Who Should I Start? Drake London or Zay Flowers

Wednesday, December 17, 12:06 PM

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Drake London (knee), who is considered day-to-day, will practice on Wednesday so the team can see where he's at, according to Terrin Waack of AtlantaFalcons.com. Morris said on Monday that he's "very hopeful" that London will return in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals. Wednesday will be the first time that the 24-year-old has practiced since spraining his left PCL back in Week 11. He's not a lock to play on Sunday against Arizona, but his return to practice at least gives his fantasy managers hope that he might be available this weekend. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has had a much higher ceiling with London out, as evidenced by his monster 11-catch, 166-yard, three-touchdown spectacle last Thursday night. London is typically a must-start WR1 in fantasy when he's active, but he'll be a bit more volatile in Week 16 if he returns and is on a snap count.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers finally returned to WR1 territory last week for the first time since his Week 1 outburst against the Buffalo Bills. Even though he finally broke the streak of non-WR1 finishes, he still hasn't found the end zone since the first game of the season. The encouraging part is that he received 11 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hauled in eight of those for 124 yards. Their Week 15 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, have been a bit more stingy to opposing receivers in fantasy this year. The Bengals rank as the toughest defense against the position over the last four weeks, giving up an average of 15.13 fantasy points per game. The last time Flowers faced the Bengals in Week 13, he finished as the WR106. He projects as a low-end WR2 in this matchup, but it probably doesn't feel great for fantasy managers that need him.
