Who Should I Start? Drake London or Keon Coleman

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had a quiet game in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, registering four grabs for a scoreless 42 yards. Though the final line wasn't impressive, he did still draw 10 targets from Michael Penix Jr., and it marked the third straight game in which the 24-year-old recorded double-digit targets. All those looks add up to a 32.0 percent target share, the third-highest total in the league, and the fourth-year pro owns 40.1 percent of the team's air yards, good for fourth-best in the NFL. With that type of usage, the 6-foot-4 wideout is a reliable WR1 on a weekly basis, and Week 8 will be no different. The Falcons take on the Dolphins in a home matchup this Sunday, a defense that has allowed 29.3 points per game, fourth-most thus far in 2025, although they've been much more generous to opposing ground attacks than through the air. Even so, London should see his fair share of targets in a game that the Falcons will be heavily favored.

Since Buffalo Bills second-year wide receiver Keon Coleman had an eight-catch, 112-yard, one-touchdown performance in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, he has 16 catches for 125 yards and one touchdown on 24 targets in five games. He was benched at the start of the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots for disciplinary reasons and has seven grabs for only 34 yards and a touchdown in the last two games. During the bye last week, Coleman tweeted "Say Less" with a handshake emoji, but deleted it almost immediately. It's unclear what exactly the 22-year-old meant by it, but fantasy managers are just wondering if he'll be able to turn it around in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. Coleman hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen, and it wasn't a good sign that he couldn't make an impact in Week 6 with tight end Dalton Kincaid and receiver Curtis Samuel out due to injuries. Maybe the Bills will force the issue with Coleman coming out of their bye, but it's hard to recommend him as a flex play against a Carolina defense that has been stingy against opposing receivers in terms of fantasy points this year.
