News: 2 days agoHorton brought in his lone target for a six-yard touchdown during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers.

Spin: Horton saw just one target from Sam Darnold in Sunday's game, but the second-year wideout answered the call by hauling in the pass for a six-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to extend Seattle's lead to 27-6. It was the fifth touchdown catch of Horton's young NFL career and first since his two-TD performance in Week 9 of the 2025 season, which was the last appearance of his rookie campaign due to shin and groin injuries. Horton is firmly entrenched as the Seahawks' WR4 on the roster behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp, and Horton also is behind Shaheed as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Horton had the look of a Day 3 find by Seattle early on in 2025 prior to a season-ending shin injury suffered in Week 9. The 2025 fifth-round pick opened his career buried on the depth chart behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but still found a way to make an impact while being limited to 46% of the offensive snaps. Though his production was volatile and he never cleared five targets in a game, he found the end zone five times on 23 targets. Despite the impressive showing, Horton's short-term outlook is dicey with JSN, Kupp and Rashid Shaheed presumably ahead of him on the depth chart. The 23-year-old's primary value is as a dynasty stash.
