Ashton Jeanty vs Drake LondonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Drake London is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 14.0 PPG to Ashton Jeanty's 12.8 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Drake London is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Drake London (14.0 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Ashton Jeanty (12.8 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Ashton Jeanty: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #17 at the position). Drake London: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #7 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR in most league formats.

Ashton Jeanty vs Drake London: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Ashton Jeanty (RB, Las Vegas Raiders) against Drake London (WR, Atlanta Falcons) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Ashton Jeanty averaged 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Drake London posted 14.0 PPG across 12 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Ashton Jeanty has his bye in Week 13, Drake London in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Ashton Jeanty (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Drake London (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
