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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London saw a surprising increase in targets during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Sadly, London wasn't able to make much of an impact due to the fact most of his passes were uncatchable. The second-year wideout could be having a much better season if he had a better quarterback. London hauled in four of his 10 targets for 56 yards in the loss to the Chicago Bears. He'll finish out the regular season with a matchup against the New Orleans Saints next week. London should be considered a low-end WR3 for that Week 18 matchup.
Dec 31, 2023 8:54 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has posted back-to-back lackluster games after an explosive 172-yard performance in Week 14. It has been an up-and-down campaign for London, which has certainly been frustrating for fantasy managers. At this point, it's tough to trust London as a reliable option in most fantasy formats. He does have a plus matchup versus the Chicago Bears defense in Week 17. A secondary that has struggled to contain the passing game. However, it's uncertain who will be under center for Atlanta with Taylor Heinicke (ankle) being limited in practice. Regardless, London won't be anything more than a low-end WR3 in most fantasy formats.
Dec 29, 2023 9:56 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was not able to get much going during Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. London hauled in three of his four targets for 39 yards in the win. The Falcons spread the ball around in this one as London's four targets tied him for third on the team during Sunday's game. His biggest play of the day was a 19-yard reception, but he was quiet outside of that. Given the last few performances, London shouldn't be counted on as anything more than a low-end WR3 in PPR formats for next week versus the Chicago Bears.
Dec 24, 2023 4:57 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been an inconsistent contributor this season. To be fair, it's not really London's fault, but more of the poor play for his quarterbacks. London is coming off a two-catch performance in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Before that, London posted an epic 10-catch 172-yard performance. The young wideout does have a plus matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts defense. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't count on London as anything more than a low-end WR3. Veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke will take over under center, so we'll see how that will impact London's value.
Dec 21, 2023 7:02 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was unable to get anything going during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The young wideout was almost completely held out of the box score in this game. He didn't record a reception until the final drive of the game. London hauled in two of his three targets for 24 yards in the loss. This was a disappointing outing after London went off for 172 yards last week. Fantasy managers are just not sure what to expect from London right now. That being said, London will fall into WR3 territory for next week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Dec 17, 2023 9:54 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is coming off an incredible 172-yard performance during last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year wideout hauled in 10 of his 11 targets after being held to one catch the week prior. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another 10-catch performance this week. He'll get a matchup against the Carolina Panthers that have allowed fourth-fewest yards to wide receivers this season. London should still be able to carve out WR3 value for this upcoming Week 15 matchup.
Dec 15, 2023 10:08 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London made easy work of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary on Sunday. The second-year wideout hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 172 yards in the loss. This was a great bounce back outing after his one-catch performance last week. The assumption is that London will continue getting targeted heavily after that performance. He should be a fine WR3 against the Carolina Panthers next week.
Dec 10, 2023 11:41 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was barely seen during last week's win over the New York Jets. The second-year wideout hauled in one of his five targets for eight yards in the victory. The assumption is that London will bounce back against the shaky Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary in Week 14. A defensive unit that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. Fantasy managers should expect a better performance from London. He should be able to carve out W3 value this weekend.
Dec 8, 2023 10:29 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was almost nonexistent during the Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets. The second-year wideout hauled in one of his five targets for eight yards in the win. The Falcons weren't able to get anything going on offense as quarterback Desmond Ridder only completed 12 passes during this game. London should bounce back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. Although, it's pretty tough to do worse than a eight-yard performance. London should be on the WR3 radar for next week's matchup against the Bucs.
Dec 3, 2023 8:01 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is coming off a strong performance against the New Orleans Saints last week. The second-year wideout hauled in five of his seven targets for 91 yards in the win. It was a day where the Falcons ran the ball 41 times, but London managed to still have a decent fantasy performance. At this point, London appears to be the only viable option in terms of pass catchers in Atlanta. He should be able to continue having success against the New York Jets in Week 13. Fantasy managers should be able to get low-end WR2 value out of London in PPR formats.
Nov 30, 2023 5:56 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London made easy work of the New Orleans Saints defense in Week 12. The second-year wideout hauled in five of his seven targets for 91 yards in the victory. London saw 33 percent target share as the Falcons rushed the ball 41 times during this game. Despite a heavy running attack, London was able to put together a fairly strong performance. London appears to be the Falcons lone pass catcher to be reliable weekly value right now. He should hold low-end WR2 value heading into the Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets.
Nov 26, 2023 9:18 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been mostly solid throughout his first nine games this season. The Falcons continue to make him a focal point in the offense. London has seen seven or more targets in six of the last seven games he has played in. It's worth noting that the Falcons are going back to Desmond Ridder at quarterback this week. It remains to be seen how that will impact the fantasy value of London. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about the chemistry between these two. However, the New Orleans Saints have a tough defense that has defended well against the passing attack. That being said, London should be considered a low-end WR2 for this upcoming Week 12 matchup.
Nov 23, 2023 9:18 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London made his return to the field after a one-game absence. Sadly, the second-year wideout was held in check throughout most of this Week 10 contest. London hauled in three of his four targets for 36 yards in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The Falcons weren't able to get anything going in the passing game, so London wasn't the only receiver that had a tough day. The Falcons have a bye in Week 11, but London should return to being fantasy relevant in Week 12.
Nov 12, 2023 10:51 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) has been removed from the Week 10 injury report on Friday and will play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. London missed the Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but the writing was on the wall for him to return this weekend after he returned to a full practice on Thursday. The 22-year-old should return to being heavily involved in Atlanta's passing attack in a good matchup against Arizona, and he'll have more upside with quarterback Tyler Heinicke making his second straight start over Desmond Ridder. London's return means less upside for both tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith, who led the team in receiving and found the end zone last Sunday.
Nov 10, 2023 1:07 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) was upgraded to a full participant during Friday's practice session. That being said, London should be able to suit up in Week 10, barring any setbacks. The young wideout sat out last week, but appears to be on the verge of returning. Lately, London has been a viable fantasy option with WR2 value most weeks. However, there's always the chance that the Falcons go run-heavy. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider London a low-end WR2 in PPR formats for this upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 9, 2023 9:29 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) will return to practice for the Falcons on Wednesday. London injured his groin in Week 8 and didn't practice at all last week or play in the Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Arthur Smith said London is "trending in the right direction" to return to action this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on the 22-year-old's practice status the rest of the week, but as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks with his groin in practice, he should be given the green light to play in Week 10. He'll also have some more upside in starting fantasy lineups with quarterback Taylor Heinicke making his second start of the season under season for the Falcons over the benched Desmond Ridder.
Nov 8, 2023 12:10 PM EST
The Atlanta Falcons are hopeful that wide receiver Drake London (groin) will return to play in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. London injured his groin in Week 8 and didn't practice at all last week before being ruled out for the Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. We'll keep a close eye on the 22-year-old's practice status this week. As long as he's able to return to the practice field, he should have a shot at playing this upcoming Sunday in a strong matchup against Arizona's defense. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke will make at least one more start before the team's Week 11 bye, too, which should make London a bit more attractive in fantasy lineups if he returns from his groin ailment. Tight end Jonnu Smith led the Falcons in receiving on Sunday with London out with five catches, 100 yards and a touchdown.
Nov 6, 2023 5:25 PM EST
The Atlanta Falcons have officially ruled out wide receiver Drake London (groin) for their Week 9 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday due to a groin injury that he sustained in the Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It's bad timing for London and his fantasy managers with quarterback Taylor Heinicke taking over under center for the struggling Desmond Ridder this week. Move London to your benches for the week and look for a replacement. In London's absence, Van Jefferson, Mack Hollins and KhaDarel Hodge should start in three-wide sets this Sunday against a vulnerable Vikings secondary. Tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith will also both become more attractive in fantasy lineups with more targets expected to come their way.
