Who Should I Start? Drake London or Rashee Rice

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs consider wide receiver Rashee Rice their clear No. 1 option and have not entertained trade offers for other players at the position. A team source told Dianna Russini, "He's better than any trade we could make. People don't realize how good he is." Rice, currently serving a six-game suspension for charges related to a hit-and-run, was on a phenomenal pace in 2024 before the setback. He hauled in 24 of 29 targets for 288 yards and two touchdowns in just three games. Scheduled to return in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Rice is expected to reclaim his WR1 role in Kansas City immediately. With the fantasy wide receiver market looking uncertain, Rice has the potential to step right back into the WR1 fold in most formats this season.
