Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been a touchdown machine in his rookie season, scoring five touchdowns on just 13 receptions. He posted a career day in Week 9 with four catches for 48 yards and two scores while logging a season-high 73% snap share. However, Seattle's trade for Rashid Shaheed may limit Horton's fantasy trajectory. Shaheed recorded 44 receptions in nine games with the Saints this season and is expected to slide in as the No. 2 option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Shaheed likely to command consistent snaps and targets, Horton becomes a far more volatile play. He should be viewed as a stash-only option in deeper leagues, not a weekly fantasy starter.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton had the best game of his young career in his team's Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders, hauling in four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. The 22-year-old has just 13 catches for 161 yards across eight games this season, but he's already scored five touchdowns. In Week 9, Horton took advantage of the playing time opportunity opened up by injuries to Seattle wideouts Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles), and Dareke Young (quad). Kupp's return will make it more difficult for Horton to earn targets, and Seattle already has a major target hog in star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Still, Horton has flashed big-play upside and deserves a look from fantasy managers on the waiver wire, particularly if Kupp's injuries keep him out for an extended stretch. Seattle will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday Night's blowout win against the Washington Commanders. Horton scored the first two touchdowns of the night for Seattle, giving him five now on the season and tying Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka for the most among first-year receivers. The rookie out of Colorado State took advantage of his opportunities with multiple other Seattle wide receivers sidelined for this matchup against Washington's poor defense. Horton looks like a legitimate flex option moving forward if Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) were to miss any more time.
Nov 3, 2025 12:27 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton was held without a catch on four targets across the team's final two games before its Week 8 bye. The 22-year-old has struggled to be consistently productive this season, recording nine catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns on 18 targets in seven games played. However, injuries could allow Horton to play a larger role in Seattle's offense in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. Seahawks wideouts Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quad) have been ruled out, while veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) is listed as questionable after injuring his hamstring in practice on Friday. If Kupp is ruled out, Horton looks like the clear WR2 in Seattle alongside star Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 9. The Commanders enter Week 9 allowing the most yards per reception in the NFL (12.8), so Horton will have a favorable matchup as well. Horton profiles as a high-upside flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 9 against Washington if Kupp is unable to play.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton might be worth a look on your league's waiver wire heading into the team's Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the Washington Commanders, with veteran Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) dealing with two injuries and listed as questionable to play this weekend. Horton has recorded only nine receptions on 18 targets for 113 yards in his first seven NFL games, but he also has scored three times, and he'd be in line for WR2 duties behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Sunday if Kupp is unable to play or is limited at all. The 22-year-old didn't catch any of his three targets in the Monday night win over the Houston Texans back in Week 7, but the Seahawks could be looking to get him more involved in the passing game coming out of their Week 8 bye. Horton is currently rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been an exciting rookie to watch in 2025. He has scored four touchdowns in six games, and he is a big play waiting to happen. Unfortunately, his role in the offense is inconsistent. The Seahawks matchup with the Houston Texans in Week 7. Houston is the No. 2 team against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. Simply, this defense is elite and is very adept at shutting down opposing passing games. Additionally, Houston is not playing well on the offensive side of the ball this season. They are unlikely to put pressure on Seattle to air it out on Monday night. As such, Horton's number may not be called often. Horton has yet to play more than 49% of the snaps this season. He is firmly the No. 3 wide receiver in Seattle's offense. Seattle will play against several solid offenses following their Week 8 bye. Horton may be able to produce then, but he should remain a bench stash in Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 8:59 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton should remain on your bench in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Horton continues to produce at a high level, and he will be difficult for the Seahawks to keep off the field. Horton has a nose for the end zone. He has scored four touchdowns in his first five games in the league. Unfortunately, his volume has been low. Horton has yet to exceed 39 receiving yards or four targets in a game. Despite the low volume, Horton's efficiency has been absurd. Three of his eight receptions this season have gone for touchdowns, and he has returned a punt for a touchdown. While the Jaguars boast a solid defense, they are relatively banged up in the secondary. Their recent addition of Greg Newsome II will help, but Jacksonville needs to worry about wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp first. Horton has a great chance to get lost in the shuffle and find the end zone once again in a game that projects to be relatively competitive. He is still not worthy of a start, but Horton could be a great second-half player in 2025.
Oct 11, 2025 9:51 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton has flashed high-end potential through his first five NFL games, recording nine catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns on 14 targets. The 22-year-old has established himself as the clear WR3 in Seattle alongside star wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Horton is tough to trust for fantasy managers in the short term because of his low target volume in a run-heavy Seahawks offense. Still, he's a name to monitor and a player for deep-league fantasy managers to stash for his long-term upside.
Oct 7, 2025 9:41 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton scored his fourth touchdown of the season in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks had to substantially increase their passing volume in a high-scoring game against the Bucs. Horton benefited from the increased volume with four targets and three receptions for 39 yards and the touchdown. Horton still played just 49% of the snaps, but it was still an uptick in usage from Week 4, when he played just 36% of the snaps. Horton is clearly talented. He is demonstrating a nose for the end zone early in the season with an ability to get lost amongst the defensive backs. No. 2 wide receiver Cooper Kupp is still doing a solid job getting open and making tough catches, so his role will not disintegrate. However, if Horton continues playing like this, the Seahawks will not be able to keep him off the field. For now, Horton is worth a spot on your bench.
Oct 6, 2025 5:44 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton saw his snap percentage dip to its lowest of the season in Week 4. That was puzzling, considering Horton's monster performance the week prior. However, the Seahawks are playing a lot of 12 personnel as they attempt to run the ball. They led for much of their Week 4 win over the Cardinals, which would have been conducive to a heavier run scheme. In Week 5, the Seahawks will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers likely have the best offense the Seahawks have seen to this point in the season. If the Bucs can push the Seahawks' defense, Horton's services may be necessary in what could be a heavier passing offense. If you have a spot on your bench, Horton is still a worthy stash as we observe how his usage will play out. He is still a rookie ramping up in this offense, so the opportunity for a second-half breakout is in the cards. For now, all we can do is keep an eye on Horton's snap counts and targets.

Tory Horton caught one of his two targets for 10 yards in the Seahawks' 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. It was a fairly uneventful evening for Horton, coming off a game where he scored a touchdown through the air and in the return game. Horton is serving as a situational home run play for the Seahawks at this time and is at best a touchdown-dependent WR4/5 for fantasy managers right now. Fantasy managers seeking consistent production moving forward should consider alternatives, as Horton does not provide the volume that fantasy managers typically look for from a target standpoint. Up next for the Seahawks is a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which promises to be a good matchup between two teams with strong records and at the top of their respective divisions.
Sep 26, 2025 9:53 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton should absolutely be on your bench in Week 4. Horton is emerging as a very important player in Seattle's offense. His snap percentage hovered around 50% in Week 3, and he earned four targets and scored his second receiving touchdown of the season. Horton is flashing great talent that the Seahawks may not be able to keep off the field. Seattle will visit Arizona in Week 4. Arizona has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. If this turns out to be a competitive game, Horton will be necessary for Seattle's success. He is difficult to trust as a starting option in fantasy at this time, but it is advisable to get ahead of the curve and ensure that Horton is on your bench in case a true breakout is unfolding. With Arizona struggling against wide receivers, Horton could have a big game in Week 4.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton had a breakout performance in Sunday's 44-13 blowout of the New Orleans Saints. He returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, marking the longest punt return in Seahawks franchise history. He also added a receiving touchdown on a 14-yard fade from quarterback Sam Darnold in the second quarter. The rookie finished the game with three receptions for 32 yards and one touchdown on four targets, making him second on the team in targets. After scoring his first career touchdown last week, Horton is proving he might be a sneaky flex option in deeper leagues moving forward.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (groin) is worth keeping an eye on in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Horton earned his first targets and catches in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He scored on a 21-yard strike early in the game for his first career reception and touchdown. However, it is worth noting that Horton's snap percentage dipped from 54% in Week 1 to 40% in Week 2. Still, when Horton is on the field, he is running routes. Earning two targets on just 40% of the snaps as the No. 3 receiver is encouraging for the rookie. He is still not someone you should be looking to start, but if you have an extra roster spot and a dry waiver wire, he is worth a stash. Horton is a big-play threat waiting to happen. If he rips off a couple of big plays in multiple games in a row, your whole fantasy league will be on notice. It will be better to be ahead of the curve if Horton begins to deliver for fantasy. Horton is entering Week 3 with a groin injury, but he should be good to go without any limitations. Keep an eye on his snap count in Week 3 to see if his role increases.
Sep 20, 2025 12:25 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton is not someone who should be on fantasy rosters right now. He is certainly not worth starting in Week 2 when Seattle visits the Pittsburgh Steelers. Horton won the No. 3 wide receiver role during the preseason, but he only played 54% of the snaps in Week 1 and was not targeted. He has a role as a returner, but that does not present much fantasy value. Horton has a lot of promise. He is a big, fifth-round rookie who played excellent ball during the preseason. However, the Seahawks' offense is a work in progress and is nowhere near being able to produce three fantasy-relevant players. Horton's usage is worth watching as the season wears on because he could turn up the heat in the second half. For now, Horton is best left on waivers.
Sep 12, 2025 12:07 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton is not on the fantasy radar in Week 1 when Seattle hosts the San Francisco 49ers. However, Horton's usage is one to watch as the 2025 fifth-round pick won the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver job this offseason. It may be difficult for a run-heavy team to support fantasy relevance from three wide receivers, but if Horton is constantly on the field and running routes, that would suggest he has a chance to take on a huge role as the season progresses. If you have an extra roster spot due to a player being on IR, Horton is a worthy stash from waivers. If the Seahawks take a top-heavy approach at wide receiver with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, then Horton can likely be dropped. If the split is more even, Horton is a solid hold throughout the season.
Sep 5, 2025 2:15 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been one of the hottest names this training camp and preseason, and the rookie receiver should be in a good spot to make an immediate impact. Coach Mike Macdonald said earlier this week that Horton has recovered from his ankle injury to return punts beginning Week 1. The fact that he'll be healthy to start the season could be huge for the impressive fifth-round pick, who compiled 167 catches, 2,267 receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns in two seasons at Colorado State. He'll start the year as the team's third receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but he could climb the depth chart with his playmaking upside. He is a nice sleeper to target late in drafts and is the WR73 in the RotoBaller rankings.
Aug 30, 2025 8:58 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (ankle) is expected to practice fully next week, head coach Mike Macdonald told members of the media, including ESPN's Brady Henderson. Horton has been sidelined ever since injuring himself during the second week of the preseason, but it sounds like he's very close to returning to the field. A fifth-round rookie, Horton once totaled 167 catches, 2,267 receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns over the course of two seasons at Colorado State. However, in his third and final season there, his counting stats dropped as he was limited to just six games. Now, Horton is looking to make an impact at the NFL level. As soon as he's cleared to practice, he should step in as the Seahawks' No. 3 receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.
Aug 26, 2025 12:26 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (ankle) is still dealing with a minor ankle injury he sustained during last week's preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs. However, his strong camp and preseason performance may have already earned him a starting spot. The fifth-round pick out of Colorado State finished the preseason with four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. Horton had over 1,000 yards in two consecutive seasons at Colorado State, and the Seahawks' beat writer suggests he has been "rising up the depth chart so fast that he is now expected to start alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp." If Horton does begin the season as a starter, he could be a sneaky late-round flier in fantasy drafts. Keep an eye on his injury status for Week 1, as his fantasy stock is on the rise.
