Terry McLaurin vs Tory Horton: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Terry McLaurin and Tory Horton is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Terry McLaurin averaged 9.5 PPG with the Washington Commanders across 10 games, and Tory Horton posted 8.4 with the Seattle Seahawks in 7.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Target volume is the story here. Terry McLaurin saw 60 targets in 2025, while Tory Horton drew 22. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Terry McLaurin, even in weeks where Tory Horton posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Terry McLaurin has his bye in Week 7, and Tory Horton rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
