Drake London vs Garrett Wilson: Who Should You Start?
Drake London and Garrett Wilson are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Drake London averaged 14.0 PPG across 12 games with the Atlanta Falcons, while Garrett Wilson posted 11.6 PPG in 7 appearances for the New York Jets.
A 2.4-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 Garrett Wilson drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Drake London, even in weeks where Garrett Wilson posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
