Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Ashton Jeanty

Monday, November 3, 10:29 AM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty had another mediocre performance on the ground in the team's Week 9 overtime loss to the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but he salvaged his day for fantasy managers by catching all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown through the air. On the ground, Jeanty handled a team-high 13 carries for 42 yards (3.2 yards per carry). The 21-year-old was able to bounce back coming out of the bye week after he had a season-low six carries for 21 yards and only one catch for 13 yards in the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It's been slow going for Jeanty the last three games behind a shaky Raiders offensive line, and things won't get any easier on a short week on Thursday Night Football against a stout Denver Broncos defense in Week 10. Through his first eight NFL games, Jeanty has three rushing scores and three receiving touchdowns.
