Who Should I Start? Drake London or George Pickens

Monday, December 8, 5:36 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. London hasn't practiced or played since spraining the PCL in his knee in Week 11, and although he's been listed as day-to-day this week, it's bad news that the 24-year-old is a DNP on Monday with the team's next game coming on Thursday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. London is going to need to get back on the practice field on Tuesday or Wednesday to have a shot at returning in Week 15. When active, London is a must-start for fantasy purposes, even with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year. If London misses a third straight game, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be the Falcons' leading receiver again.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has already posted career highs in receptions (73), receiving yards (1,142), and touchdowns in 12 games this season. Pickens has been a seamless fit in his first year with the Cowboys and has formed one of the most dynamic wide receiver duos in the league with CeeDee Lamb. The 24-year-old was limited in practice on Monday with calf and knee injuries, but he has been cleared from the injury report and is all set to play Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. It's a dream matchup for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, as Detroit has played man coverage at a league-high 42.8% clip this season. Pickens has arguably been the best receiver against man coverage this season, leading all players by a wide margin with 463 yards against man, per Fantasy Points Data. In a matchup featuring the highest projected point total of the week, Pickens profiles as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football in Week 14.
