Drake London — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

More on London

Atlanta handed London a starting role from day one as a rookie. He hauled in 72 of 117 targets for 866 yards and four touchdowns, with a Kyle Pitts injury opening up additional chances along the way. London came out of the gates strong over his first three games (5/74, 8/86/1, and 3/54/1), but the following nine weeks were a grind (just 25 catches for 224 yards and two scores on 44 targets), making him a losing fantasy proposition more often than not. Atlanta corrected his course over his final five games, feeding him 48 targets and producing four worthwhile outings (6/95, 7/70, 7/96, and 6/120).

Heading into his sophomore season, the fantasy market slotted London as the 21st wide receiver, a valuation that glossed over the very real limitations of Atlanta's passing attack. The result was a modest step forward on paper: 69 catches for 905 yards and two touchdowns on 110 targets, good for 174.60 PPR points and a 36th-place finish among wideouts. His big-play ability did improve, highlighted by 17 catches of 20 or more yards and a yards-per-catch average that climbed from 12.0 to 13.1. His production was maddeningly concentrated. His three best games — Week 2 (6/67/1), Week 6 (9/125), and Week 14 (10/172) — all came at home. Over his final eight starts, he was essentially unplayable in six of them (3/36, 1/8, 2/24, 3/39, 4/56, and 4/41), while also going quiet in Week 1 (0/0) and Week 3 (2/31).

Despite that inconsistency, the fantasy market swung aggressively back toward London entering 2024, buoyed by Kirk Cousins' arrival and a new offensive coordinator. Drafters priced him as the 10th wide receiver off the board — and for once, the hype was justified. London caught 100 of 158 targets for 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns, finishing as the fifth-best PPR wideout on the season.

His peak performances came in Week 5 (12/164/1), Week 17 (7/106), and Week 18 (10/187/2), and he saw double-digit targets in eight matchups. A floor of six catches in 10 games underscored his week-to-week reliability. While his two monster outings (33.40 and 40.70 fantasy points) represented his ceiling, his steadier range (between 10.00 and 19.50 points in 12 games) defined what he truly was: a consistent, borderline-elite fantasy asset.

Last season, London drifted through his first three games (8/55, 3/49, and 5/55 on 27 targets). He made his fantasy statement in four (8/110/1, 10/158/1, 9/118/3, 6/104/1, and 7/119) of his next six matchups, with one due to a missed start in Week 8. His sprained knee reemerged after Week 11, leading to four more missed contests. London limbed him over his final three matchups (3/27, 1/4, and 4/78/1).
