Fitz’s Top Draft Targets
As a rookie, London had a 29.4% target share. He also had a 32.4% target rate, meaning he was targeted on 32.4 of all his pass routes and averaged 2.07 yards per route run. Yes, London’s target share spiked after TE Kyle Pitts got hurt during the latter part of the season. But there’s really no one in the Atlanta offense, other than London and Pitts, who will see a lot of targets this year. And London is just scratching the surface of his abilities. He turns 22 later this month, and London wasn’t even of legal drinking age when he showed up at the Falcons’ training camp a year ago.
Some people contend that Watson is being overrated because a large percentage of his 2022 fantasy scoring came from a small handful of big plays. On the other hand, we should probably expect a disproportionate number of big plays from a 6-foot-4 receiver with the wingspan of a pterodactyl and 4.36 speed. Watson scored seven touchdowns over a four-game stretch last season — a scoring barrage that illustrates the young receiver’s vast upside.
As my colleague Andrew Erickson noted while listing Watson among his favorite draft targets, the Green Bay receiver’s 26% target rate per route run ranked 17th among all WRs with at least 400 snaps, and Watson’s 2.47 yards per route run ranked inside the top 10, tying Davante Adams.
