Drake London vs Michael Wilson: Who Should You Start?
Drake London and Michael 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 Michael Wilson posted 10.7 PPG in 17 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.
A 3.3-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 Michael Wilson converted 126 looks into 1006 yards and 7 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Drake London has his bye in Week 12, and Michael Wilson rests in Week 11. 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.
