The Bottom Line

Drake London is the better fantasy play this season.

Drake London is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 14.0 PPG and 919 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Jakobi Meyers (8.6 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Drake London as the starter and Jakobi Meyers as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Drake London: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #7 at the position). Jakobi Meyers: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #42 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Drake London is producing at 64% of elite pace and Jakobi Meyers at 39%. That ranking gap means Drake London carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Drake London vs Jakobi Meyers: Who Should You Start?

Drake London and Jakobi Meyers 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 Jakobi Meyers posted 8.6 PPG in 16 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A 5.4-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.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Drake London turned 112 targets into 919 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Jakobi Meyers converted 110 looks into 835 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Drake London is off Week 5 and Jakobi Meyers Week 8. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Drake London at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Jakobi Meyers is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Drake London (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Jakobi Meyers (age 29) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
