Drake London fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Drake London for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End WR3 Or Low-End WR2
ANALYSIS: Drake London is in a prime position in 2024 to raise his fantasy stock from good to great. London has always been a solid fantasy wide receiver; however, he has suffered from weak and inconsistent quarterback play in the past. Now, with Kirk Cousins at the helm, he should see better throws and more consistent targets.
London is coming off a Week 2 matchup where he was targeted seven times, accumulated six receptions for 54 yards, and even scored a game-winning touchdown. These numbers were good enough for 17.4 fantasy points (PPR) and an overall WR19 finish.

Week 3 brings an extraordinarily favorable matchup for London, as the Atlanta Falcons are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs currently rank as the second-worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing 256.5 passing yards per game. This bodes well for the Cousins/London duo, as there is potential for them to go off for a high volume of receptions and passing/receiving yards.
As Cousins and the new Falcons offense continue to build chemistry and start to play better, London’s weekly fantasy value will keep going up. Right now, he should be started as your WR3 or even in a flex spot, but he could secure a more prominent role on your roster come midseason. Still, London is already a must-start option in all but the shallowest leagues.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants. The team just announced that star wideout Puka Nacua will not suit up due to a hip injury. While Davante Adams is […]
Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
