Who Should I Start? Tory Horton or Ryan Flournoy

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton should remain on your bench in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Horton continues to produce at a high level, and he will be difficult for the Seahawks to keep off the field. Horton has a nose for the end zone. He has scored four touchdowns in his first five games in the league. Unfortunately, his volume has been low. Horton has yet to exceed 39 receiving yards or four targets in a game. Despite the low volume, Horton's efficiency has been absurd. Three of his eight receptions this season have gone for touchdowns, and he has returned a punt for a touchdown. While the Jaguars boast a solid defense, they are relatively banged up in the secondary. Their recent addition of Greg Newsome II will help, but Jacksonville needs to worry about wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp first. Horton has a great chance to get lost in the shuffle and find the end zone once again in a game that projects to be relatively competitive. He is still not worthy of a start, but Horton could be a great second-half player in 2025.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy is coming off a fantastic performance in Week 5. Flournoy hauled in six of his nine targets for 114 yards in the win over the New York Jets. The 25-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a career-game last week. The assumption is that the Cowboys are going to keep him involved going forward. This offense remains without their top option in CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for Week 6. That being said, George Pickens figures to draw the most attention on defense, which could leave Flournoy in favorable coverage. The lack of prior success does make Flournoy a risky choice. He's more of a flex option in deep leagues because it's unclear if he can duplicate that performance.
