Drake London — 2026 Outlook
He's locked in as a low-end WR1 (FantasyPros rank: WR11) and just got paid like a superstar — four years, $141M, third-highest paid WR in the league. The Falcons are all-in on him as their franchise cornerstone.
The good: He scored 7 TDs in just 12 games last year off 11 end-zone targets, and early OTAs show he's already building chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa on deep balls across all three levels. If Tua wins the QB job over Penix, London's ceiling gets a real bump.
The concern: His target share (19.6%) and yards per route run (2.41) sit below the elite WR1 tier. He needs Atlanta's offense to funnel him more volume to jump from WR11 into the top-5 conversation.
Who's the #2 WR?
That's Jahan Dotson — signed in free agency this offseason to fill the complementary role. Behind him is rookie Zachariah Branch (3rd round pick out of Georgia) and veteran Olamide Zaccheaus.
Josh & Hayden from Underdog put it bluntly: "Behind Drake London right now, it's really bleak. If Drake London misses any time this year... this team is going to be a total disaster."
So Dotson is the nominal #2, but neither he nor Branch profiles as a reliable fantasy starter — London is the only Falcon WR you should be targeting in redraft leagues.
