Fantasy Football Player Notes

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. The Falcons' WR1 posted elite production alongside Michael Penix Jr., and there's little threat to his massive target share entering 2026. Even if Atlanta opens the year with Tua Tagovailoa under center while Penix recovers, London's role as the focal point of the passing attack should remain unchanged. With volume, talent, and red-zone usage all working in his favor, London profiles as a top-tier fantasy WR1 once again.

Zachariah Branch enters Atlanta with a clear opportunity to carve out an immediate role behind Drake London in a thin Falcons WR room. The explosive rookie thrives with the ball in his hands, leading the nation in screen targets while showcasing elite open-field ability and dynamic YAC skills. His fit alongside Tua Tagovailoa makes plenty of sense stylistically, especially in an offense that could manufacture touches for him early. Although his smaller frame may cap his ceiling, Branch has intriguing upside if he can quickly secure the Falcons' No. 2 WR role.
