One of the key events going into the NFL season is when they release the schedules of every team. It’s always a fun exercise to try and predict the records of each team. Sometimes, you can be pretty close; other times, you’re completely off-base. So, rather than predicting records, I’d like to look at 10 players that should really benefit from their team’s schedule.
Looking into these players, I am looking at who they play on a weekly basis and how their teams should use them and the different situations we could see. Here are five players that you should target for fantasy football this season. Below is a closer look at Drake London.

Players to Target for Fantasy Football: Drake London
Here are players you should target in fantasy football drafts.
Drake London (WR – ATL)
Looking at another rookie receiver from a season ago, I would expect Drake London to pick up right where he left off. From Weeks 13 – 18, he finished as a top-20 receiver in fantasy football. During that time, he had 48 targets with 31 receptions. This was enough to generate 428 receiving yards. This production came from the Falcons turning the offense over to quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Last season, London finished with 72 receptions for 866 yards and four touchdowns. Despite some inconsistent quarterback play, London still had 117 total targets, and that’s plenty worthy of being in the WR1 conversation. When you look at the SOS for London, it’s ranked as the seventh easiest for wide receivers. Matchups against the Panthers, Lions, Colts, Titans, Cardinals and Vikings should generate pleasing performances for him. Meanwhile, he should see plenty of volume every single week.
When looking at where London is drafted, his ADP is 65th overall. Meanwhile, he’s currently ranked as a fifth-tier receiver on FantasyPros with a 27th overall ranking. That said, I project that London outplays his ADP and should be close to being a top-15 receiver by the time we make it to the fantasy football playoffs.
