Who Should I Start? Drake London or Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Atlanta Falcons exercised the fifth-year option on wide receiver Drake London on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. This was a no-brainer decision after London posted career-highs in catches (100), targets (158), receiving yards (1,271) and touchdowns (nine) in 17 starts in 2024 in his third year in the NFL. The 23-year-old eighth overall pick in 2022 will now be under contract with the Falcons through the 2026 season, but he could sign a long-term extension well before that if he has another big year in 2025. It was impressive performance for London last year, especially when considering that quarterback Kirk Cousins fell flat in his first year back from an Achilles tear and was benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr. late in the season. It's good news that he caught 22 passes for 352 yards and two TDs in the final three games with Penix. London is a surefire WR1 in fantasy.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said that he added muscle this offseason as a result of eating the right foods. "I definitely put on some pounds," Harrison said on Monday at the team's facility. "I think I added some muscle to my body a little bit. Still just trying to see how my body feels throughout OTAs. Kind of get that specific weight to settle in for training camp and go from there." The 22-year-old had high expectations in his rookie year in 2024 with Arizona after being the fourth overall pick, but he didn't live up to them after catching 62 passes for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. He thinks that "contested-catch situations, run after the catch" will be areas that he can improve in 2025 now that he's stronger and bigger. Tight end Trey McBride took a lot of targets away from Harrison, but he shouldn't have much competition for targets otherwise as he looks to improve in Year 2.
