Who Should I Start? Drake London or George Pickens

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness/back) is questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Panthers after missing Wednesday's practice with an illness and then returning as a limited participant on Thursday with an additional back ailment. London has been on a tear of late, topping 100 yards in each of his last two games while finding the endzone four times over that span. Should he miss Sunday's game, receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts are the most likely candidates to see an uptick in targets. However, neither has demonstrated a strong connection with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to this point. The Falcons play in Sunday's early window of games, giving fantasy managers a chance to at least monitor London's gameday status and pivot if necessary.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.
