In what is a relatively meaningless game for both of these teams, we could get a bit risky with our anytime touchdown scorer predictions ahead of Monday Night Football between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers. However, I'll instead trust a pair of starters to find the end zone and provide a strategy for how I'd tackle players with longer TD odds.

The Lions visit San Francisco in Week 17 to take on the 49ers ahead of their biggest regular-season game of the campaign, as they take on the Minnesota Vikings next week to determine who wears the NFC North crown.

As a result, many are staying away from touchdown props and Overs associated with Lions starters. However, I'll trust their alpha wideout to score before he potentially exits the contest as part of our NFL Week 17 predictions.

On the other side, a certain 49ers receiver looked rejuvenated last week - too little, too late - and I'll back him to find the end zone on Monday night, with this game getting underway at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN) from Levi's Stadium.

Sure, this one is risky, because we may have only two or three quarters to hit this prop. However, I still like St. Brown's chances to score on Monday night, and these +100 odds represent decent value.

St. Brown's TD projection is among the best for receivers this week at 0.58, though that projection also assumes he'll receive his regular workload.

The problem with riding with backup wideouts Allen Robinson or Tom Kennedy or No. 2 running back Craig Reynolds is that we don't know what head coach Dan Campbell - a top NFL Coach of the Year odds contender - will opt to do in this game.

The Lions have suffered a ton of injuries this year, so you may expect him to rest starters in this somewhat meaningless game. However, this is also the ultimate never-say-die team.

Therefore, I'd rather back St. Brown before the contest and potentially look for some live betting opportunities depending on how the game looks. Sure you can get +2600 odds on Robinson to score right now, but he also may not draw a single target.

I always prefer to have more information at my disposal rather than jump at the best number too early out of sheer speculation.

Welcome to 2024, Deebo. 

It took 16 weeks, but the 49ers dual-threat receiver managed his first 20-plus-point half PPR fantasy day of the season against the Miami Dolphins, turning seven catches into 96 yards and adding another 25 on the ground. Most importantly, though, he found the end zone for the first time since Week 6.

That was just his third TD of the season, but it gives us hope that Samuel could finish the season strong. His receiving TD projection is a decent 0.34, but with running back Isaac Guerendo banged-up, Samuel's rushing TD projection is 0.14 after recording five carries last week.

Therefore, with a 0.48 projection, we're getting very solid value on odds associated with just a 36% implied probability that he'll score.
