Drake London News
Monday, March 16, 5:08 PM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London played in a career-low 12 games in 2025 due to a knee injury, but he still managed to catch 68 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets in his fourth year in the NFL. That was good enough for him to finish as the WR17 in half-PPR scoring. Had the 24-year-old not been injured, he was on track for a career-best season while working with both quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Kirk Cousins. The former eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of USC has had at least 866 receiving yards in his four NFL seasons and will enter the 2026 campaign as Atlanta's clear WR1 in a new offense run by head coach Kevin Stefanski. On talent alone, London has clear WR1 upside in fantasy, but he could make for more of a volatile No. 2 given the uncertainty as to whether Penix will be ready for the start of the season. London's fantasy stock will surely take a hit if it's Tua Tagovailoa under center for the Falcons in Week 1 this fall.

George Pickens News
Friday, February 27, 12:45 PM
The Dallas Cowboys officially placed the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver George Pickens on Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Now the two sides will try to work out a long-term contract extension before the July 15 deadline, with executive vice president Stephen Jones saying that the team isn't putting any timeframe on it. Rapoport said he does not expect Pickens to report to the team's facilities "unless and until there is a long-term deal." Rapoport also wonders if there is a team out there that would be willing to give up a premium draft pick and sign Pickens to a long-term deal themselves to try to pry the 24-year-old away from Dallas for 2026 and beyond. If Dallas and Pickens are unable to reach a long-term deal by July 15, and he's not traded, he'd play the upcoming season on a one-year, fully guaranteed $28 million contract. All signs point to the former second-rounder playing in Dallas again in 2026, where he had a career-best 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Pickens is a locked-in WR1 in fantasy for this fall.
