The Atlanta Falcons exercised the fifth-year option on wide receiver Drake London on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. This was a no-brainer decision after London posted career-highs in catches (100), targets (158), receiving yards (1,271) and touchdowns (nine) in 17 starts in 2024 in his third year in the NFL. The 23-year-old eighth overall pick in 2022 will now be under contract with the Falcons through the 2026 season, but he could sign a long-term extension well before that if he has another big year in 2025. It was impressive performance for London last year, especially when considering that quarterback Kirk Cousins fell flat in his first year back from an Achilles tear and was benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr. late in the season. It's good news that he caught 22 passes for 352 yards and two TDs in the final three games with Penix. London is a surefire WR1 in fantasy.

The Athletic's Doug Haller reports that the Arizona Cardinals expect second-year wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. to take the next step in 2025. Aside from the muscle that the Ohio State product added to his frame, quarterback Kyler Murray noted that he's operating with a different level of comfort and confidence thus far in his second year. Objectively, Harrison Jr.'s rookie campaign was by no means a failure. However, with the sky-high expectations put forth upon him, it certainly felt that way. More so, considering fellow rookie wideout Malik Nabers exploded onto the scene in a worse offense. The 22-year-old figured to improve in his second season anyway. Arizona gassing him up only makes him more intriguing in the first few rounds of drafts.
