Top TD Picks: Malik Nabers & Colby Parkinson
We’re all set for an intriguing Week 2 Monday Night Football between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are coming off an impressive win at home over the Cowboys, where Jaxson Dart was terrific. The Rams are trying to bounce back after their surprising blowout loss against the 49ers in Australia. The good news for the Rams is that Aaron Donald will be making his return for this game.

Malik Nabers Touchdown Odds
Malik Nabers looked good in his return to action in Week 1. Despite it being his first game returning from a torn ACL, Nabers looked pretty healthy. He ended up with six catches for 69 yards.
I like taking Nabers here because we’re getting a top target at a +190 price. Don’t be surprised if the Giants keep this one close, as the Rams have to adjust to returning from Australia. It could turn into a shootout, as highlighted by the 47.5-point total.
The Giants have a 20.5 point team total in this one, so they’re projected to score around three touchdowns. Given how cheap Nabers is compared to other skill players in this game, he jumps off the page as a value. As an added bonus, the Giants should be forced to the air more often, as they’re seven-point underdogs. A more pass-heavy game script bodes well for this prop.
Colby Parkinson Touchdown Odds
The Rams are likely to be playing without Puka Nacua in this game, as the latest report indicates that he’s trending downward for this matchup. That means that a lot of their pass-catchers could be in line for more targets. The obvious choice of the main beneficiary of Puka’s absence is Davante Adams, but he’s too expensive, currently priced at -130 odds.
That’s why I’m looking at Colby Parkinson to find better value. The Rams tight end had eight touchdowns last year. This team loves to run multiple-TE sets, so don’t worry about other tight ends like Terrance Ferguson, since they’re often on the field together.
In a game where the Rams have a 27.5-point team total, where they’re projected to score four touchdowns, it’s the right spot to take a shot on Parkinson.
