Drake London

Drake London is Atlanta's LWR #1, and his fantasy value has always rested on volume. He has never been a rushing contributor, with three career carries in this data. In 2024 and 2025 he drew roughly 9.3 targets per game and turned them into about 75 receiving yards per game, plus 1.1 to 1.4 red-zone targets per game. Through six games of 2026, he is getting fewer looks, 7.8 targets per game, but doing more with each one: 17.7 yards per reception and 91.7 receiving yards per game, both well above anything he posted in prior seasons.

The per-game picture explains his current PPR rank of 48. He is scoring 14.7 PPR points per game, below his 16.8 in 2025 and 16.5 in 2024 but far above the 10.9 of 2023. The yardage gain doesn't appear to come from deeper usage. His air yards per target are about 6.3, in line with the 6.0 to 6.6 range of his earlier seasons. That points to more production after the catch or on a handful of big plays, which tends to be less stable than target volume. The bigger drag is near the goal line. He has only 2 red-zone targets in six games, compared with 13 in 12 games last year and 24 in 2024, and no receiving touchdown appears in his 2026 line. Without those scoring chances, the yardage is carrying his entire output.

Clutch Edge projects him at 16.5 points per game, ranked #158 overall among QB/RB/WR/TE. That is a step up from his current pace and essentially matches his 2024 per-game level. The projection assumes his red-zone role returns to something like its usual rate, which has historically been a steady part of his profile. In DFS, the case for London is a WR1 role with a ceiling already on display, and his touchdown-light results may keep his price and popularity in check. The risk is that 17.7 yards per catch drifts back toward his 12.7 to 13.5 norm while the targets stay under 8 per game. In that scenario, his floor sits closer to his 2023 output than his 2024 season.

The signals to watch are whether his targets climb back toward nine per game and whether red-zone looks reappear. If both return, his current yardage efficiency becomes a bonus on top of his usual production. If neither does, his weekly output depends on long gains holding up, and that makes him a riskier start than his projection suggests.
