Best Steelers vs. Browns Anytime TD Scorer Predictions for Thursday Night Football

It’s still too early for the proverbial cream of the NFL to rise to the top, but there’s at least some separation taking place entering Week 4. With all four members of the AFC North sitting at 2-1 on the year, will it be the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Cleveland Browns that sends a statement?

Entering the 8:15 p.m. ET bout on Thursday Night Football, both offenses are still looking to find their footing. Pittsburgh is ushering in a new era in throwback fashion with head coach Mike McCarthy and QB Aaron Rodgers, while the QB Deshaun Watson experiment is trending upward in the Dawg Pound.

If points are scored in bunches in Week 4, though, it’ll likely be thanks to the supporting casts of those signal-callers. Which players could sniff pay dirt in prime time?

Below, we'll highlight our best Steelers vs. Browns anytime TD scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football, including three players who could reach the end zone.

Steelers vs. Browns Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Thursday Night Football Week 4 – October 1

Fresh off a 30-point output and a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, things may be looking up for the Steelers. Rodgers had easily his best day of the season, throwing for 292 yards and 3 TDs. With that said, the Pittsburgh offense still sits 29th in both points and yards per drive coming into Week 4.

The Browns, meanwhile, netted their second one-score triumph in a row with a 21-18 outcome vs. the Carolina Panthers. HC Todd Monken’s offense sits 21st in EPA per play, according to RBSDM, and is up to 17th during the two-game winning streak. 

Different cogs in the machine have assisted in scoring along the way, leaving the door wide open for Week 4 NFL touchdown predictions. 

Anytime TDs on PrizePicks include rushing, receiving, recoveries, and returns. PrizePicks often list Anytime TDs as Demons and Goblins, meaning users can only select "More." For standard projections, users can select “More” or “Less.”

Demons are tougher to win but are the only way to get higher payouts. Meanwhile, Goblins are lower than a standard projection, but they are easier to win, so there’s a lower payout.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren vs. Browns: 0.5 Anytime TDs

• Warren is coming off a game in which he set a career high with 176 scrimmage yards, and it coincided with the first time he’s been on the field for over 80% of available offensive snaps. 
• With RB Rico Dowdle (toe) ruled out for TNF, expect Warren to potentially receive an uptick in usage. 
• The veteran halfback lost balance on a would-be TD last weekend and also had an 87-yard scamper nullified by a holding penalty. 
• Warren came out of Week 3 second to only Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker in missed tackles forced per touch. He’s also in the top 10 in yards after contact per touch.
• Pittsburgh’s defense ranks 22nd in EPA/rush surrendered (-0.043), in addition to ceding the 10th-highest success rate (43.1%) on the ground.

Steelers WR DK Metcalf vs. Browns: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

• Metcalf finally scored his first TD of the season in Week 3 and has an uncharacteristic drop rate of 8.3% that’s significantly higher than his career ledger of 5.2%
• According to SumerSports, Metcalf’s 22.86% target share tops the Steelers’ WR room by over 5.0% and also trumps TE Pat Freiermuth’s mark of 13.33%. 
• There could be some positive regression coming for Metcalf. He rolls into Week 4 fourth in air yards and is underperforming his 14.4 expected point-per-reception fantasy PPG by 4.4.
• Despite it not showing up by way of yards and points in the box score, Pittsburgh remains committed to throwing the ball. Its pass rate over expected sits fourth in the sport, per nfelo, at +4.2%. 
• The Browns have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to the WR position (78.0), stemming from 55 grabs for 466 yards and 5 TDs.

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. vs. Steelers: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

• The second-year TE is starting to hit his stride, going off for 2 TDs in Week 3 and seeing his target splits rise to 20.0% and 30.0% in the last two games, respectively. 
• Fannin’s 13.34 total EPA generated is eighth among all NFL TEs through three weeks of play.
• The Browns have discovered a new alignment strength for Fannin: attaching him to the formation. Per NFL Pro, that percentage has gone from 31.2% in 2025 to 59.0% in 2026, seeing him average 2.3 yards per route in those situations overall compared to 1.4 elsewhere.
• Via PFF’s QB-receiver partnership map, the Watson connection with Fannin is producing 0.50 EPA/play and a 132.9 passer rating. 
• The Steelers have allowed a reception on 10 of 14 targets to TEs through three games.
