Who Should I Start? Drake London or Tank Dell

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.

The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will most likely miss the entire 2025 season and be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Dell tore his ACL, LCL and MCL and also suffered meniscus damage to his left knee and a dislocated kneecap on Dec. 21 of last year. The 25-year-old has already had multiple surgeries on his knee and most likely will not be able to get back on the field this upcoming season, which shouldn't come as a big surprise given the severity of his injury. Dell could be back at some point in 2026, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's never the same player after such a devastating knee injury. It's why Houston drafted both Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in this year's NFL draft after losing Stefon Diggs in free agency. Before his injury last year, Dell had a 51-667-3 line on 81 targets for Houston.
