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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (ankle) did not participate in practice on Sunday. This doesn't come as a surprise after Horton suffered an ankle injury during the second preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. The injury isn't considered serious, but the Seahawks are taking a cautious approach right now. The rookie wideout is currently competing with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the third wideout spot in Seattle. A lengthy absence would certainly hurt Horton's chances of earning the role. Fantasy managers will have to check back throughout the week for more updates on his status.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton had an impressive preseason debut on Thursday night, catching three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown, as the Seahawks and Raiders played to a 23-23 tie at Lumen Field. The rookie from Colorado State was a fifth-round pick but has been breaking out in camp, and he caught the Seahawks' second score of the game in the second quarter on a 10-yard pass from Drew Lock. Horton was viewed as a great value on Day 3 of the draft, and he's already firmly in the mix to be the team's third receiver behind starters Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, who was added as a free agent. Horton's draft stock will surely be on the rise after this preseason showing, and he'll continue to climb draft boards. He's a great depth pickup if you can get him as a value, but Seattle does have two strong receivers ahead of him on the depth chart, which could keep his early-season production in check.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton "continues to flash in practice," according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. A fifth-round draft pick out of Colorado State, Horton recorded 265 catches for 3,615 yards and 27 touchdowns across five collegiate seasons. The Seahawks have Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp entrenched as their top two wide receivers, and veteran free-agent addition Marquez Valdes-Scantling is penciled in as a starter on the outside. That leaves Horton fighting with the likes of Jake Bobo, Steven Sims, and Dareke Young for a depth role in Seattle. While Horton is unlikely to make an impact in fantasy right away, he could be a name to monitor if he continues to impress throughout the preseason.
