DraftKings King of the End Zone Long Shot Picks for Week 8 – November 2, 2026

Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season already delivered some thrilling performances, including the last undefeated team suffering its first loss, a wild finish in Denver, and a pair of games that went to overtime after being tied 30-30 and 36-36 at the end of regulation. For the final act of the Week 8 drama, we get a juicy playoff-level matchup from the West Coast, as the 4-3 Seattle Seahawks host the 5-2 Chicago Bears. To add even more flourish to the finish of Week 8, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering another King of the End Zone promotion with a massive haul of bonus bets.

This week’s King of the End Zone promo will award a massive $2 million in bonus bets. If you opt in, you get a token to place a single bet of at least $5 on a player in a touchdown market; if he scores the longest touchdown of the night, you win a share of the $2 million in bonus bets. So far this season, Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Bills WR Josh Palmer, Bears WR Kalif Raymond, Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, Bills RB James Cook III, 49ers TE George Kittle and Cowboys WR George Pickens have claimed King of the End Zone honors and earned substantial Bonus Bets for their backers.

Earlier on Monday, I ran down some of my top plays for Week 8’s Monday Night Football edition of DraftKings King of the End Zone. In this post, we’ll look at three longshot plays that could pay out big if they win.

King of the End Zone — What You Need to Know

The promotion rules are pretty simple. After opting in, bettors will receive a token to place on a single bet with a $5 minimum in the “TD Scorer” market. If the player with the token scores the game’s longest touchdown, you will win a share of $2 million in bonus bets. The fewer people who select that player, the larger the payout, so balance the pick’s popularity with its likelihood of hitting. A longer shot could land a massive payout, while a more obvious choice is more likely to win, even if the bonus bet payout is smaller.

Passing touchdowns are ineligible for this promotion, so if you want to pick Sam Darnold, for example, he’ll have to run it in himself for the longest score. Although D/ST isn’t an individual player, they can become King of the End Zone if the longest touchdown comes on a defensive or special teams play.

King of the End Zone Long Shot Picks for Monday, Nov. 2

When making King of the End Zone picks, consider players likely to score a touchdown and the game’s longest touchdown. In these picks, I’m looking for an option that could break a long score but isn’t a popular play. They don’t have the highest likelihood of hitting, but if they do, the Bonus-Bet payout would be huge.

These three picks are my favorite longshot plays with the potential to score a long touchdown, and they’re off the radar enough to be less popular.

1. Luther Burden III Anytime Touchdown (+240)

The Seahawks secondary has been elite this season, allowing only four wide receiver touchdowns in their seven games and an average of just 91.7 total yards to the position. The Bears have been one of the top passing offenses in the league with Caleb Williams under center, setting up a fascinating strength-on-strength matchup.

Burden has emerged as the team’s top receiver this season, leading the team with 35 receptions and a 20.98% target share. Burden had his second touchdown of the year last week in primetime against the Patriots, scoring on a 24-yard catch just before halftime. He also had the longest play of the game, which was a 58-yard completion late in the first quarter.

Burden brings plenty of big-play upside, and even though the matchup makes him a high-risk play, he could deliver a big King of the End Zone win if he finds space to escape the Seattle secondary.

2. Tory Horton Anytime Touchdown (+380)

On the other side of the matchup, the Seahawks will be without big-play specialist Rashid Shaheed (knee) for the first time this season. Without Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton could see more opportunities behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Horton has some sleeper big-play upside.

He did score a touchdown in Week 4 against the Chargers and has a total of five catches on 10 targets for 67 yards. He will likely be more involved without Shaheed and also get more involved on special teams.

Last year, as a rookie, Horton scored six total touchdowns, including three receiving touchdowns that were more than 20 yards and a 95-yard punt return. He is a long shot, but with this kind of big-play potential, he could break a huge play to claim King of the End Zone.

3. Jadarian Price Anytime Touchdown (+340)

Price could end up being a contrarian play without many tokens on him sinc he still needs to be activated from injured reserve before game time. He returned to full practice Friday, which is a great sign that he could be ready to go.

Even if he’s activated, Price’s timeshare is also uncertain since Zach Charbonnet (knee) is also joining the backfield for the first time this season. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani have done a solid job overall holding down the timeshare as well, which makes the roles very murky if all four backs are available, as expected.

Price didn’t score a touchdown in his first three games in the NFL, taking his 28 carries for 119 rushing yards and adding four catches for 21 receiving yards. The first-round pick did show plenty of spark, though, and after an impressive training camp and preseason, he is expected to be an explosive part of the Seahawks’ run game when he’s healthy and involved.

Price, Horton and Burden are all longshot options who have the potential to go off for a big play and get a touchdown on Monday night, and if they do, they could end up yielding giant payouts of Bonus Bets since they will have fewer tokens placed on them.
