Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Ryan Flournoy

Wednesday, November 5, 10:56 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been a touchdown machine in his rookie season, scoring five touchdowns on just 13 receptions. He posted a career day in Week 9 with four catches for 48 yards and two scores while logging a season-high 73% snap share. However, Seattle's trade for Rashid Shaheed may limit Horton's fantasy trajectory. Shaheed recorded 44 receptions in nine games with the Saints this season and is expected to slide in as the No. 2 option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Shaheed likely to command consistent snaps and targets, Horton becomes a far more volatile play. He should be viewed as a stash-only option in deeper leagues, not a weekly fantasy starter.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy has cooled off after his brief breakout stretch in Weeks 5 and 6, when he totaled nine receptions for 144 yards. In Week 7, Flournoy was held without a target, coinciding with the return of star receiver CeeDee Lamb. Flournoy's snap share dropped from 65% during his productive stretch to just 28% in Week 7, as Lamb reclaimed his dominant role in the offense. With George Pickens and Jake Ferguson also commanding targets, Flournoy is now buried in a crowded depth chart. Fantasy managers can confidently drop Flournoy in all formats moving forward.
