Drake London vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
Drake London and Travis Hunter are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver averaged 14.0 PPG in 2025, a full 6.9 points per game ahead of Travis Hunter's 7.1 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
A 6.9-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 Travis Hunter drew 45. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Drake London, even in weeks where Travis Hunter 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 Travis Hunter rests in Week 8. 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.
