Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London expressed enthusiasm regarding the team's pass-heavy offense under new coordinator Zac Robinson. "Ball is gonna be in the air," said London during a recent interview. "Getting faster for a quarterback that's seen it all, it's a really cool situation to have because we'd like to dictate what goes on in a stadium on a weekly basis. The faster we can play, the more efficient we can play, hopefully the more points we have." The 22-year-old was drafted No. 8 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. However, he hasn't lived up to expectations, accumulating 141 grabs for 1,771 yards and only six touchdowns in 33 games. But with Kirk Cousins under center and a new offensive coordinator, fantasy managers are ready to get London on their rosters for the 2024-25 campaign.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London continued his inconsistent campaign during Sunday's regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. The second-year wideout hauled in four of his nine targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was a perfect example of how the 2023 season has gone for London. The young wideout shows he has the skills to be an impactful player, but the below average performances by his quarterbacks continues to hold him back. London finishes the season with 69 receptions for 905 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The hope is that his value will go up once the Falcons get an upgrade at the quarterback spot. For now, London should be treated as a WR3 heading into next season.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has struggled to produce reliable results over the last few games. Over the last three games, London has nine receptions for 119 yards and has been held without a touchdown in that span. In fact, London hasn't found the end zone in 11 straight games. To be fair, it's not all his fault as the Falcons continue to have trouble finding a viable option at quarterback. Given the Falcons problems, it's tough to trust that London is going to produce on a weekly basis. He'll be a risky choice for DFS contests because the Falcons will likely use a run-heavy approach in Week 18.
