The Seattle Seahawks (3-1) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) in Week 5. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Tory Horton.
Is Tory Horton Playing in Week 5?
Horton is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Seahawks’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tory Horton in Week 5?
The idea of Tory Horton (6’2″ with athletic tools) is solid in a Seahawks offense that is looking for juice next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, we just aren’t all the way there yet.
The rookie caught touchdown passes in Weeks 2-3 and just missed a chunk play in Arizona on Thursday night when Seattle perfectly disguised their shot play with three TEs and got him singled up downfield.
The more I see things like that, the more I think that Horton is the WR2 in Seattle by the time the fantasy playoffs roll around and that could land him on the flex radar.
But we aren’t there yet. Horton has yet to earn five targets in a game this season and that creates far too low of a floor.
