Drake London vs Ladd McConkey: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Drake London and Ladd McConkey is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver put up 14.0 PPG in 2025 over 12 games; Ladd McConkey of the Los Angeles Chargers averaged 9.2 in 16. A 4.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.8 points favors Drake London, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Drake London turned 112 targets into 919 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Ladd McConkey converted 106 looks into 789 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Drake London is off Week 12 and Ladd McConkey Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
