# NFL Anytime Touchdown Picks: Week 5

Every skill-position player is scored on the two things that actually drive an anytime touchdown: how often they touch the ball inside the red zone, and how reliably that has turned into scores. No odds, no guesswork, just the usage and the rate. Here are the Week 5 plays.

Nobody on the Lions sees the goal line like Jahmyr Gibbs: 2.8 touches a game inside the 10, which has already produced a touchdown in 100% of his games. That is exactly the usage you want in a TD prop.

*TD Score 55 · 5.8 RZ touches/G · 4.3 inside-10/G · 7 TD this season*

Derrick Henry lives at the goal line for the Ravens. His 4.3 touches a game inside the 10 are the reason he has scored in 100% of his games, and it is the kind of role that repeats week to week.

## Mike Gesicki, Bengals TE

*TD Score 44 · 4.3 RZ touches/G · 2.0 inside-10/G · 6 TD this season*

Jonathan Taylor lives at the goal line for the Colts. His 2.0 touches a game inside the 10 are the reason he has scored in 75% of his games, and it is the kind of role that repeats week to week.

## Before You Lock

Touchdowns are volatile, so treat this as a shortlist, not a lock sheet. Confirm the player is active and in his usual role, since a healthy backfield or a change at quarterback can move red-zone touches fast. Check the game total: more expected points means more trips to the red zone and more shots at a score. The board is ranked on season-long role and rate, which is the repeatable signal, so pair it with this week's news before you bet.
