All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Drake London
PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Received 10 targets for 66 yards and 1 touchdown in Week 7 win over 49ers. Excels in empty sets and short-area throws within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage; the Falcons' game plan featured quick-hitting plays and screen attempts for London, leveraging his zone-winning ability in empty formations rather than sending him deep downfield. Scored one of Penix's three touchdown passes on a play-action attempt.PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
Ranked WR8 in Week 7 against San Francisco 49ers; Dvonte Adams projects Drake London will go absolutely crazy for the rest of the year because Michael Penix Jr. must throw to first-read targets immediately due to his inability to throw short, struggle under pressure, and lack of second-chance creation; Falcons have 23.5-point team total at home; 49ers defense has allowed four consecutive WR1s to finish top-25 despite injuries.PositiveProjectionOct 16, 2026
A-tier WR vs Bears: 24 and 16 targets in three games with Michael Penn; historically top-five fantasy WR in previous seasons with Penn; cleared 95+ yards all three games this season; 31% target share (one of league's best); 25-point team projection at home; game total over 50. Bears lack pass-rush depth without Montes Sweat. Penn avoids throwing to slot receivers over the middle, favoring London's outside role. Falcons run heavy personnel sets 36% of the time; opponents completing 78% of passes for 15 yards per attempt and 53% first-down/TD rate out of two-plus tight end sets vs Bears.PositiveProjectionOct 9, 2026
Drake London is ranked as the WR5 for Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. He is a primary target for Michael Penix Jr., holding a 35% target share in their 14 games together. He has shown elite usage, including 116 air yards per game, and benefits from Penix Jr.'s high clean pocket rate. The Ravens defense has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to receivers.PositiveUsageOct 7, 2026
Rake London holds wide receiver one overall target share at 35% and wide receiver one overall air yards at 116 per game through four weeks; elite target volume and air-yard allocation in the Falcons' three-player funnel offense.PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Drake London is positioned as a top-five fantasy wide receiver candidate under Michael Pennix; he holds WR1 overall target share at 35% and WR1 overall air yards at 116 per game through four weeks. He receives the majority of first-read targets in an under-center play-action scheme with roles in big crossers, overs, and post routes. The Falcons don't need to be a top-10 offense for London to hit that ceiling given the three-player target funnel (London, Bijan Robinson, Brian Robinson) and Kyle Pitts' absence from the offensive equation.NegativeValueSep 18, 2026
The source ranks Drake London as the wide receiver 24, significantly lower than his consensus ranking of wide receiver 16, citing concerns over his floor and the team's offensive projection.PositiveUsageSep 9, 2026
Ranked as WR13, London demonstrated elite usage as the WR5 in points per game from 2024 through Week 11, trailing only Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson in target share. Despite concerns regarding the Falcons' offensive balance and a tough matchup against Joey Porter Jr., his historical target volume makes him a must-start.NegativeValueAug 20, 2026
The source ranks Drake London behind Nico Collins, placing him outside the top five wide receivers in their current evaluation.NegativeProjectionAug 19, 2026
Drake London is ranked 10th overall in full PPR consensus rankings, though he is going 17th in home leagues. While he has a high floor, there is some hesitation regarding the overall output of the new Falcons offense.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Drake London is considered a candidate for 1,400 receiving yards. The source highlights his elite target share, noting that only Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase have had a higher target share over the relevant span. He is also noted for his efficiency in the slot, where he excels at generating first downs and touchdowns, though he currently only plays about 30% of his snaps there.NegativeUsageAug 10, 2026
Drake London's absence in previous games served as a proof-of-concept for Kyle Pitts' target volume, as Pitts saw increased production when London was sidelined.NegativeValueJul 31, 2026
Atlanta Falcons WR was WR5 in usage from 2024 through week 11, with only Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase posting higher target shares (nearly 30% over a multi-year sample). Despite not being drafted alongside Jefferson and CD Lamb in round one, London matches first-round wide receiver target volume but typically goes late into the second round. In redraft leagues, he falls between elite running backs (Saquon Barkley, Devon Achane, Chase Brown, Amarah Hampton, Derrick Henry, Ken Walker), creating unique value positioning as an island among wide receivers at his ADP. However, London's fantasy ceiling is complicated by quarterback uncertainty and conflicting offensive styles. The Falcons will likely start Tua Tagovailoa, who is dealing with a back injury, over Michael Penix Jr. (who has torn his ACL multiple times). Tua's passing profile—short, middle-field throws—differs sharply from Penix's deep, outside-the-numbers approach. The source notes this creates a 'blender' for analysis because Tua's current version is fundamentally different from his Tyreek Hill-era production, and while quick slants fit London's game, the overall offensive uncertainty and Falcons' roster turnover (offensive line, defense, coaching staff) raise concerns about the offense's readiness.PositiveRoleJun 24, 2026
Playing in the big slot role in the Falcons offense, which will benefit Kyle Pitts' production in under center formations.PositiveRoleJun 24, 2026
Drake London is in the big slot role for the Falcons, which will allow Pitts to operate in a complementary role.NegativeProjectionJun 17, 2026
Drake London has questions around him, including potential quarterback decline and being in a new spot, making him less attractive than Nico Collins.PositiveBreakoutJun 5, 2026
Drake London was a top-five wide receiver before his PCL injury in week 11, averaging 19.8 PPR points per game, and should continue to benefit from Tommy Reese's heavy personnel scheme with the Falcons.PositiveProjectionNo date
Drake London is Aman Ross St. Brown's A-tier WR ranking with strong recent production and improved offensive environment. In 13 games with Michael Penix, he has 35% target share and WR2 overall usage; he went for 194 yards and 10 targets in Penix's debut last week. The offense shifted from low neutral pass rate under Cooper Rush to league-average pass rate in week three, promising increased downfield opportunities. Saints defense is standard environment; Brock Bowers lit up Saints secondary, and Drake London was WR8 on WR12 usage against them in week 18.NegativeValueNo date
Matt Harmon contrasts the current fantasy production of Drake London unfavorably against Chris Olave, noting that while London was drafted in the second round, his performance has not matched the high expectations set by his ADP.NegativeUsageNo date
The source notes a negative correlation between Drake London and Kyle Pitts, observing that Pitts' fantasy production was significantly higher in games where London was absent or limited.NegativeValueNo date
Ranked as WR8/WR11, Drake London is considered a great player but carries more risk than his peers due to uncertainty surrounding the Falcons' quarterback situation and potential coaching staff changes. While the public is drafting him as the WR7, the source remains cautious.PositiveRoleNo date
Drake London was selected in full PPR over Amarian Hampton due to his role as an outside-to-inside receiver who will command high target volume. The source trusts the Falcons' offensive scheme to funnel significant volume to London. Falcons defensive injuries (including a first-round pick likely facing legal issues and cornerback Jaylen Walker's ACL tear) suggest the team could finish with a top-five pick, forcing them to play from behind and increasing London's pass-catching opportunities. The source projects London will 'catch a million passes' in a negative game script scenario.PositiveValueNo date
Drake London is in an excellent spot post-ACL injury recovery. Matt Harmon groups him with Nico Collins and AJ Brown as very good players returning from ACL injuries; it would take a lot for him to rank Malik Neighbors ahead of this tier despite Neighbors' elite talent.PositiveProjectionNo date
Drake London was one of the elite receivers Brian Thomas Jr. was being compared to last year, highlighting how much the narrative around Thomas has shifted.
