Alec Pierce vs Drake London: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Alec Pierce (Indianapolis Colts) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.7 fantasy points per game in 15 games. Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) came in at 14.0 PPG over 12 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Drake London carries a 3.3-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. Drake London saw 112 targets in 2025, while Alec Pierce drew 84. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Drake London, even in weeks where Alec Pierce posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Alec Pierce sits Week 14 while Drake London is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
