Fantasy Tiers

Drake London: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #7 at the position). Jake Tonges: Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #15 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE in most league formats.

Drake London vs Jake Tonges: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Drake London (WR, Atlanta Falcons) against Jake Tonges (TE, San Francisco 49ers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Drake London averaged 14.0 PPG in 2025 over 12 games, while Jake Tonges posted 8.5 PPG across 9 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Drake London has his bye in Week 11, Jake Tonges in Week 8. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

If you can acquire Drake London at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it.

Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Jake Tonges (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
