Drake London vs Jakobi Meyers: Who Should You Start?
Drake London and Jakobi Meyers 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 Jakobi Meyers posted 8.6 PPG in 16 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A 5.4-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.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Drake London turned 112 targets into 919 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Jakobi Meyers converted 110 looks into 835 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
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.
