Who Should I Start? Drake London or Jalen Tolbert

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) logged his second straight limited practice on Thursday due to a hip injury. London was a late addition to the injury report before Atlanta's Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins and ended up missing the game. It's a good sign that he's been able to practice in a limited capacity so far this week, but London's status remains up in the air heading into Atlanta's Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. Across six games played so far this season, the 24-year-old has recorded 38 catches for 469 yards and two touchdowns on 63 targets. If London misses a second straight game, Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney (hamstring) and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (ankle) would be the most likely target beneficiaries, although both are battling injuries of their own. If London is active, he profiles as a must-start wide receiver in Week 9 against New England.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been a modest producer so far this season, recording 14 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets across eight games played. Tolbert's playing time and target share have been trending downwards in recent weeks. After earning 18 targets over his first four games of 2025, Tolbert has been targeted just six times over his four most recent contests. Tolbert was always projected to be behind star wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the Dallas depth chart. However, Tolbert was also out-snapped by both Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in the Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. When Lamb was sidelined by an ankle injury from Weeks 4-6, Tolbert was largely outplayed by Flournoy. Even if Lamb or Pickens were to get injured, Tolbert may now still find it difficult to get on the field. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.
