Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Tory Horton

Thursday, November 13, 12:42 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) returned to Thursday's practice after he was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury on Wednesday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Washington's fantasy stock was on the rise going into the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) placed on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) ruled out. The 23-year-old pass-catcher responded with two touchdowns (one receiving, one on special teams) on three catches for 33 yards. Thomas could be back this weekend against the Tennessee Titans, but Washington should maintain his role as a starter in Jacksonville's passing attack the rest of the year now that Hunter is officially done for the season. He'll make for a WR4/flex option again on Sunday in a good matchup, and he's definitely developed some solid chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence in his third NFL season.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) has been ruled out for a big Week 11 divisional contest this Sunday against the hosting Los Angeles Rams and will miss a second straight game, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Just when Horton seemed to be coming on strong for the Seahawks offense in his first year -- he had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders -- he gets hurt. When the 22-year-old does return to action, he'll be contending with newcomer Rashid Shaheed for targets. Veteran Cooper Kupp is also back from his injury. Horton has caught only 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets in his eight games played, but he's managed to find the end zone five times. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Seattle could put Horton on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.
