Drake London Week 3 Outlook - Falcons at Lions

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

After finishing with a goose egg in Week 1 with only one target, London got things going in Week 2. He commanded a 25% Target share a 30% air yard share, and manufactured 2.09 YPRR. London was the WR19 in fantasy scoring last week. Talent is not a problem for London, but weekly pass game volume and quarterback play definitely are. Against the Lions' stout run defense, the Falcons could be forced to throw more than they want. If that happens, London can post another productive stat line. Last year, he was fifth in receiving grade and 12th in YPRR against zone coverage. London will run about 86% of his routes against Cameron Sutton (66.7% catch rate and 88.9 passer rating) and Jerry Jacobs (73.3% catch rate and 127.5 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3 with WR2 upside
