Subscriber Sunday Touchdown Picks November 3rd, 2024!!!

As NFL Week 9 approaches, we’ve got an exciting lineup of players who are prime candidates to find the end zone. Here’s a breakdown of the opportunities and matchups for James Cook, Josh Jacobs, A.J. Brown, Puka Nacua, Alvin Kamara, and Chuba Hubbard to score a touchdown this Sunday. Moving forward these picks will be available to subscribers only, that being said, because this is the first Sunday of this blog these picks are free for everyone!

James Cook (Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins)

James Cook is set up for a productive game against the Dolphins, whose defense has allowed consistent yardage to running backs. Cook has developed into a reliable red-zone option for the Bills, especially with his versatility to catch passes out of the backfield. Miami’s defensive front has struggled at times with quick, elusive backs, and if Buffalo’s offense can control the tempo, Cook should get multiple touches inside the 20-yard line. With Josh Allen’s dual-threat capability drawing defenders, Cook could see space to punch one in on a goal-line carry or a short screen pass.

Josh Jacobs (Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals)

Josh Jacobs is a focal point of the Raiders’ offense and is facing a Bengals defense that has struggled against powerful, downhill runners. Cincinnati’s run defense ranks in the lower half of the league, allowing nearly 4.7 yards per carry, and Jacobs is a bruising back who excels in goal-line situations. If Las Vegas can establish a steady run game early, Jacobs should see ample chances to score. With the Raiders’ passing game likely drawing some coverage deep, Jacobs should get touches in the red zone to capitalize on Cincinnati’s defensive lapses.

A.J. Brown (Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars)

A.J. Brown has consistently been a key target in the red zone due to his physicality and ability to win contested catches. Facing Jacksonville, a team that has had issues containing wide receivers in the red zone, Brown should be able to leverage his skill set. Expect the Eagles to look his way on quick routes or fades near the goal line as he goes up against the Jaguars’ secondary.

Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks)

Puka Nacua will line up against the Seattle Seahawks, a team that has shown vulnerability in defending quick, high-volume pass-catchers. Nacua’s ability to execute sharp routes and create separation makes him a reliable target, particularly on short-yardage plays in the red zone. Seattle’s secondary may be tested with both Nacua and other Rams receivers, creating potential one-on-one opportunities for him to score.

Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers)

Alvin Kamara is back to being the go-to player in the Saints’ offense, and his versatility as a runner and receiver makes him difficult to contain in the red zone. The Panthers’ defense has allowed significant yardage to versatile backs, and with New Orleans frequently targeting Kamara on screen passes and wheel routes, he should have plenty of scoring opportunities. Kamara has also been used on direct runs up the middle in short-yardage situations, so whether it’s through the air or on the ground, he’s a top candidate to reach the end zone.

Chuba Hubbard (Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints)

With Miles Sanders’ role diminished, Chuba Hubbard has taken over as the Panthers’ primary back. Hubbard’s recent increase in workload, especially near the goal line, makes him a solid touchdown candidate. The Saints’ defense has been solid, but they’ve allowed rushing scores to aggressive runners. Hubbard’s speed and decisiveness in short-yardage scenarios could give him the edge to break through New Orleans’ defensive line. If Carolina’s offense can drive downfield, Hubbard is likely to get his chances close to the goal line.

Final Thoughts

Each of these players has a path to the end zone based on favorable matchups and usage trends. They’re all solid plays for fantasy and betting props, as well as potential game-changers in Sunday’s action.
