Should I Start Drake London?

Saturday, October 24, 7:47 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London drew a team-high 10 targets last week, but was only able to convert them into four catches for 62 scoreless yards. The 6-foot-4 wideout is averaging over nine targets per game with Michael Penix Jr. at the helm and tallied 96 yards or more in three straight before last week, but he's yet to find the end zone so far this year. The heavy target volume should continue in Week 7 as the team's unquestioned No. 1 receiver, but a matchup against the 49ers could prove challenging. The San Francisco defense is allowing just 209.8 yards passing per game (11th-fewest) and ranks as the 23rd-overall defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, limiting opposing wideouts to only five touchdowns in six games. Still, expect the 25-year-old to be peppered with targets again, and although he may not find the end zone, he ranks as the No. 10 receiver this week at RotoBaller in half-point PPR leagues, making him a low-end WR1.
