Jahmyr Gibbs Week 18 Anytime Touchdown (DET vs MIN)

• The odds are juiced way up for Gibbs to score at any point in a game with a lofty total. He’s become a true workhorse back in a prolific offense with David Montgomery (knee) out, scoring in four straight games while handling 17 red zone touches in those contests. Gibbs is a threat as a runner and a receiver with the third-most receiving yards (486) among running backs this season. He leads all backs in Expected Points Added and is talented enough to produce regardless of the game script, or the Vikings game plan if Brian Flores decides to stack the line of scrimmage in an attempt to take away the run. 

Justin Jefferson Week 18 Anytime Touchdown (MIN @ DET)

• Jefferson and Jordan Addison (+125 to score an anytime touchdown) draw a fantastic matchup for their season finale and it would be shocking if one or both doesn’t find the end zone against an injury-riddled Lions defense. The Lions have 10 players on IR in their front seven, leading to a weak pass rush. They have three cornerbacks injured, including top coverage man Carlton Davis (jaw), who would be tasked with trying to contain Jefferson. Detroit plays man-to-man coverage at the highest rate in the NFL and has shown no tendency to adjust in recent meetings with the Vikings, allowing Jefferson to average 9 receptions for 159.3 yards with three touchdowns over his last four games against Detroit. 

Amon-Ra St. Brown Week 18 Anytime Touchdown (DET vs MIN)

• The Vikings have no answers for St. Brown on the interior. They did a great job on Jameson Williams in their last meeting, but allowed Amon-Ra to catch eight balls for 112 yards and a touchdown, raising his averages to 9 receptions for 120.7 yards with three touchdowns over his last three matchups against Minnesota. St. Brown was excellent in three playoff games last January and this contest has the same stakes with the top seed on the line. The Vikings have allowed the second-most yards and fifth-most touchdowns to wide receivers this season. 

Sam LaPorta Week 18 Anytime Touchdown (DET vs MIN)

• While he hasn’t seen reliable targets between the 20s, LaPorta has emerged as a consistent weapon in the red zone during the second half of the season. The second-year tight end has scored five touchdowns over his last eight appearances with multiple red zone targets in five of his last six outings. The Vikings defense is generally aggressive with blitz packages and blitzes against the run, leaving them vulnerable to quick play-action passes to a tight end.
