Drake London vs Ja'Marr Chase: Who Should You Start?

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 Ja'Marr Chase is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
