Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Saturday, November 22, 5:07 PM

The Seattle Seahawks have placed wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) on injured reserve before Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Horton will now be sidelined for a minimum of four games with a shin injury. The 22-year-old rookie has been held out of the previous two games due to this shin injury before landing on injured reserve. The former Colorado State standout has shown flashes in the first half of his rookie season. We last saw Horton reeling in four catches for 48 yards with two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. The earliest Horton could return this season is Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers with an IR spot can hang onto him in deep leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. is trying to take advantage of expanded opportunities in Week 11. Thornton only caught one pass for four yards in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, but played 60% of the snaps, which ranked second on the team. With the Dallas Cowboys on the slate in Week 11, Thornton could offer big-play upside in deeper leagues and DFS formats. The Cowboys have allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so this could be a big week for the rookie receiver. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11, look for Thornton to make an impact in Week 11.
