He leads the Texans with seven touchdowns including six rushing scores. He scored six touchdowns in his last four games after missing a couple weeks with an ankle injury.

Wide receiver Nico Collins sustained a hamstring injury in Week 5, but he could return against the Lions. Collins scored three touchdowns in his last four appearances. If he suits up, he’s +130 odds to score an anytime touchdown.

Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending knee injury, but Tank Dell stepped up in Week 9 with one of his most productive games of the season. Dell scored two touchdowns in the last four games. We love Dell to reach the end zone at +180 odds.

The Lions have a two-headed rushing attack with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. They both scored seven rushing touchdowns each, but Gibbs also has one touchdown reception.

Montgomery with 100+ rushing yards will pay out +425 odds, but he only has one game north of 100 yards back in Week 3.
