Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Drake London

Saturday, November 23, 12:20 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), who is expected to play in Week 12 against the New York Giants despite a questionable tag on the final injury report, said he had no concerns about aggravating his right hamstring in his return this Sunday. Evans sustained the injury in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens while he was already dealing with a hamstring injury in the same leg but in a different location of the muscle. The future Hall of Famer has missed the last three games, tied for the longest absence in his amazing career. Head coach Todd Bowles did leave open the possibility of pulling Evans on Sunday if needed, but fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to put Evans back in their starting lineups this weekend as quarterback Baker Mayfield's clear top target in the passing game. Evans needs to average 95 receiving yards per game the rest of 2024 to tie Jerry Rice's NFL-record 11 straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London led his team in receiving yards, but it didn't amount to much in a 38-6 blowout loss to the Broncos on Sunday. The 23-year-old caught three of seven targets for 61 scoreless yards. After scoring in six of the Falcons' first nine games, the former first-round draft pick has been held out of the end zone in two consecutive weeks. Even so, Sunday marked the ninth time in 11 games that the USC product drew at least six targets, so he's maintained a strong role in this offense. When the team comes out of the bye in Week 13, another challenge could await against the Chargers, although they haven't been as stingy in allowing fantasy points to receivers in recent weeks as they had been earlier in the year. London is likely a back-end WR1 in that matchup.
