Drake London News
Sunday, August 23, 6:30 PM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London could see his value rise significantly if the team's starting quarterback is Michael Penix Jr. Penix missed most of training camp after tearing his ACL late last season. With Penix out, former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has handled most first-team reps and has struggled in camp, game action, and joint practices. London has already had a ton of success with Penix under center, catching 91 passes for 1,286 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games with the third-year quarterback. London's fantasy managers should continue to monitor this quarterback competition, as Penix's connection with the star receiver bodes well for London's fantasy value this season.

Quentin Johnston News
Friday, August 28, 5:38 AM
With the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive starters playing two series against the Rams' defensive reserves in Thursday night's cross-town preseason finale, fourth-year wide receiver Quentin Johnston helped quarterback Justin Herbert atone for an opening drive fumble by splitting two defenders for a 65-yard touchdown to give the Bolts an early 7-3 lead. A first-round pick in 2023, Johnston struggled with drops early in his career, but has flashed moments of underrated excellence over the past two seasons, particularly during a four-week stretch that saw him open 2025 as the fantasy WR4. While volume and consistency concerns still exist in what is expected to be a run-first Mike McDaniel offense, Johnston should be schemed into space and put in a position to make use of his run-after-catch abilities, and Thursday night's deep touchdown served as a reminder of his big-play potential. As RotoBaller's WR38, Johnston can still be viewed through a boom-or-bust lens in 2026, but all signs point to the booms being more explosive with the busts less detrimental.
