49ers vs Seahawks anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Brock Purdy (+700)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
Brock Purdy lost one of the best pass-catchers in the league last week in George Kittle, who tore his achilles. His pass-catchers on the outside will now have a much bigger role against a Seahawks secondary that ranks in the top 5 in air yards on completions and redzone TD percentage at 50%.
Purdy is no stranger to using his legs. Since returning to full health in Week 11, Purdy has run in three touchdowns on three carries inside the 20, while throwing 10 touchdowns and zero interceptions. With Christian McCaffrey having all the attention on him, and Kittle sidelined, look for Purdy to try his luck finding the endzone himself.
49ers vs Seahawks TD scorer pick: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+100)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be turning in some hardware for his career season. He’s -1250 to win Offensive Player of the Year after reeling in 119 catches on 1,793 yards during the regular season. His 36% team target share led the NFL, and is an encouraging sign that Sam Darnold will be looking his way on Saturday Night. Though he failed to score versus the 49ers during the regular season, he’s still our top 49ers vs Seahawks TD scorer best bet.
