Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Drake London

Saturday, September 13, 1:39 AM

Despite heading to the medical tent twice, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave led the team with 13 targets, turning them into seven receptions for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Kellen Moore's offense appeared aggressive, as quarterback Spencer Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes in Week 1. This bodes well for the fourth-year receiver, who looks poised to become a go-to target in the pass-heavy attack. Olave should have plenty of opportunities to build chemistry with Rattler and, as long as he remains healthy, projects as a borderline WR2/WR3 this week against the San Francisco 49ers.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (shoulder) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. The 24-year-old suffered a shoulder sprain in Week 1 but appears to be on track to play in Sunday night's matchup against Minnesota. The former first-round draft pick was heavily involved last week, drawing 15 looks from quarterback Michael Penix Jr., turning it into eight catches for 55 yards. London averaged 13 targets in the three games Penix Jr. started at the end of 2024, so this appears to be a continuation of that. As such, against a Minnesota defense that is much easier to throw on than run on, London should be the team's top target-earner again in Week 2. The fourth-year wideout projects as a low-end WR1 option on Sunday night, but carries some upside against a banged-up Vikings defense.
