2024 Touchdowns (TDs) – Regular Season Recap
5 min read
After Targets, my next favorite statistic to use in maximizing my Fantasy Football lineups is Touchdowns (TDs). I would like to look back and see who the best players were to get Touchdowns (TDs) (rushing & receiving) in the 2024 Regular Season. Touchdowns (TDs) are a significant driver of Fantasy Football success. Most leagues will reward the rushing and receiving touchdowns with 6 points! They are also one of the less predictable statistics in Fantasy Football.
If you do find a trend or opportunity for those players getting Touchdowns (TDs) you will have an edge! Let’s review Touchdowns (TDs) in the 2024 Regular Season!
2024 Touchdowns (TDs)
With a category as Touchdowns (TDs) (rushing & receiving) the majority of the players we will come across are going to be Running Backs and Wide Receivers (they are your primary ball catchers and runners). In the 2024 Regular Season 110 players scored 5 Touchdowns (TDs) or more. Of these top 95 players the list includes: 38 Running Backs, 49 Wide Receivers, 13 Tight Ends and 10 Quarterbacks.
The scarcity in which you find those 18 Non-Running Backs and Non-Wide Receivers is an opportunity to get that type of production at another position. The 18 Non-Running Backs and Non-Wide Receivers on the list are below, along with their last few years history of Touchdowns (TDs). It may be wise to keep these names in mind when the 2025 Fantasy Football Season starts. Especially if they find themselves with similar opportunities.
Touchdowns (TDs) – Quarterbacks
| Player | Total TDs | Rushing TDs | Receiving TDs | TDs/Game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts | 14 | 14 | 0 | 0.93 |
| Josh Allen | 13 | 12 | 1 | 0.76 |
| Jayden Daniels | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0.35 |
| Taysom Hill | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0.75 |
| Anthony Richardson | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0.55 |
| Bryce Young | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0.43 |
| Justin Fields | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0.5 |
| Kyler Murray | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0.29 |
| Bo Nix | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0.29 |
| Brock Purdy | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0.33 |
Allen and Hurts are in a tier to themselves. Seeing Lamar Jackson not getting above 7 Touchdowns (TDs) in recent years does seem surprising. Keep tabs on what the Saints do at QB in 2024. If they don’t add a top end QB, it does seem to leave the opportunity open for more Taysom Hill usage.
Touchdowns (TDs) – Tight Ends
| Player | Total TDs | Rushing TDs | Receiving TDs | TDs/Game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark Andrews | 11 | 0 | 11 | 0.65 |
| George Kittle | 8 | 0 | 8 | 0.53 |
| Jonnu Smith | 8 | 0 | 8 | 0.47 |
| Zach Ertz | 7 | 0 | 7 | 0.41 |
| Pat Freiermuth | 7 | 0 | 7 | 0.41 |
| Tucker Kraft | 7 | 0 | 7 | 0.41 |
| Sam LaPorta | 7 | 0 | 7 | 0.44 |
| Taysom Hill | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0.75 |
| Isaiah Likely | 6 | 0 | 6 | 0.38 |
| Brock Bowers | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0.29 |
| Noah Gray | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0.29 |
| Foster Moreau | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0.29 |
| David Njoku | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0.45 |
Kelce got doubled up on Touchdowns (TDs) in 2023 by a rookie! Sam LaPorta became the exception to the thought that rookie/young Tight Ends don’t produce enough for Fantasy Football usage. Looks like5-6 Touchdowns (TDs) gets you a Top 12 Tight End in the category. Will any of Kelce, Kittle or Andrews return to a double-digit performance of Touchdowns (TDs) in 2025?

No Wide Receiver that scored double digit Touchdowns (TDs) last year did so the previous year! Addison, Reed, Dell, Rice, Flowers and Nacua were the rookies that cracked this list! Some guys that I think have a good chance to do better with Touchdowns (TDs) in the 2025 Fantasy Football Season: Metcalf, Diggs, Brown, Chase, Jefferson, Higgins and Olave.

3 Running Backs outscored the top Wide Receivers (and similar to last year the top Running Backs scored a few more Touchdowns (TDs) than the Wide Receivers in the 2023 season). McCaffrey, Henry and Barkley are back on this list again scoring double digit Touchdowns (TDs) last year and the previous year! Achane, Gibbs and Robinson are the rookies making this list! I feel confident with the likes of McCaffrey, Etienne, Henry, Gibbs and Robinson returning to this list in the 2025 Fantasy Football Season.
2024 Touchdowns (TDs) – Regular Season Recap – Final Word
Always interesting how the Touchdowns (TDs) shake out each season. Especially for Quarterbacks and Tight Ends that are in positions that are less likely to see the rushing & receiving Touchdowns (TDs). Touchdowns (TDs) can swing a fantasy season. If you have those players that will see more Touchdowns (TDs) I feel you will have an advantage. The above lists could be some names to keep in mind as you do your offseason review, ramp up for drafting your 2025 Fantasy Football Team or have trades to make now as you prepare for next year’s fantasy football season!
Do you pick all these highlighted players in the first few rounds of your 2025 Fantasy Football Drafts? Probably not. Although when comparing them to others around their average draft position, I would tend to lean towards the player that is getting or is due for more Touchdowns (TDs) than not.
