Drake London vs George Pickens: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Drake London and George Pickens is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Drake London averaged 14.0 PPG with the Atlanta Falcons across 12 games, and George Pickens posted 14.4 with the Dallas Cowboys in 17.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Drake London turned 112 targets into 919 yards and 7 touchdowns, while George Pickens converted 137 looks into 1429 yards and 9 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Drake London has his bye in Week 11, and George Pickens rests in Week 14. 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.
