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.

Jalen Coker News
Monday, September 14, 5:42 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker hauled in eight of nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears. While trailing for most of this game, the Panthers' passing offense was on center stage in Week 1, and Coker led the way. He played 57 of 61 snaps (93%) and had nine targets, the most among skill players. Despite talk of second-year receiver Tetairoa McMillan playing more in the slot, Coker was used there more often, playing 40% of snaps in the slot compared to McMillan's 21%. Over his last seven outings, he's had 36 receptions for 516 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 15 half-PPR fantasy points per game. As one of Carolina's top weapons, Coker is a must-add after Week 1 and could be a mid-WR3 option moving forward.
