Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Drake London

Thursday, September 21, 5:14 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has put together back-to-back strong performances to open the season. The veteran wideout has hauled in 12 receptions for 237 yards and two touchdowns during the first two games of the season. The Bucs have targeted Evans heavy in the passing game and that is likely to continue going forward. Evans will now head into a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. A defensive unit that is normally solid, but has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season. That being said, Evans should remain in the WR2 conversation for the upcoming Monday night matchup.

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.
