Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Jaylin Lane

The Seattle Seahawks don't have an answer on whether rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) will be able to make it back this year, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. "We'll see about Tory. He's taking it as he improves right now. He's got some hurdles he's got to get over. We'll wait to see him get over those hurdles, but if he gets over them, we can get him back," head coach Mike Macdonald said. The 23-year-old is eligible to return for the team's Week 16 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night, but that's unlikely to happen, and Horton could end up missing the rest of the regular season. If he cannot play in the next three weeks, it's unclear if he'd be ready to return for the postseason. The fifth-round selection out of Colorado State wasn't involved all that much in his first eight NFL games, but he did score five touchdowns on 13 receptions. Horton is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in the next couple of weeks.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hip injury, but was upgraded to full on Friday and heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation. Lane suffered the injury during Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but had the bye week to recover and is good to go for Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense than expected this season with Washington being ravaged by injury at wide receiver. The speedy rookie has recorded a reception in all 11 games this season, totaling 16 catches for 225 yards on 30 targets. He had the longest catch of his career with a 41-yard gain on a deep ball from Marcus Mariota in Week 10 against the Lions. However, he figures to slide back into a depth role in Week 13 against the Broncos with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) both returning.
