Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Drake London

Tuesday, September 9, 1:04 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had 44 receiving yards on four catches and a touchdown in a 27-24 win against the Bears. Jefferson earned a team-high seven targets, but was unable to get touches early in the game as quarterback J.J. McCarthy struggled. The offense started moving the ball better and sustained some drives in the second half. Jefferson caught a laser beam from McCarthy for a 13-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Jefferson uncharacteristically dropped a pretty well-placed ball from McCarthy on a deep over, although McCarthy was a tad late. There should be better days for Jefferson as he and McCarthy continue to build rapport and gain more reps together. He is still locked in as one of the three best wide receivers in fantasy football.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (shoulder) is day-to-day after being diagnosed with a shoulder sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finishing the contest with 15 targets, eight catches, and 55 yards. London will have more diagnostic tests, but the Falcons believe that their No. 1 receiver avoided a potentially serious injury. This is good news for Atlanta, which will strongly benefit from having him available in a potential high-scoring affair against the Minnesota Vikings next week. There's also a chance that Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who missed Sunday's game, could return in Week 2 alongside London. Unless we get an unfavorable update on London's status, he should be treated as a low-end WR1.
