Tory Horton Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR96 last season at 8.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR111 at 3.9 PPR points per game, against 8.1 over 8 games last season (WR96). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 107th of 142 in target volume (4.8% target share), 89th of 142 in downfield role (9.0% air-yards share) and 97th of 142 in efficiency (1.18 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Drew Lock is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Horton packed a lot of upside into a tiny rookie sample. The 2025 fifth-rounder played eight games on a 48.1 percent snap share, running 136 routes for 22 targets and 13-161-5, with an eye-popping five touchdowns on just a 4.8 percent target share. The downfield profile is the draw: 15.32 air yards per target, 25.92 air yards per reception, and a 0.466 EPA per play with a 54.5 percent success rate and zero drops on 13 catchable balls, elite efficiency for a Day 3 receiver buried behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
The touchdown rate (five scores on 13 grabs) is wildly unsustainable, and his 0.135 WOPR and 1.18 yards per route flag how thin the volume was. Still behind JSN and Jake Bobo on the Seahawks chart, Horton needs a target bump to matter weekly, but the 22-year-old vertical separator offers breakout equity if Seattle expands his role. He is a late-round dart in redraft and, more compellingly, a worthwhile dynasty stash with WR3 upside.
What Drives His Outlook
