Week 4 'MNF' touchdown targets: Two TD bets for Seahawks vs. Giants
We went 1-2 on our touchdown looks on Sunday, but Monday night offers a chance to end the week with a bang. Neither New York nor Seattle has shown much defense to start the season, and opportunity abounds to take some chances in the touchdown market.
I've got two looks, and have placed a half-unit on each to find the end zone tonight.
Zach Charbonnet (+290 FanDuel)
Let the record show: Kenneth Walker is the safer and more sound bet to make if you'd prefer that route, his best price, however, is only -110 on DraftKings.
He's priced there for good reason. The Giants have allowed rushing touchdowns each week en route to four total RB TDs to begin the season, tied for sixth-most in the NFL. Not only are they allowing touchdowns, New York is also getting gashed on the ground. Walker has scored two touchdowns in back-to-back games and has 14 red zone looks to begin the season.
With that established, I like a pivot to Seattle's backup, rookie Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet played the most snaps of his young career in Week 3 and looked good doing it, taking nine carries for 46 yards. He had some hard-nosed runs in the red zone as well and came close to hitting pay-dirt. While Walker's 13 red zone carries top the team, Charbonnet has five of his own, two of which have come inside the five.
It's only a matter of time before Charbonnet scores, and against this opponent, at this price, I'm willing to take a chance.
Darren Waller (+240 FanDuel)
Seattle's secondary has been a disaster to start the year, and their defense as a whole has been extremely generous to touchdowns, allowing 10 across three weeks. Now, none of those have come from tight ends, but they've still allowed five passing touchdowns, and I think we can view Waller through a more holistic lens rather than bucket him into a position.
Waller is getting reps all across the offensive formation, he's leading the team in targets and yards, and he's played 86% of the snaps over the past two weeks.
In an extremely crowded WR room, I prefer looking to the pass-catching Waller, who is still searching for his first touchdown as a Giant.
Year-to-date: 6-15 (-0.37u)
