Injuries create opportunities for other players to step up and fill a void. In the case of the Philadelpiha Eagles, the injury to DeVonta Smith only increases the opportunities A.J. Brown was likely to have regardless.
The Eagles ruled Smith out with a hamstring injury for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed 13 touchdowns to wideouts this year. That's tied for fourth-most in the NFL.
That only makes it more likely Hurts leans on his No. 1 Brown, who hasn't scored since Week 7. His anytime touchdown prop is among our best for Week 12. All odds are via BetMGM.
A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles (+110) at Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have been strong against the run lately, so if the Eagles want to reach the end zone, they may have to do it through the air and hope Brown can snap a four-game touchdown drought.
Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers (+190) vs. Baltimore Ravens

Johnston doesn't get a ton of targets in this run-heavy offense, but over a quarter of his catches have been for touchdowns, including a score in three straight games.
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs (+115) at Carolina Panthers

No team has allowed more TDs to tight ends this season than the Panthers. Kelce has two scores in his last four games.
Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions (+155) at Indianapolis Colts

LaPorta is back from injury just in time to face a Colts defense that tight ends have torched for the third-most receptions on the season.
Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants (+150)

If the Giants crack the end zone Sunday, it's hard to expect it'll be because of Tommy DeVito in his first start of the season. Tracy is dominating touches for this team.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tennessee Titans (+400)
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - NOVEMBER 03: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine #15 of the Tennessee Titans celebrates a receiving touchdown with teammate Tyler Boyd #83 during the fourth quarter of the game against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium on November 03, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Westbrook-Ikhine has been on a quiet scoring tear this season, with a touchdown in five of his last six games. Houston is a good matchup for that streak to continue, especially if Tennessee falls behind early.
