Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, April 6, 5:26 AM
Free Agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. played in 16 games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, his seventh time in as many seasons that he was unable to log a full slate of games, and the oft-injured wideout currently remains unsigned. With the NFL Draft less than three weeks away, many receiver-needy teams are likely taking a more patient approach to see if they can fill that need with a younger, cheaper option in what is considered a deep draft class at the position. At his peak, Samuel was one of the most unique playmakers in the league, but that hasn't kept pundits from attaching the "Deebo" comp to a prospect almost annually, and this year is no different. Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. carries the moniker in the 2026 draft class, and to a lesser extent, so does Louisville's Chris Bell, who is expected to fall in the draft following an ACL tear in the Cardinals' final game of the season.

Drake London News
Sunday, April 19, 10:47 AM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London ran into some injury issues with his knee that caused him to miss time down the stretch of the 2025 season. Still, the 24-year-old was highly productive across the 12 games he was active for, recording 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on a whopping 112 targets. London is averaging 9.3 targets per game over the past two seasons and profiles as the clear number one pass-catcher in Atlanta once again in 2026. However, the Falcons' ongoing issues at the quarterback position continue to limit London's upside. Atlanta QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is coming off a torn ACL and was largely ineffective when healthy in 2025, throwing for 1,982 yards and nine touchdowns across nine games. The Falcons signed veteran signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa in free agency, but the 28-year-old threw 15 interceptions and averaged under seven yards per pass attempt across 14 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. London remains a dynasty WR1, but he may struggle to realize his full potential until the Falcons solve the quarterback position.
