Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Drake London

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Miami Dolphins are getting calls on wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but don't "have plans to trade him at this point." With Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL, Waddle is a "building block who can translate to any offense." He is due $36 million over 2025-26, which represents a reasonable price for a player of his caliber at his position. ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that Waddle's contract makes him a bit difficult to trade, so the odds are that he'll stay put in Miami this season as their top wideout without Hill in the fold. Miami's offense went off the rails in Week 7 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense, and Waddle had only one catch for 15 yards on four targets. However, the two weeks prior, he went off for 12 catches (17 targets) for 205 yards and a touchdown as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's top target. Waddle will remain a volume-based WR2/3 in fantasy if he sticks with the Dolphins through this year's trade deadline.

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.
