Should You Start or Sit Tory Horton in Week 4?
We are seeing rookies like Pat Bryant in Denver struggle to earn playing time while others get on the field and thrive right away like Tetairoa McMillan.
Development is a non-linear process and has a million moving pieces; never forget that.
The first piece in most equations is talent, followed closely by opportunity. Tory Horton has the former and is proving deserving of the latter.
He was held without a target on 17 routes in his NFL debut, but has vacuumed in eight targets on 34 routes since, scoring in both games.
Oh yes, and he pulled a reverse Kaleb Johnson and scored for the right team on special teams via a 95-yard punt return during their throttling of the Saints on Sunday.
I’m not here to say that Horton is the next big thing. Cooper Kupp signed a three-year $45 million deal in March and that alone is going to suppress Horton’s playing time, but if he shows the type of juice he did over the weekend consistently and the Kupp experience follows the trajectory from a season ago, we could be looking at a late-season flex who is earning a handful of targets per game.
Those looks aren’t a lock to be valuable if you believe Sam Darnold was more the creation of Kevin O’Connell than anything last season, but there is certainly a way for this to run out where Horton is facing a tapped-out Panthers team in sunny Carolina in Week 17, making a difference in your most important fantasy matchup of the season.
