Falcons Exercise Fifth-Year Option On Drake London

Wednesday, April 30, 1:03 PM

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.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Heavily Targeted on Tuesday

Tuesday, July 22, 1:31 PM

ESPN's Nate Taylor reports that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was the biggest winner of Tuesday's training camp practice and was the most-targeted receiver for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reported that Rice was most active working across the middle of the field on crossing routes and in the red zone. The 25-year-old is returning from an LCL tear that he suffered last year, but he's a full-go at camp this summer and should be a huge part of KC's passing attack in 2025. With that said, his fantasy stock has taken a hit this year because of the fact that the NFL is expected to suspend him for three or four games after a hit-and-run incident. Even though a suspension is probably coming, Rice could make quite a bit of noise in 2025 now that he's healthy. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the WR26.
