Who Should I Start? Drake London or Romeo Doubs

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden kicked off training camp as the two starters in two-WR sets, according to team reporter Weston Hodkiewicz. While Day 1 training-camp usage should be taken with a grain of salt, this could signal that Jayden Reed will continue to be primarily utilized in three-WR sets. Reed has provided boom weeks for fantasy managers through the first two seasons of his career despite ranking outside the top 70 wide receivers in snap share. It comes as no surprise that Golden, a rookie first-round pick out of Texas, is running with the first team offense, and the team could be hoping he develops into the clear No. 1 wide receiver for Jordan Love. Ultimately, Reed will remain on the fantasy football radar, but his ceiling is limited if Green Bay continues to be unwilling to play him as a full-time receiver.
