More Snaps, Opportunities Coming for Tyquan Thornton?

Tuesday, March 10, 1:40 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

Tory Horton Could Do Some Stuff "Toward the End of Spring"

Tuesday, May 26, 6:08 PM

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.
