Drake London vs Kenneth Walker

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Top cap hit: Drake London, $7,996,200 (2.65 percent)”

“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.”

“Drake London is set to anchor the Falcons' receiver room once again in 2026 and well into the future.”

“Round 13: Travis Kelce (TE – KC) The Chiefs didn’t add any new weapons besides Kenneth Walker III .”

“That should change with the arrival of big-play RB Kenneth Walker III.”

“Check out all of DBro’s top fantasy football draft picks to target >> Kenneth Walker III (RB – KC) The Chiefs have had a plodding backfield in recent years, with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt producing few explosives in the running game.”

“Selected with the final pick in the first round, Seattle brought in Jadarian Price to immediately slide into the vacancy that Kenneth Walker III left behind.”

“Last year, he orchestrated one of the most dynamic rushing attacks in the league, ultimately leading Kenneth Walker to a Super Bowl MVP accolade.”

“According to Fantasy Points Data, the Chiefs saw a two-high safety look at the third-highest rate in the NFL last year. If defenses continue to defend Kansas City with that look, Walker will take advantage of the light box. He had the second-highest explosive run rate (8.1%) among qualifying running backs last season (per Fantasy Points Data).”

“However, Kenneth Walker III will be the workhorse of this offense and should see an uptick in usage in the passing game, especially with Patrick Mahomes coming off his ACL injury.”

“Reportedly, the Chiefs will make Kenneth Walker III their featured running back, including in the passing game.”

“With Zach Charbonnet injured, Walker had a ridiculously productive postseason run last season: 65 carries, 313 rushing yards, four touchdowns, nine receptions, 104 receiving yards.”

“Seattle let Kenneth Walker III go despite Zach Charbonnet still recovering from his ACL injury.”

“Kenneth Walker III (RB – KC) Currently RB9 in dynasty ECR, one analyst believes Walker is at his absolute peak value right now given the wave of hype around his move to a new, higher-profile situation, valuing him personally much lower. The concern is a real track record of not handling a massive workload, with his new team’s added backfield depth suggesting the coaching staff may share that concern.”

“The opportunity ahead of Walker in the Chiefs offense could push him into the elite fantasy production tier, as Kansas City has lacked a top-end RB in Andy Reid’s offense for some time. If Walker can stay on the field, he should have every chance to be a great value in the second round of drafts.”
