Drake London vs Justin Jefferson: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) finished the 2025 season averaging 14.0 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) came in at 9.4 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Drake London carries a 4.6-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Justin Jefferson saw 141 targets in 2025, while Drake London drew 112. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Justin Jefferson, even in weeks where Drake London posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Drake London has his bye in Week 5, and Justin Jefferson rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
