Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Tory Horton

Saturday, September 13, 1:42 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was the team's third-most productive pass catcher in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards on nine targets. His longest catch was just 17 yards, but his speed and explosiveness give him real big-play potential. With Kellen Moore's offense passing aggressively, Shaheed could turn his volume into a breakout performance and projects as a WR4 with upside this week against the 49ers.

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.
