C Horton - S WAS (1 Viewer)

[SugarNuts]

I know Horton is starting because of injuries, but what are his long term chances of being a starter? His stats seem good, but I know fantasy stats do not make a stud in the game.

Anyone have any info on him?

Not necessarily true. Yes, Doughty is officially injured and on IR, but Horton was working his way into the starting SS role anyways.

He's a sure tackler with really good instincts. He's playing a lot "in the box" and should post good tackle numbers against teams that run a lot. He's been on and off the field because of mental mistakes, mostly in coverage. But, that area of his game seems to be improving. He did a good job against Winslow this past week. When he's where he's supposed to be, he makes plays.Overall, I'm very excited for his future.

:( He's one of those players who you always notice on the field. Don't be surprised if he ends up as the defensive ROY. His draft position means nothing now.

The little of the Redskins I have seen I am always noticing Horton. They were mentioning that he and Fletcher were working well together and from what I seen those two were leading the defense in tandem.
