Drake London News

Drake London Back in WR1 Conversation with Michael Penix Jr. Back

Wednesday, September 30, 5:30 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London exploded in Week 3, hauling in nine of 10 targets for 194 yards in the 35-14 win over the Green Bay Packers. After a horrific start with Cooper Rush under center, Falcons starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returned and helped rejuvenate London's slow start. Penix and London have a strong connection dating back to Penix's rookie season in 2024. In 13 games together, London has hauled in 91 of 143 targets for 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging a whopping 17.6 half-PPR fantasy points per game. They face the New Orleans Saints in Week 4, where London should be considered a low WR1. Despite the slow start, his chemistry with Penix should bode very well for his fantasy stock for the rest of the 2026 season.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Suffers Tweaked Hamstring

Sunday, October 4, 4:35 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) was unable to return during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice reportedly suffered a tweaked hamstring while trying to make a play during the first quarter, per Sam McDowell. He was originally listed as questionable, but was downgraded to doubtful and never returned to the game. The Chiefs also lost Tyquan Thornton (ankle) during this game. Fantasy managers should get an update on Rice during the week, but the team is on bye this upcoming week. That means Rice will get a whole week to rest and recover before the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.
