What’s better than placing bets on a particular player to score? Anytime that team is in the red zone, it enhances your viewing pleasure as you yell for them to get the ball to your guy so you can cash the bet. Last week, we cashed multiple plus-money touchdown picks! Today we’re breaking down some of my favorites to cross the goal line in Week 5. Let’s take a look at my top picks for the NFL Week 5 anytime touchdown bets!
2026 NFL Week 5 Anytime Touchdown Bets!
Emanuel Wilson (-115)
If you look on paper, my first anytime touchdown bet for Week 5 doesn’t have a huge stat line. All year, he’s had 53 carries for 190 yards, one rushing touchdown, and three catches for 39 yards and a receiving touchdown. However, last week we saw that role grow with Jadarian Price out.
Wilson had 21 carries for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle has injuries all over their backfield. Despite bringing in Robert Henry Jr. off the Commanders’ practice squad, this will be Wilson’s backfield.
He just had two touchdowns last week. Now he goes against the 49ers in a rivalry game. I expect him to have 15 to 20 carries again, and -115 may be a little juiced, but I’m taking it.
Bhayshul Tuten (+100)
Bhayshul Tuten is the lead dog in the Jaguars’ backfield. Through four games, he has 60 carries for 277 yards and two rushing touchdowns, plus seven catches for 54 yards. He’s had 15, 13, 15, and 17 carries and has scored in two of his last three games.
Jacksonville heads to London to take on an Eagles defense that has allowed seven rushing touchdowns. They’re also allowing close to 122 rushing yards per week. That’s what makes this play such an appealing anytime touchdown bet for Week 5. The volume will be there. The travel overseas can sometimes cause the game to slow down a little and for teams to rely on the run.
At even money, Tuten is a smash spot to score.
George Kittle (+185)
I’ll jump back to the Seattle vs. 49ers rivalry game for the next touchdown play. We all know George Kittle. He’s been one of the league’s most productive tight ends as far as touchdowns go. He already has 16 catches on 22 targets for 244 yards and four touchdowns. He’s also scored in three straight games.
Kittle has five red-zone targets this year. Brock Purdy continues to look his way near the goal line, and this will be a big game for both Seattle and the 49ers. I expect it to be highly competitive and for each team to rely on their best players.
Kittle gave the Seattle defense high praise leading up to this week. That’s why we’re getting +185 and not a lower number. However, that’s okay, because Kittle remains one of the top tight ends when healthy. One red zone look and this one will cash for us.
Mike Gesicki (+250)
The next Week 5 anytime touchdown bet is Mike Gesicki. He has three touchdowns on 11 catches for 155 yards. However, he’s scored in every game that he has been targeted. He led Cincinnati’s tight ends in snaps last week. Ja’Marr Chase may miss the game with a concussion. Tee Higgins is dealing with an adductor issue that will leave him limited, at best. Therefore, Gesicki will need to be targeted by Burrow.
The Dolphins are currently sitting at 0-4. They’ve allowed 25.3 points per game and seven passing touchdowns. At +250, this is a bet on a tight end who already has a touchdown in three of four weeks. We’re not asking him to be a top-volume receiver. We’re just asking him to get targeted at the end zone, which I think he will be.
Roschon Johnson (+500)
This price says this is a long shot. It’s not. I know Johnson only has four carries for 16 yards this year. However, Kyle Monangai is out due to a toe injury. D’Andre Swift is the starter, but he’s been dealing with hip and knee issues. That moves Roschon Johnson to the number two spot against a bad Green Bay run defense.
Two years ago, in life before Kyle Monangai, Johnson had six rushing touchdowns in limited action. Green Bay just let Bijan Robinson have 194 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns a couple of weeks ago. Johnson came in after Swift fumbled last week. Now he’ll come in to spell Swift, and I think this Bears team is going to want to run the ball.
At +500, despite everything I’ve said about Roschon on Old-Fashioned Football, I think you have to take this. Might as well take two touchdowns at 30/1 as well.
