Drake London or Jeremiyah Love: Who Should You Start?

2026 Week 4 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

London’s target funnel gives him the edge over Love’s committee role

Drake London’s primary-target role is a firmer foundation than Jeremiyah Love’s committee workload, with the small projection and rank edges reinforcing the call. Love’s recent role growth (ESPN 2026-09-28) and Arizona’s favored game script give him a real path to outscore London, so this is a narrow preference, not a reason to bench Love. London’s risk is his recent scoring volatility; Love’s is that his expanded role may not yet translate into dependable volume.

What flips it: Love’s expanded role becomes dependable enough to narrow the workload gap.

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: 26% target share, 16.7 PPR projected vs NO.

  • As Atlanta’s WR1, London has a clear path to targets even if the offense struggles to sustain drives.
  • The short DvP sample offers little reason to fear New Orleans, but it is too thin to drive the pick.
