Who Should I Start? Drake London or George Pickens

Sunday, September 28, 9:14 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London broke out of an early-season slump with a dominant Week 4 performance in his team's 34-27 win over the Washington Commanders. London recorded eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The 24-year-old has now logged 24 receptions for 269 yards and a score on 37 targets through four games. London's current average of 9.25 targets per game would put him on pace for over 150 targets in a 17-game season, so his production going forward is more a question of efficiency than volume. As long as he stays healthy, London profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Coming off a monster Week 4, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens could be an even more active part of the Week 5 game plan, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The offseason trade acquisition had his best game of the season last week against Green Bay, going for eight catches, 134 yards, and two touchdowns in Dallas' first full game without CeeDee Lamb (ankle). This week, with a matchup against the New York Jets and cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner looming, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said the club plans to move Pickens all over formations to create favorable matchups. That should sound good to managers who roster Pickens, who figures to continue as the top option in Dallas as long as Lamb is out.
