Our Thoughts

Drake London's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

The stars are aligning for London to break out in Year 3.

Ditching the Arthur Smith offense for a modern offense that utilizes its talent is a welcome change. In addition, the massive QB upgrade to Kirk Cousins gives London the best chance to hit his WR1 ceiling.

His ADP as a WR1 reflects the pure potential London has. We are on board in our 2024 WR rankings, expecting London to make that same impact.

What We Learned Last Year

  • London’s per-game stat lines were similar to his 2022 rookie season:
    • 6.3 targets (down from 6.9)
    • 4.1 receptions (down from 4.2)
    • 54.1 yards (up from 50.9)
    • 13.3 yards per catch (up from 12.0)
    • 0.1 TDs (down from 0.2)
  • His per-game statistics decreased when Taylor Heinicke was playing over Desmond Ridder:
    • 6.25 targets
    • 3.75 receptions
    • 46.5 yards
    • 12.4 yards per catch
    • 0 TDs
  • London ranked as the PPR WR41 in total fantasy points (166.3) and WR45 in points per game (6.3).
  • He missed one game last year (Week 9) with a groin injury. It is the only missed game of his career.
  • He had two top-12 finishes. He also had eight WR37 or worse finishes.
  • London’s target share dipped from 29.3% in 2022 (sixth best among WRs) to 23.1% (27th best among WRs).
  • Among 92 WRs with 40+ targets, London ranked:
    • 25th in PFF’s receiving grade
    • 32nd in yards per route run (1.87)
    • 45th in average target depth (11.7)
  • Among those same WRs, London was 90th in average separation yards (2.2), per NFL Next Gen Stats.

What to Expect in 2024

  • London will play under HC Raheem Morris and first-time OC and play-caller Zac Robinson.
    • Robinson has been on the Rams’ staff since 2019 under Sean McVay, working as the QB coach and pass game coordinator since 2022.
    • Under Robinson, the Rams averaged 628 passes per season.
  • Kirk Cousins signed with the Falcons and will provide a significant QB upgrade
    • Last season Cousins had a superior 85.1 PFF passing grade compared to Desmond Ridder (53.2) and Taylor Heinicke (48.5)
  • The Falcons are expected to be pretty good. They lead the NFC South with a 9.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • This expectation of success is largely due to Cousins joining the team. The Falcons’ Super Bowl odds jumped from +4000 before Cousins to +2800 after he signed.
  • London enters his 3rd season at 23 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average WR with London’s profile produces 94% of his peak value at age-23.

Drake London Has Hip Pointer & Oblique Strain

Drake London Has Hip Pointer & Oblique Strain

Falcons WR Drake London suffered a hip pointer and an oblique strain in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, according to Underdog's James Palmer. "It doesn't appear to be a serious concern," Palmer adds. The injuries were enough to keep London out of the Dallas game, but it sounds like he has a chance to be available for next weekend's meeting with the Saints. We'll keep tabs on London's status throughout this coming week.

Falcons WR Rondale Moore will miss the 2024 season after suffering a knee injury in Wednesday's practice, NFL Network reports. We don't have any details yet on the injury.

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles) has been medically cleared for training camp and will take all first-team reps while QBs Michael Penix Jr. and Taylor Heinicke split second-team reps.

Falcons WR Drake London (groin) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He can get back into fantasy lineups in the plus matchup. WR Mack Hollins (ankle) is out for Week 10.

Falcons WR Drake London (groin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals' 21st-ranked WR defense.
