Chris Olave vs Drake London
Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR OLAVE
Olave is the cleaner route-runner and separator, which tends to translate to stable target earning regardless of surrounding talent. His profile fits as a high-floor weekly WR2 with spike weeks when the Saints’ passing volume cooperates. If New Orleans stabilizes QB play or consolidates targets, his ceiling outcome looks like a consistent top-12 WR without needing elite touchdown rates.
THE CASE FOR LONDON
London has the better bet on alpha usage and red-zone/contested-catch dominance, giving him a clearer path to top-8 WR seasons if the passing environment improves. Atlanta’s offensive direction (better QB play/volume) is the main swing factor, and any step forward amplifies London’s already strong target share case. At 25 with a prototypical X build and ascending situation, he’s the more valuable long-horizon asset.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
London if you can handle a bit more week-to-week volatility; Olave if you need steadier target-driven floor at a discount.
London—his age/situation upside and market value make him the preferred cornerstone and better appreciation bet.
A 33% gap is rich; I’d lean London, but Olave plus a meaningful add is the right way to balance it.

Trade?
If you’re moving Olave for London, aim for London but try to get a 2nd (or an equivalent sweetener) back to offset the 33% premium.
Superflex?
In superflex the WR-vs-WR calculus is basically unchanged, but picks/QBs are inflated, so prioritize getting the “add” in the form of a 2nd/3rd or a depth QB piece.
