Drake London Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London ran into some injury issues with his knee that caused him to miss time down the stretch of the 2025 season. Still, the 24-year-old was highly productive across the 12 games he was active for, recording 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on a whopping 112 targets. London is averaging 9.3 targets per game over the past two seasons and profiles as the clear number one pass-catcher in Atlanta once again in 2026. However, the Falcons' ongoing issues at the quarterback position continue to limit London's upside. Atlanta QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is coming off a torn ACL and was largely ineffective when healthy in 2025, throwing for 1,982 yards and nine touchdowns across nine games. The Falcons signed veteran signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa in free agency, but the 28-year-old threw 15 interceptions and averaged under seven yards per pass attempt across 14 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. London remains a dynasty WR1, but he may struggle to realize his full potential until the Falcons solve the quarterback position.

Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham said extension thoughts about wide receiver Drake London are "on top of mind," according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. But right now, the Falcons are focusing on free agency and then the 2026 draft. Cunningham said that extensions for both London and star running back Bijan Robinson likely won't be focused on until after April's draft. The 24-year-old former eighth overall pick in 2022 out of USC is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and deserves a big raise after hauling in 309 catches for 3,961 yards and 22 touchdowns on 497 targets in his first four years in the league. London had a 68-919-7 line in a career-low 12 regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee issue. He was still a top-20 fantasy wideout despite missing five games. Going into 2026, London's fantasy value will carry slightly more risk with Tua Tagovailoa potentially becoming the Falcons' starting signal-caller over Michael Penix Jr. (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London played in a career-low 12 games in 2025 due to a knee injury, but he still managed to catch 68 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets in his fourth year in the NFL. That was good enough for him to finish as the WR17 in half-PPR scoring. Had the 24-year-old not been injured, he was on track for a career-best season while working with both quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Kirk Cousins. The former eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of USC has had at least 866 receiving yards in his four NFL seasons and will enter the 2026 campaign as Atlanta's clear WR1 in a new offense run by head coach Kevin Stefanski. On talent alone, London has clear WR1 upside in fantasy, but he could make for more of a volatile No. 2 given the uncertainty as to whether Penix will be ready for the start of the season. London's fantasy stock will surely take a hit if it's Tua Tagovailoa under center for the Falcons in Week 1 this fall.

The Athletic's Josh Kendall writes that if new Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham's proactive approach carries over from Chicago, wide receiver Drake London "could get a new deal this offseason." London signed a four-year, $21.53 million deal in May of 2022, and the Falcons exercised a $16.82 million team option for the 2026 season in April of last year. A long-term extension makes sense for the 24-year-old, who established himself as one of the league's top wideouts over the last two seasons by catching 168 of his 270 targets for 2,190 yards and 16 touchdowns in 29 games. Kendall believes that London likely sees himself as the type of player who should make at least $30 million annually. Atlanta might view him more in the $25 million-per-year range, but either way, he's key to the Falcons' future.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London finished 2024 as the WR5 in Half-PPR formats, and at times in 2025, he looked primed for a repeat performance. However, a knee injury cost him four games down the stretch, leaving him looking like a shell of himself upon his return. While the quarterback situation in Atlanta remains unsettled heading into 2026, London has proven himself to be an elite talent in the league, finishing as a top-six graded receiver by PFF in back-to-back seasons. If the Falcons can find even league-average quarterback play for the foreseeable future, London should again be one of the best fantasy bets at the position in 2026 and could actually be undervalued in dynasty leagues, as the current consensus WR8.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past week. London is still working his way back after a knee injury sidelined him from Weeks 12 through 15. In two games since then, he has just four catches. Last week was particularly frustrating as he caught one pass for four yards despite handling a 98% snap share. The increased snap share indicates that London is capable of playing a full game, so now, he just needs the targets. Managers should look for him to bounce back as a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver in a competitive battle against the Saints on Sunday.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 18's matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but head coach Raheem Morris is optimistic about his chances to suit up. London has delivered his two worst games of the season over the past two weeks, catching just one of two targets for four yards last week against the Rams and three of eight targets for 27 yards in Week 16 versus the Cardinals after returning from a PCL sprain. The star wideout will look to get back on track and close out the season on a high note against the Saints, though that could be tougher as New Orleans has allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points per game to wide receivers this season. London missed Atlanta's Week 12 meeting with New Orleans, but he totalled 14 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets in two games against them last year. He is ranked as RotoBaller's WR13 for the season finale.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. London carried the same designation into the past two games and was ultimately able to suit up, and head coach Raheem Morris is optimistic about his availability for Week 18. The fourth-year pro was a non-factor in either of those games, as he is clearly still limited by the knee injury that kept him sidelined for a month. In a game that could indirectly determine the playoff fate of the Panthers and Buccaneers, there is at least some divisional pride on the line. However, given London's recent struggles and a slate of games with clearer stakes, he should be viewed as a desperation play at best by any fantasy managers with a Week 18 title on the line.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. As expected, London will be active to close out Week 17 action after returning to the field for last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old wideout missed Weeks 12-15 with a sprained PCL in his left knee and played 69% of the offensive snaps in Week 16, catching three of his eight targets for only 27 yards. Fantasy managers will be hoping that London sees the field more on Monday against the Rams, although he wasn't able to practice in full at all last week from Thursday through Saturday. London checks in as the WR7 this year in terms of half-PPR fantasy points per game (15.1). His presence on the field for the second straight week will make life more difficult for tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., who went off for 11 catches, 166 yards, and three TDs in Week 15.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was a non-factor in Week 16 after returning from a four-game absence, tallying just three receptions for 27 scoreless yards while playing just 69 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The 24-year-old was limited in practice all week and takes a questionable designation into Monday night's game versus the Rams. Because he has a Monday night game, there is some risk in planning to play him in the event he does not suit up, but as long as he does play, fantasy managers should be putting him in their lineups, as he still received eight targets last week despite his limited production. The 6-foot-4 wideout has recorded at least eight targets in nine of the ten games he's played this season, and had gone over 100 yards receiving in five of his last six prior to Week 16's dud. He'll go up against a Rams defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers for the season and 277.7 yards per game through the air over the last three weeks (second-most). In a Monday Night Football game that has a high over/under of 49.5 and the Falcons as 7.5-point underdogs, Atlanta may need to air it out, but with some uncertainty around the knee and plenty of other receiving options on this team, London projects as a low-end WR1 this week.
