Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Drake London

Friday, October 24, 12:29 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 11 targets for 74 yards during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jefferson was heavily targeted by quarterback Carson Wentz, who made yet another start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy (ankle). The star receiver had a relatively modest showing by his standards, finishing with fewer than 75 yards for the first time since Week 1. He remains Wentz's No. 1 target, but his upside is capped when the offense struggles to stay on the field. Jefferson will look to bounce back as a solid WR1 against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, especially if McCarthy can return from his five-game absence.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins due to a hip injury. London was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but was downgraded to limited participation on Friday. On Saturday, the team officially listed him as questionable, but he was unable to progress enough to suit up. Managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game against the New England Patriots in Week 9. With London sitting out, managers should expect Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts Sr. to see the majority of the targets in the passing game. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will also see his upside limited without his top pass catcher this afternoon. Mooney projects to carry high-end WR3 upside operating as the clear WR1 in this offense.
