Bhayshul Tuten or Drake London: Who Should You Start?

2026 Week 2 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

Start Drake London over Bhayshul Tuten for the sturdier PPR workload

Start Drake London: his WR1 role and near-every-down deployment give him a sturdier PPR floor than Bhayshul Tuten's split-backfield workload. London's quiet opener is the real risk, but ESPN 2026-09-17 supports staying with a primary target whose role remains intact. Tuten's encouraging Week 1 (ESPN 2026-09-13) shows his big-play upside, yet limited involvement makes him more dependent on a home run.

What flips it: A confirmed workload expansion for Tuten.

Why Bhayshul Tuten

Sit

Explosive RB with elite straight-line speed. Home-run threat splitting carries in the Jacksonville backfield.

Sit — RB21 consensus, projects RB33 this week: DEN is the 8th-softest matchup vs RBs, 5% target share.

  • Explosive speed can turn modest usage into a splash play, but it cannot erase the backfield split.
  • Tuten's best path is a long gain; without it, his limited receiving role leaves little margin.

Why Drake London

Start

WR1 and primary target. Big-bodied X receiver who wins contested catches at the catch point with elite ball skills.

Start — every-week WR start at consensus WR7: 21% target share, 15.5 PPR projected vs CAR.

  • London's WR1 role gives him multiple routes to production even if the matchup does not boost him.
  • The recent quiet line is the risk, especially if contested-catch efficiency remains below his norm.

Latest on London
