Horton caught three of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Horton's trip to the end zone Sunday was his third touchdown of the season. The wideout operated as Seattle's No. 3 receiver, playing 30 of the team's 61 offensive snaps behind both Jaxon Smith-Njigba (55) and Cooper Kupp (54). Horton remains hard to trust for fantasy purposes due to his limited opportunities in the passing game. Barring injuries, the rookie remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who should find it extremely difficult to keep up his current touchdown pace. The Seahawks will square off against the Jaguars in Week 6.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Horton has now scored a touchdown in three of his past four games heading into Week 6, and he's worth stashing on your bench in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. He's yet to top four targets, three catches or 39 receiving yards in any outing this year, and he's clearly behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp for the Seahawks. But if Horton started getting more targets then he could emerge as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Snags one pass in win
Rotowire
Horton caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals. He returned two punts for 10 yards.
After scoring twice Week 3, the rookie fifth-round pick played just 36 percent of the offensive snaps Week 4 and was mostly left out of the passing game, as the Seahawks rolled out two tight ends on a majority of their snaps. He's still locked in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, but the low pass volume makes it difficult to produce for fantasy purposes because WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp draw the bulk of the targets.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
It will likely be tough for Horton to command consistent targets when Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp are healthy, but Horton has gotten off to a good start so far in his rookie season. In his past two games, Horton has five catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets against the Steelers and Saints, and he scored at least 11.2 PPR points in each outing. He's worth stashing in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB, and hopefully the Seahawks will start using him more to maximize his upside.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Finds end zone twice Sunday
Rotowire
Horton brought in three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown.
Horton finished second on the Seahawks in targets, receptions and yardage on a low-volume day for the passing attack. The fifth-round rookie has generated five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns through three games. Horton's current role is too small to generate fantasy buzz heading into Thursday's primetime tilt against the Cardinals.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Good to go
Rotowire
Horton (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp have accounted for 67.3 percent of Seattle's targets through two weeks, but Horton found a way to chip in during last Sunday's 31-17 win at Pittsburgh, scoring from 21 yards out on his first NFL catch. The Seahawks likely won't expect much more from him than the occasional big play, unless Smith-Njigba or Kupp misses time with an injury. For Week 3, the rookie figures to handle his usual role as the No. 3 wide receiver in Seattle.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Horton is the No. 3 receiver for the Seahawks behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, and Horton might not get enough targets on a weekly basis to be a consistent Fantasy option when everyone is healthy. But he showed flashes of his potential in Week 2 at Pittsburgh with two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on four targets, and his role could expand as the season goes on. He's a good stash candidate for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Scores on first NFL catch
Rotowire
Horton caught two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers. He also had two punt returns for 30 yards.
Horton scored a 21-yard touchdown on his first NFL catch to open the scoring. The rookie fifth-round pick won the third spot on Seattle's wide receiver depth chart with a strong training camp, and he put his skills on display in Week 2 after a goose egg in his NFL debut. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp will likely continue to get most of Sam Darnold's attention in Week 3 against the Saints.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: No targets in divisional loss
Rotowire
Horton wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
The Seahawks' passing offense ran through Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished with a 9-124-0 line on 13 targets. Horton couldn't get himself into the mix despite handling a 54 percent snap share as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. The Seahawks offense was uninspiring overall, and the limited passing volume will make it difficult for Horton to make a fantasy impact as long as Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp are healthy.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Horton (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Taken in the fifth round of the 2025 Draft, Horton was working with Seattle's first-team offense early in training camp before tweaking his ankle in preseason Week 2. Despite missing practice until Wednesday's uncapped session, he won the No. 3 WR job when Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released during roster cuts, but Horton likely will be a distant third in terms of targets at the position with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp ahead of him on the depth chart.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Horton (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Horton is working through an ankle injury that he picked up during the Seahawks' preseason win over Kansas City this past Friday. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game that Horton could have returned to Friday's contest if needed. The rookie wideout's practice participation over the coming days will should determine his availability for the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Packers on Saturday.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Adds to camp hype with preseason TD
Rotowire
Horton caught three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders. He also had a five-yard punt return.
Horton got a steady diet of targets from Drew Lock while the Seahawks rested established starters such as Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Horton has frequently joined Smith-Njigba and Kupp with the first-team offense in training camp, and the rookie fifth-round pick kept building momentum with Thursday's performance, which included a 10-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Horton may get to play with Darnold in a game situation for the first time in Seattle's next preseason game, Aug. 15 against the Chiefs.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Works with first-team offense
Rotowire
Horton worked with the first-team offense Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Horton's an interesting prospect because he may have been drafted if he left college in 2022 after posting a 71-1,131-8 line at Colorado State, but he returned for his senior year and registered an even better 96-1,136-8 tally. He then chose to stay in school for a fifth season, which was cut short by a knee injury after just six games. Nevertheless, the Seahawks picked him in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after he recorded a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Bell stated that Horton made multiple big plays with the starting offense and looks fully past his knee injury. The fact he's bumped veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the second team this early in camp is an encouraging sign, making it clear Horton can secure the No. 3 job by finishing training camp strong.
The Seahawks selected Horton in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
There's always a reason when a player falls further than expected in the draft, but Horton is a player who always produced in college and demonstrated plus NFL speed with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Horton stood out in a crowded Nevada rotation from 2020-21, at which point he transferred to Colorado State and torched for all of the next three years. Horton is light for his frame and missed the last six games of 2024 due to a knee injury, but if Horton's light frame isn't a problem and if the knee checks out fine then there's nothing obvious to stop Horton from eventually establishing himself as a quality boundary receiver in the NFL.
