Who Should I Start? Drake London or Brian Thomas Jr.

Saturday, September 27, 12:26 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London drew a healthy eight targets in Week 3, turning them into five catches for 55 yards. The fourth-year wideout continues to be an integral part of the team's passing attack, but unfortunately, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has yet to throw a touchdown to any of his wide receivers so far this year. That could change in Week 4 against a Washington defense that just allowed three receiving touchdowns last week, and a defense that has been tougher against the run. London will continue to be involved, leading the team with a 26 percent target share in 2025, and the 6-foot-4 receiver has seen his aDOT grow from 6.94 after the first two games to 8.63 after Week 3. The 24-year-old looks like a low-end WR1 this week, but could finish higher if he finally finds the end zone.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the 49ers. Thomas has been battling a wrist injury. Fortunately, he logged full practices throughout the week. Thomas had a stellar rookie year, amassing 87 catches (133 targets) for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, he struggled in the Jags' first three games of the 2025 campaign, catching only seven passes for 115 yards. With that in mind, Thomas has been targeted 25 times this season, so it's obvious he remains a go-to option for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. While the 22-year-old still can't be trusted fully from a fantasy standpoint, there's really not a scenario where managers can feel comfortable keeping him out of the starting lineup, especially considering his upside. It's also worth noting that Dyami Brown (shoulder) may not play.
