Fantasy Tiers

Stefon Diggs: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #30 at the position). Tory Horton: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #46 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Stefon Diggs is producing at 45% of elite pace and Tory Horton at 38%.

Stefon Diggs vs Tory Horton: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Stefon Diggs and Tory Horton for your lineup, you are not alone. Stefon Diggs finished the 2025 season at 9.9 PPG for the New England Patriots (17 games), and Tory Horton averaged 8.4 for the Seattle Seahawks (7 games).

That 1.5-point weekly advantage for Stefon Diggs is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Target volume is the story here. Stefon Diggs saw 102 targets in 2025, while Tory Horton drew 22. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Stefon Diggs, even in weeks where Tory Horton posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Both share a Week 11 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Stefon Diggs (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Tory Horton (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
