Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Roman Wilson

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will be a healthy inactive for the Monday Night Football game against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 15, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. It's the second straight game that Wilson will sit on the sidelines without dealing with an injury. It coincides with the team picking up veteran Adam Thielen for WR depth behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 has only 12 receptions on the year on 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games in his second year in the NFL. In addition to Thielen, the Steelers have added veteran wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their active roster, pushing Wilson further down the WR depth chart in Pittsburgh.
