Drake London vs Tee HigginsWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Drake London is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 14.0 PPG to Tee Higgins's 12.1 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Drake London is the better fantasy play this season.

Drake London has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.9-PPG advantage is real (14.0 to 12.1), and Drake London's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Tee Higgins is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Drake London vs Tee Higgins: The Full Breakdown

Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) finished the 2025 season averaging 14.0 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals) came in at 12.1 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Drake London carries a 1.9-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Drake London turned 112 targets into 919 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Tee Higgins converted 98 looks into 846 yards and 11 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 Tee Higgins rests in Week 6. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Drake London (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Tee Higgins (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
