Drake London News
Sunday, September 13, 1:25 PM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught just two of his four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's Week 1 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. London is an incredibly talented receiver, but his fantasy stock took a hit entering this season with uncertainty at the quarterback position. The situation got even worse this week as Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) was ruled out, leaving Cooper Rush as the starter. Rush completed just 12 passes, threw two interceptions, and took four sacks in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers. There weren't many opportunities to make high-value throws, and that subsequently hurt London's fantasy value. If Tagovailoa plays next week, London might return to the WR2 tier, but we won't feel comfortable with him as a WR2 until Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is cleared to play in the next couple of weeks.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. News
Monday, September 14, 5:31 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. opened his 2026 season with six carries for 23 yards in the team's dominant 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Rodriguez did not produce fantasy-relevant numbers in Week 1 but remained a key part of the Jaguars' backfield alongside Bhayshul Tuten. He played 23 of 50 snaps (46%), including most of the short-yardage snaps, and took the only goal-line snap of the game. Given how effective the Jaguars' offense under Liam Coen looked, the team should have plenty of opportunities for red zone and goal-line looks this season. He faces the Denver Broncos' defense next week, which was the NFL's best run defense last season, but his current role leaves him as a waiver-wire priority in Week 1.
