Receiving targets from both starting QBs in practice. Penix hit London deep on one rep (slightly off target) and connected on an over-the-middle completion that drew significant crowd reaction. Tua sailed one over London's head and out of bounds. The source notes the coaching approach is to get the ball in London's vicinity and let him go up and get it, suggesting confidence in his ability to make plays on contested balls.NegativeDepth ChartAug 20, 2026
Drake London is listed as the starting wide receiver on the preseason Week 2 depth chart.PositiveRoleAug 20, 2026
Drake London (6'4) demonstrated strong performance at joint practice with a contested catch where he absolutely mossed his Colts defender. His size and catch radius advantage allow him to win contested or not-quite-on-target balls, making the quarterback's life easier. Atlanta's receivers and tight ends are expected to be a problem for defenses this year.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
Drake London is listed in the starting wide receiver group on the Falcons' first unofficial 2026 preseason depth chart.PositiveUsageAug 12, 2026
Drake London is positioned as a key playmaker who can create after the catch in the Falcons' screen-heavy offensive scheme under new coordinator Tommy Rees. The team has spent significant practice time working on screens to maximize the potential of playmakers like London.NegativeInjuryAug 11, 2026
Limited practice participation on Tuesday; completed individual drills but did not participate in 7-on-7s or 11-on-11s, indicating ongoing recovery or injury management.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Pro-Bowl caliber receiver (Grade 85, Rank 71) and one of the league's better young wide receivers. London is an uber-efficient route-runner with strong footwork and use of hands to fend off bump-and-run coverage, playing the prototypical X-receiver role while forcing advantageous matchups across the formation. He has consistently put up good numbers despite never playing with a top-shelf quarterback in the NFL. While held back by uncertainty with the Falcons quarterback situation, with better quarterback play he will enter the elite No. 1 receiver conversation.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Wide receiver Drake London was one of only two players to catch multiple passes with the first team, receiving a red zone touchdown (operating out of the slot) and additional targets in full field 11-on-11 work. He was notably schemed open on his second completion on a drag route from right to left, gaining chunk yardage with defenders 15+ yards away, demonstrating effective offensive scheming.PositiveUsageAug 7, 2026
Drake London caught a touchdown pass from Michael Penix Jr. during 7-on-7 drills with excellent coverage from Xavier Watts, who nearly intercepted the pass. London also demonstrated strong blocking, laying a massive block on Xavier Woods during 7-on-7s.NegativeUsageAug 5, 2026
London was targeted multiple times and made the most of his opportunities. He was hit on a 20-yard dig from Tua Tagovailoa layered over multiple defenders, and was visibly disappointed when Branch just barely stepped out on what would have been a big TD catch-and-run, indicating his involvement in the offense.PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
Was peppered with targets on Day 6 and looked good. Also received a 10+ yard completion from Michael Penix Jr. during the aggressive downfield passing session.PositiveUsageAug 3, 2026
Received arguably the best pass of the day from Tua Tagovailoa—a well-layered throw over the leaping Christian Harris.PositiveUsageJul 27, 2026
The only wide receiver in the group who will be heavily targeted; the rest of the receiver group will be role players and specialists. The source feels 'pretty solid' about the wide receiver group overall, noting it is not ranked highly by design.NegativeProjectionJul 26, 2026
Projected to not breach top-five in receptions, receiving yards, or receiving touchdowns despite being Atlanta's newly minted number-one receiver. Expected to produce around 100 receptions and 1,200 yards again in 2026, similar to 2024 output, likely due to Kevin Stefanski's more run-heavy offensive approach. Risk of another year of wasted routes if Falcons continue searching for franchise quarterback.PositiveRoleJul 23, 2026
Drake London is a game-changing talent who has dealt with streaky, inconsistent passers throughout his career. If Penix wins the job, his ability to attack defenses deep opens up potentially devastating big plays for London. His production could be significantly elevated if the Falcons settle the quarterback position effectively.
