168.5 yards per contest. Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson carved them up for 143 yards last weekend and Tyler Allgeier scored a touchdown. All signs point to Brown having a big day for fantasy owners and the Bengals.
PICK #2: Jake Ferguson (DAL) Anytime TD Scorer (+240)
Ferguson has been targeted by Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott 18 times already this year. The tight end out of Wisconsin has turned those into 14 receptions for 101 yards. Ferguson has not yet found the endzone, but with that kind of value, it’s only a matter of time before he reaches paydirt.
A matchup with the Bears gives Ferguson a prime opportunity. Chicago allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to tight ends last season, and it watched Detroit backup TE Brock Wright find the endzone once during last week’s onslaught by the Lions. The Bears rank No. 23 against the pass so far this season and have already given up a ridiculous seven touchdowns through the air. No other team in the NFL other than Miami (which has played three games as opposed to just two) has surrendered more than five passing TDs.
PICK #3: Drake London (ATL) First TD Scorer (+850)
London was the first touchdown scorer four times last season. The Falcons’ top wide receiver scored in eight different games during the 2024 campaign and found the endzone nine times in total. Guess which opponent he victimized twice. That’s right – the Panthers, whom he faces again on Sunday. In the 2024 season finale, London torched Carolina to the tune of 10 receptions on 18 targets for 187 yards and two scores. In the first meeting of the year, the USC product made six catches on 10 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown.
There is no reason to think that London will slow down in this rematch. Michael Penix Jr. is under center for Atlanta – just as he was in Week 17 of last season – and the former Washington standout already has a great rapport with London. Darnell Mooney is back from a shoulder injury but may not be 100 percent, so Penix should target London early and often this weekend. Meanwhile, the first offensive touchdown in each of the Panthers’ first two games came on a pass by the opposing team. That bodes well for London and the Falcons.
