Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Chimere Dike

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve for the team's crucial Week 16 divisional game against the Los Angeles Rams next Thursday night, but head coach Mike Macdonald made it sound like Horton could need more time. "It's still a process right now. We got some tests going on, not as we speak, but in the last day or two, and that'll be indicative of how fast we can accelerate everything," Macdonald said. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder out of Colorado State caught all four of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders, which might end up being the last game that Horton plays in the regular season in his first NFL season. Any chances of Horton being a fantasy asset to close out the year also likely went out the window when Seattle acquired deep threat Rashid Shaheed from the Saints at the trade deadline.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike's yardage total in last Sunday's 31-29 victory over the Cleveland Browns may not have been what owners expected. Still, he should be on fantasy managers' radars considering his role in the offense. Dike and the Titans' air attack struggled through shoddy weather in Week 14, as he could only post 24 yards on 5-of-8 receiving against a tough Cleveland defense. However, the former fourth-round pick was the only Tennessee pass-catcher to eclipse four targets and two receptions on the afternoon. Moreover, he punched in his third receiving score of the campaign, and fifth total TD since Week 7. Dike's ceiling might be capped in a volatile Titans' passing game, but he's been the most consistent option of that bunch by far, and has a fine floor as a low-end asset in PPR leagues.
