Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Jordan Whittington

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that second-year wide receiver Tory Horton (shin, groin) got some good news that should allow him to accelerate his process for getting back on the field, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. Macdonald said there's "a chance he can do some stuff toward the end of spring." Horton, who was selected in the fifth round last year out of Colorado State, didn't play beyond Week 9 due to shin and groin injuries. When he was on the field, though, he made plenty of noise, catching 13 of his 22 targets for 161 yards (12.4 yards per reception) and five touchdowns in eight games played (three starts). Additionally, Horton was an asset on special teams, which will continue to make him an asset for the defending Super Bowl champions going into his sophomore campaign. He's still an interesting dynasty/keeper hold for his big-play prowess, but the return of Rashid Shaheed for the 2026 season has put a damper on his 2026 fantasy value as a depth piece for Seattle. RotoBaller has him ranked outside the top-100 wideouts for the upcoming campaign.
