Top TD Picks: Travis Kelce , Tyler Warren
We’re all set for an intriguing Week 2 Sunday Night Football between the Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are coming off a blowout win over the Denver Broncos. Kenneth Walker looked fantastic in his Chiefs debut, so he’s obviously priced up for this game, especially with Kansas City as 6.5-point favorites. It sets up as a favorable game script for Walker, but we’re going to look for value with the pass-catchers.

Travis Kelce Touchdown Odds
Travis Kelce had a rock-solid season last year, catching 76-of-108 targets for 851 yards and five touchdowns. He put up five catches for 71 yards against the Broncos in Week 1.
The key with our play here is that we’re trying to avoid Kenneth Walker, since he’s a bit overpriced. So the hope here is that the Chiefs get stuffed on the ground on the red zone. In that scenario, Kelce would be the top option next to Rashee Rice.
We can get Kelce at +185 odds at the time of this article. That’s a nice value on one of the top targets in a high-scoring offense. The Chiefs have a 26.5-point total, so they’re projected to score 3+ touchdowns. We’ll take our chances on Kelce finding pay dirt in this one.
Tyler Warren Touchdown Odds
Tyler Warren had an impressive rookie season, catching 76-of-112 targets for 817 yards and four touchdowns. While he had a quiet game against the Ravens with 13 yards, but he still scored a touchdown.
The play here is trying to find an undervalued Colts player. Sure, Jonathan Taylor is the most likely scorer, but we’re trying to find better return on investment. So we’ll go with one of the top pass-catchers on the Colts.
Warren is currently priced at +235 odds at the time of this article, which is an appealing price. It’s likely that the Colts are going to play from behind in this game, which means that they may need to air it out more than usual. With that in mind, we’ll ride with Warren to find an end zone.
