Drake London aims for elite WR status in 2026 with Falcons

Summary

Drake London is looking to build on a strong 2025 season as he enters the 2026 NFL campaign with the Atlanta Falcons. After averaging 19.6 fantasy points per game in the first 11 weeks, London's season was marred by a PCL sprain that limited his production in the final weeks. Despite missing four weeks due to injury, he still finished with a career-high average of 16.8 points per game. With minimal competition for targets and a new coaching staff in place, expectations are high for London, though concerns remain regarding the starting quarterback situation as Michael Penix Jr. recovers from a torn ACL.
