Drake London vs Garrett Wilson

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Drake London is the better fantasy play this season.

Drake London has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.4-PPG advantage is real (14.0 to 11.6), and Drake London's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Garrett Wilson is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Drake London: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #7 at the position). Garrett Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #16 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Drake London is producing at 64% of elite pace and Garrett Wilson at 53%. That ranking gap means Drake London carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Drake London vs Garrett Wilson: Who Should You Start?

Drake London and Garrett Wilson are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Drake London averaged 14.0 PPG across 12 games with the Atlanta Falcons, while Garrett Wilson posted 11.6 PPG in 7 appearances for the New York Jets.

A 2.4-PPG gap gives Drake London the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Target volume is the story here. Drake London saw 112 targets in 2025, while Garrett Wilson drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Drake London, even in weeks where Garrett Wilson posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Drake London sits Week 5 while Garrett Wilson is off Week 9. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Drake London (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Garrett Wilson (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
