Tory Horton Gradually Making a Bigger Impact in Seattle

Saturday, October 10, 6:54 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton was held without a target during his first game of the season in Week 2, but he has posted at least 7.6 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games since then. He caught three passes in Week 3, and last Sunday, he hauled in his first touchdown reception of the season. Horton is still fourth on the depth chart, but his youth and upside make him an intriguing stash in dynasty fantasy football leagues. We know the Colorado State product is capable of contributing consistently, as he scored four touchdowns in eight games last year. With that being said, it's hard to envision Horton having any weekly fantasy appeal as long as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed are healthy.

Jalen Royals Playing More, but Targets Remain Scarce

Tuesday, October 20, 8:04 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals has played 83 offensive snaps over his past two games, yet only six passes have come his way. He went without a catch on two targets while playing 38 snaps against Las Vegas in Week 4, then caught two of four targets for 24 yards across 45 snaps in Sunday's 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. That's a big jump in playing time for the second-year receiver, who logged just 22 offensive snaps combined in Weeks 2 and 3. With only 1% of leagues rostering him, Royals is worth a speculative stash in 12-team formats, though his production doesn't justify starting him against Seattle in Week 7. Rashee Rice (hamstring) missed Sunday's game and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) remains sidelined, which opens up opportunities in Kansas City's receiving corps. Still, Xavier Worthy drew seven targets against Los Angeles, and Andrew Armstrong played 42 snaps after being elevated from the practice squad, so Royals faces plenty of competition for meaningful receiving work.
