Both receivers had disappointing starts, with London struggling due to a lack of effective quarterback play, while Pickens had a quiet Week 1 but is expected to rebound. Analysts note that London could regain his status as a must-start wide receiver if a different quarterback takes over for the struggling Cooper Rush.
