• Falcons' Drake London: Scores game-winning TD Monday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  London brought in six of seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 22-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. London began the Falcons' game-winning drive with an unremarkable 4-42-0 receiving line. However, the third-year wideout made his last two catches count, recording a five-yard reception that brought Atlanta down to the Eagles' seven-yard line before hauling in the game-winning touchdown two plays later. The chemistry between London and Kirk Cousins still is clearly a work in progress, but Monday's numbers were a nice bump up from his 2-15-0 line Week 1. London should have plenty of opportunities in a Week 3 home showdown against the Chiefs that likely will require the Falcons to remain aggressive through the air.

• Falcons' Drake London: WRs to Start

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  There should be a squeaky wheel game coming for London in Week 2 at Philadelphia, and hopefully Kirk Cousins will look better after he struggled in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. London only had two catches for 15 yards on three targets against the Steelers, and Falcons coach Raheem Morris said, "We didn't get the ball to Drake enough." Cousins looked bad against Pittsburgh, and the Eagles won't be an easy matchup on Monday night. But Philadelphia allowed Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs to combine for 11 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets in Week 1, and I would still start London as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

• Falcons' Drake London: Limited to three targets

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  London recorded two receptions on three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. London was expected to reach a new level of production this season with a modernized offense in Atlanta and Kirk Cousins under center. However, his Week 1 performance left plenty to be desired, as he finished with fewer targets than Ray-Ray McCloud and Bijan Robinson. Cousins was uncharacteristically inefficient in his first game action in 10 months, so it's probably too early to panic.

• Falcons' Drake London: Clear of cramping

  07/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  London (overheating/leg cramps) returned for the evening portion of Friday's practice, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports. London departed the morning portion of practice Friday after he experienced leg cramps and overheating. However, the wideout was able to return for the evening walkthrough, suggesting that he's clear of any concerns. Josh Kendall of The Athletic adds that London will be on the field when the Falcons practice Saturday. This year's training camp is particularly important for London as he looks to build a rapport with new starting quarterback Kirk Cousins.
