Drake London News
Friday, May 29, 12:50 PM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had the second half of his 2025 season derailed by a PCL strain in his left knee, which caused him to miss time. Even still, the 24-year-old finished the year with 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets across 12 games. London's fantasy value has consistently been impacted by shaky quarterback play in Atlanta. That issue could persist in 2026, as the Falcons enter the season with the questionable quarterback duo of Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa. However, London has a track record of steady production, and he figures to absolutely dominate targets in a Falcons offense that currently features Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus as the next wide receivers up on the depth chart. Given his injury in 2025 and the quarterback uncertainty in Atlanta, dynasty managers may be able to take advantage of a buy-low window on London entering 2026.

Josh Downs News
Saturday, May 30, 5:02 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been trending up in dynasty leagues. The 24-year-old receiver's dynasty stock has benefitted from the Colts' decision to trade Michael Pittman Jr., which should leave Downs in line to start alongside Alec Pierce. While Pierce projects as the Colts' top receiver after his big payday, Downs has the potential to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. This offense is good enough to support two fantasy-relevant receivers for several years to come, especially as long as Daniel Jones is under center. Downs has ranked between WR35 and WR44 in each of his three NFL seasons, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him take a big step forward and post the best fantasy finish of his career in 2026. Downs set a new career low in catches, yards, and fantasy points last year, softening his price tag in dynasty leagues. Managers should take advantage of this discount and send out trade offers for the UNC product before his potential Year 4 breakout.
