Latest takes
“If London had a legitimate quarterback, we could draft him higher, but instead, he'll once again have to deal with mediocrity in the form of Tua Tagovailoa or Penix. London is a fine selection in round two, but look elsewhere here.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 29“Over the first 10 weeks of 2025, London was the fantasy WR6, but with the Falcons stuttering and Michael Penix Jr. injured, he dropped to WR25 for the rest of the season. London has topped a 28% target share in three of his four NFL seasons. We know he'll draw targets, but it's their value that matters here.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 29“London will now be under contract through the 2030 season. He's topped 100 catches and 1000 yards once (2024) in his four-year career. He finished as the WR7 and WR14 the last two seasons in fantasy points per game (half-ppr).”

“Branch's ability with the ball in his hands should guarantee him at least some role right away in an Atlanta offense without much talent at wideout outside of Drake London.”
Ted Chmyz· May 5“Top cap hit: Drake London, $7,996,200 (2.65 percent)”
Logan Ulrich· Jul 5“Atlanta now employs the NFL's third-highest-paid players at tight end and wide receiver, with London scoring a four-year, $141.1MM extension earlier this month.”
Sam Robinson· Jun 24“Drake London is set to anchor the Falcons' receiver room once again in 2026 and well into the future.”
Adam La Rose· Jun 23“The Falcons signed WR Drake London to a long-term extension with a new-money average of $35.26 million per year and a total five-year base value of $157.88 million, including a $33.656 million signing bonus and fully guaranteed compensation through the first two years of the deal.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jun 16
“One of my concerns for rostering Chase Brown was, "are they going to add another running back?" The concerns were squashed when they didn't add anyone through free agency or the draft. With the backfield all to himself, Brown feels like an extremely safe pick. From Week 6 on, Brown was the RB7, averaging 17.3 FPPG and 100 total yards per game.”
Colt Williams· Jul 8“Chase Brown proved he was far more than just an early-down runner in 2025. His 0.23 Targets Per Route Run ranked seventh among all running backs, placing him alongside elite receiving backs like Jahmyr Gibbs, De'Von Achane, Christian McCaffrey, and Bijan Robinson.”
Chris Cash· Jul 7“Brown has been a revelation ever since emerging from his quiet rookie season. After handling just 58 touches with one touchdown in 2023, he has scored 22 touchdowns across the past two seasons. Brown finished inside the top 10 in target share among running backs last season, which is impressive enough considering he has Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to compete against for targets.”

“We already know that Joe Burrow has eyes for Chase/Higgins/Chase Brown, and everything leftover goes to Mike Gesicki.”
Jeff Krisko· Jun 21“Chase Brown possesses explosive traits, though he is an incumbent Bengals starter with the team already having younger talent in the backfield.”
Chris Collins· May 29“Even with Samaje Perine still involved, the hosts believed Brown's workload and offensive environment create legitimate top-five fantasy upside.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 21“The FantasyPros crew argued that Brown's second-half breakout last season showcased his true ceiling once Cincinnati's offense stabilized around Joe Burrow. They highlighted Brown's usage as a true three-down workhorse and pointed out how heavily Zac Taylor leaned on him late in the year.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 21“Brown ranked fifth in weighted opportunity share, seventh among running backs in target share at 14.5%, and evaded the ninth-most tackles in the league. His expected fantasy points per game exceeded his real-world production, meaning the efficiency was even better than the box score suggested.”
Matty Kiwoom· May 18“Chase Brown is priced at RB16 in most markets, which feels like a gift given what he did in 2024 and 2025. He finished as the RB7 on a per-game basis last season, and Cincinnati didn't bring in a single meaningful threat this offseason to cut into his workload.”
Matty Kiwoom· May 18“Brown offers one of the safest workloads among RB1 candidates. Cincinnati appears committed to him as the clear lead back, and his receiving role gives him a reliable weekly floor. The downside is touchdown upside.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“RB Chase Brown is becoming extension-eligible, and could dip into the cap space created by the Bengals' recent moves.”
