Drake London News
Friday, July 24, 10:32 AM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is already priced as a top-10 dynasty asset, but the cost still makes sense for contenders and rebuilders. He caught 68 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns in only 12 games last season, drawing 112 targets despite missing five contests. Atlanta paid him accordingly, signing him through 2030 on a four-year, $141 million extension. The receiver room is faster and deeper after adding Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus, and rookie Zachariah Branch, yet the Falcons still view London as the clear No. 1. The real concern is quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. is returning from ACL surgery, while Tua Tagovailoa will compete for the job. That uncertainty is already baked into a mid-second-round redraft price. London sits at dynasty WR7 and ninth overall in RotoBaller's latest rankings, which feels about right. He is not cheap, but there is no roster build that needs to rush into selling him.

Puka Nacua News
Friday, July 17, 8:35 AM
CBS Sports' Joel Corry makes the case that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua could be a candidate for the franchise tag in 2027 as he heads into the final year of his rookie deal in 2026. Based strictly on his production through his first three years in the NFL -- 313 catches, 4,191 yards and 19 touchdowns in 44 regular-season games -- the case can be made that the 25-year-old deserves to be the highest-paid WR. The former fifth-rounder in 2023 led the league with 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns (all career highs) in 2025, and his 107.2 receiving yards per game led the NFL. Nacua's 313 catches are the fourth-most ever in a span of his first three seasons, behind only Justin Jefferson (324), Michael Thomas (321), and Amon-Ra St. Brown (315). Only Jefferson (4,825) has more receiving yards through three seasons than Nacua. Questionable off-the-field decisions last year have jeopardized Nacua's big-time payday in the future. He could still get a new deal before the start of the 2026 regular season, but it remains to be seen if the Rams are comfortable with that yet. Either way, Nacua is the unquestioned top fantasy wideout going into this season with veteran QB Matthew Stafford back for another campaign.
