“Pitts led the team in target share because Drake London played just 12 games.”

“Doubling up on wide receiver will let you mix in something like Justin Jefferson and Drake London or AJ Brown .”

“Drake London was in the middle of a top-3 finish through 9 games before injuries cut short his 2025 season, finishing top-10 in fantasy points per game while dominating targets in Atlanta’s offense. The Falcons’ WR1 posted elite production alongside Michael Penix Jr., and there’s little threat to his massive target share entering 2026.”

“Fantasy Football Research & Advice Fantasy Football Expert Rankings 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Kit Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer Fantasy Football Projections: Wide Receiver Drake London (WR – ATL) | Under 1,328 Receiving Yards Let’s be real, things are looking grim at the quarterback position for the Atlanta Falcons. This will no doubt have a direct impact on Drake London’s outlook.”

“your wide receiver pick will likely come down to Drake London , Nico Collins or A.J.”

“London is the clear top receiving option in Atlanta’s offense, though there are still concerns around the offense as a whole and what kind of QB play the team will get. Even with the concerns at QB, fantasy managers have seen London produce with lackluster players under center in years past and should continue to be a top-12 option this season.”

“Starting WR/WR with Drake London or Nico Collins in round two could let you lean into Zero RB with an elite tight end such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride .”

“The Falcons also just gave WR Drake London a deal worth a little over $35 million annually, so that seems like the range that Flowers’ deal will slot into .”

“London was on a tear before a PCL injury blunted his momentum and his statistical finish to the season. He topped 100 yards receiving in five out of nine games to start the season before the injury, then had 109 yards and a touchdown combined over the final three after he returned.”

“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.”

“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).”

“the Bengals hints that DeVonta Smith will play significant slot snaps, too, which probably bodes well for Smith’s fantasy value.”

“Roster Constructions to Consider at 1.12 Fantasy Football Draft Pick The back end of the draft board is a good place to double up on running backs, pairing either Jeanty or Saquon with the likes of Chase Brown or Kenneth Walker in the second round before adding a receiver like DeVonta Smith or Zay Flowers in the third round.”

“01 | DeVonta Smith | WR, Philadelphia Eagles DeVonta Smith ‘s Athletic Profile Last season, DeVonta Smith finished just outside of WR2 range with an underwhelming 11.9 FPPG.”

“Ladd McConkey and DeVonta Smith were also considered. 4.11: Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN) Jaylen Waddle is being overlooked as he enters his first year with the Broncos.”

“However, Smith was outstanding when seeing enough volume, averaging 19.3 fantasy points per game in the seven contests where he had seven or more targets, scoring 20 or more in nearly a third of those outings.”

“Honorable mention: DeVonta Smith and Luther Burden .” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ) “ Garrett Wilson is an elite talent stuck on a team lacking elite quarterback play.”

“Advice: Moore is clearly behind DeVonta Smith , Dontaviyon Wicks, Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon , and Marquise Brown .”

“Smith is a perfect WR pairing with Nabers, bringing a player fantasy managers should feel good about not only being the top target on their team, but one who has proven he can carry the load as a top-12 WR for fantasy.”

“83.9% outside, 78.5% on-ball DeVonta Smith ’s 2025 Reception Perception profile:”

“When one of Brown or DeVonta Smith has missed time in the past, Goedert has stepped up as the second option”

“Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”

“DeVonta Smith is a terrific receiver, but it might be a mistake to assume that Smith’s 2026 numbers will dwarf those of Lemon, the 20th overall pick in this year’s draft.”
