Tory Horton Ruled Out Against Patriots

Wednesday, September 9, 3:34 PM

Seattle Seahawks second-year wide receiver Tory Horton (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's 2026 season opener at home against the visiting New England Patriots, according to the team. Horton played in only eight games as a rookie in 2025 after being selected in the fifth round from Colorado State, and he will begin his second season in the NFL on the sidelines because of a hamstring injury. Even when healthy, Horton should be on the waiver wire in most single-year fantasy football leagues after he caught just 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets last year, although he did find the end zone five times. With Horton sidelined for the opener in the Super Bowl rematch, Montorie Foster is expected to serve as the WR4 for the Seahawks, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp. Horton is not rostered in any Yahoo leagues to begin Week 1. It remains to be seen if he will make his 2026 debut next weekend versus the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on the road.

Ja'Kobi Lane Could Make Big Plays in Ravens Offense in Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 8:07 AM

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane is poised to line up opposite Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman but he still could be very involved in the Week 1 game plan for the Ravens in their matchup against Indianapolis. He could see Colts' defensive backs Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward in matchups but the 6-foot-4, 200 pound rookie could be a matchup nightmare on the outside. The targets might not be plentiful in Week 1 for Lane but look for him to make the most of his throws from Lamar Jackson. He could work as a nice change of pace threat with Derrick Henry running the ball and Flowers using his speed on deep routes. Lane has the tools to make plays in the NFL, but Week 1 will be the first chance many get to see his big-play ability. Look for a big play or two at least in his NFL debut.
