Drake London
  • 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.

    Steve Krebs· Aug 25
  • 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.

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

    Tom Strachan· Aug 23

  • 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.

    Kurt Mullen· Aug 14
  • 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 .

    Tom Strachan· Aug 11
  • 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 .

    Logan Ulrich· Jul 19
  • 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.

    Logan Ulrich· Jul 19
  • London was on his way to another stellar season in 2025 before a PCL injury in Week 11 derailed him, limiting him to 12 games. On a per-game basis, London averaged 5.7 receptions (WR8) for 76.6 yards (WR7) with 7 touchdowns.

    Rich Hribar· Jul 10
  • London was cooking last year before a PCL injury derailed his season in Week 11. In Weeks 1-10 last year, London was the WR6 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, he was fourth in target share (30.3%), fourth in receiving yards per game (86.4), sixth in yards per route run (2.74), fifth in first-read share (37.6%), and seventh in first downs per route run (0.135, per Fantasy Points Data).

  • 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
  • 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).

    FFToday· Jun 2
  • 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
Justin Jefferson
  • Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) Condolences if you rostered Justin Jefferson in 2025. According to our data, Jefferson teams had a 3.54% win rate in 2025. That level of return stings and isn’t something fantasy managers forget in a hurry, but there are reasons for optimism in 2026.

    Tom Strachan· Aug 28
  • Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) Finishes Outside the Top 20 Wide Receivers The prediction: Jefferson, currently going as a top-six receiver, finishes this season outside the top 20 at his position. This is partly a skepticism play on his new starting quarterback’s fit in this specific offense, particularly real questions about accessing the middle of the field effectively. Even last year, on a per-route basis, Jefferson already graded as only a fringe top-15 to top-17 receiver in efficiency metrics, not a true elite option, once poor quarterback play is set aside.

  • Justin Jefferson failed to live up to his ADP, while Jordan Addison couldn’t be trusted with anyone but Wentz starting. The veteran averaged 7.5 targets and 16 PPR fantasy points per game during the four contests he played with Wentz, totaling 15.1+ points in all but one outing.

  • Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) | Under 1,376 Receiving Yards & 293.71 Fantasy Points As is the case with Drake London, Justin Jefferson finds himself in a quarterback situation where neither candidate is particularly promising. Kyler Murray is by far the more reliable option over J.J.

    Steve Krebs· Aug 25
  • Round 3: Justin Jefferson (QB – MIN) I feel great about Justin Jefferson this season with Kyler Murray as his quarterback.

  • Round 12: Jauan Jennings (WR – MIN) Jauan Jennings enters a crowded offense with Justin Jefferson , Jordan Addison and T.

  • Brown , Jaxon Smith‑Njigba , Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb all provide stable weekly production because their offenses run directly through them.

  • Jefferson has been a fantasy superstar since he entered the NFL. Unfortunately, the veteran is coming off a massively disappointing season, finishing last year as the WR21, averaging 11.9 PPR fantasy points per game despite finishing seventh in the league with 141 targets.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 15
  • With a better quarterback, Justin Jefferson is a top-five pick, but with J.J. McCarthy ‘s past poor play and the uncertainty of Kyler Murray , we get a discount on one of the best wide receivers in the league.

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 14
  • Last year, Jefferson was still sixth in target share (28.5%) and seventh in first-read share (35.1%), so we should all expect the Minnesota passing attack to run through their alpha wide receiver again in 2026.

  • Last year, Justin Jefferson had a horrible runout as the WR28 in fantasy points per game (WR14 in expected fantasy points per game). Obviously, a ton of his season was impacted by the level of quarterback play, but Jefferson also slid to 36th in separation score and 38th in route win rate (among 109 qualifying receivers, per Fantasy Points Data).

  • Justin Jefferson is the fifth-best wide receiver in the Madden universe, apparently

  • Tate isn’t entering the NFL with the pedigree of a Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson , for example, but his combination of age, draft capital, and college production is extremely appealing

    Ryan Kirksey· Aug 6
  • Having Justin Jefferson , Jordan Addison , and Jauan Jennings at your disposal is an embarrassment of riches

    Kyle Zeigler· Aug 6
  • Round 3: Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) Wow. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Justin Jefferson ?
