This week’s Thursday Night Football matchup is expected to be a low-scoring affair, as Easton Stick will be making his first career start for the Los Angeles Chargers in place of Justin Herbert, and the Las Vegas Raiders are coming off a shutout loss. But assuming these teams can score any points offensively, who are the best touchdown scorer bets in Chargers vs. Raiders?
Chargers vs. Raiders Touchdown Scorer Bets
Davante Adams (+185 at FanDuel)
Rolfe: It has been a tough season for Davante Adams, who has only found the end zone once since scoring three times in three games to open the season. However, there has been no shortage of opportunities for Adams this season, and he is more than capable of scoring a TD in this spot against the Chargers.
In the past four weeks, the Chargers have allowed five touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, and that includes a game against a woeful New England Patriots offense. If you take out that game, the Chargers have allowed five passing touchdowns to wide receivers in the past three games against competent offenses. Adams should be able to get back on the scoreboard this week.
Jakobi Meyers (+380 at FanDuel)
Blewis: Jakobi Meyers has only scored twice since October, but he could be due in this matchup, as the Chargers have allowed both the fifth-most touchdowns and percentage of targets for touchdowns to wide receivers this season. This matchup for Meyers and the Raiders comes after a four-game stretch against really good defenses in the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Minnesota Vikings.

You could easily go with the safer pick in Adams here, but I like the odds on Meyers. To put the odds here in context, he’s +250 at DraftKings and +300 at ESPN BET.
Gerald Everett (+550 at FanDuel)
Soppe: Gerald Everett was the featured tight end for the Bolts in Week 14 (46 snaps to 16 for Donald Parham Jr.), and we are getting a nice discount because of the QB situation in Los Angeles now that Herbert has been ruled out for the season.
I don’t expect there to be a ton of touchdowns in this game, but we saw Jake Browning debut with a sub-5.0 aDOT, and if Stick follows a similar confidence-gaining script, Everett is in a position to see plenty of looks.
2023 Chargers aDOT
- Joshua Palmer: 12.5
- Keenan Allen: 9.6
- Donald Parham Jr.: 7.4
- Gerald Everett: 4.2
