STACKED’s take
Elite target floor and usage unlocked by Michael Penix Jr.
Matt Harmon identifies Drake London as a stud receiver whose elite talent is finally being unlocked by functional quarterback play. London currently ranks second in the NFL in yards per route run (3.86) among receivers with at least 50 routes. In a 15-game sample with Michael Penix Jr., London has averaged 89 receiving yards per game with a 34% target-per-route rate and 8 touchdowns. Harmon notes that Penix prioritizes London, utilizing him with 30% slot usage, increased motion, and a mix of vertical routes and condensed in-breakers. While Harmon stops short of calling him a tier-one receiver due to a lack of elite speed compared to Ja'Marr Chase, he emphasizes that London's target floor is significantly higher with Penix, effectively eliminating the 'bust' games seen under previous quarterback situations.
