Malik Nabers vs Tory Horton: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Malik Nabers and Tory Horton is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New York Giants wide receiver put up 12.0 PPG in 2025 over 4 games; Tory Horton of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 7.3 in 8. A 4.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.7 points favors Malik Nabers, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Malik Nabers turned 35 targets into 271 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Tory Horton converted 22 looks into 161 yards and 5 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Malik Nabers sits Week 11 while Tory Horton is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
