Both Chris Olave and Drake London are from the NFC South, but they also share the same fantasy manager in many cases. As such, making the call between London and Olave can be immensely difficult. Here is a look at both receivers as well as a recommendation to help you win your Week 4 matchup.

Is Chris Olave a good pick in Week 4?

Chris Olave is a solid pick this week. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, Olave is in line to earn potential WR1 numbers at 15.6 points. He is expected to have six receptions for nearly 80 yards with a 30% chance at earning a touchdown. Alvin Kamara appears to be at less-than-perfect health this week, so that may help raise the floor on Olave.

Even if Kamara is still able to get on the field, the Saints may opt to hand a few extra passing plays to Olave to help manage the running back's health.

Is Drake London a good pick in Week 4?

Drake London has been reasonably productive over the past two weeks. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, London is in line to earn 14.2 points this week. His main competition will be Bijan Robinson and the overall shape of the game.

If the Falcons get up early, London will see less usage. However, if the Falcons trail for most of the contest as many are expecting, London could be in for a solid to great day.

According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, the Saints wide receiver gets the nod. Chris Olave is expected to earn about a point and a half more than Drake London, making him the more optimal choice. However, both options are solid this week.

This will be a divisional battle in the NFC South. Divisional battles often feature less offensive production than other matchups, because both teams are familiar with each other after playing twice per season.

However, with Kirk Cousins in town, a new head coach leading the Falcons and Bijan Robinson's usage being somewhat different, this will take on the similar vibe of an interdivisional matchup instead of an intradivisional matchup.
