Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Drake London

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 11-of-13 targets for 159 yards with a lost fumble in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old had a solid first half before losing control of the ball while reaching for the goal line after a big 30-yard play near halftime. Jefferson then had a quiet third quarter before brewing again for three catches and 59 yards during a fourth-period drive which ultimately led to a K.J. Osborn touchdown. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year is now up to an astounding 20 receptions and 309 yards over his first two games, but is still searching for his first visit to the end zone. Jefferson should have a good shot at doing that in Week 3 versus a Los Angeles Chargers defense that was just pulverized by Tyreek Hill for a 11/215/2 receiving line in the season opener.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught zero passes in Week 1, then caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Given the Falcons' run-heavy approach, London is likely to be game-script dependent. Head coach Arthur Smith doesn't mind keeping things on the ground with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier if it gives the team a win. That said, London does have plenty of upside against a shaky Detroit Lions secondary in Week 3, but he could also see very few targets and bust in fantasy lineups. This is likely a trend that will continue all season. Hopefully, the Lions will score plenty of points, forcing Atlanta to move the ball through the air.
