Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Tory Horton

Monday, September 8, 6:19 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Matthew Golden (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were both listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The Packers did not actually practice as they head into a short week this Thursday night to kick off Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Wicks was also on the Week 1 injury report but ended up playing in the Week 1 win over the Lions, catching both of his targets for 30 yards. Golden will join the injury report for the first time in 2025, but the 22-year-old first-rounder should play on Thursday night. In his NFL debut, he was quiet, going for two catches for 16 yards while playing just under 50 percent of the offensive snaps. If Golden is active on Thursday, he will be the more attractive WR4/flex upside play over Wicks against Washington.

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.
