WR Drake London, ATL (1 Viewer)

[styleride85]

Much better day. Going to be hard for me to decide who to start on a weekly basis as my WR3 between him, Ridley, Flowers and Addison. Might have to think about a trade.

definitely trade. If you're that stacked at WR, i'm assuming you're weak somewhere else.

 

[ZADO]

Reports of his demise were of a premature nature

Plus with Pitts pretty much AWOL, London should maintain a big target share even if the pie isn’t overly large

 

[dschuler]

People keep trying to tie in Pitts and London together but Pitts seems like an afterthought and isn’t in the game in several key moments.

London in London, it’s gotta happpen right?

I see what you did there.


This clash may have him Burning.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

He's certainly got The Right Profile.

 

[Drake Hater]

He's about to face the same secondary that DJ Moore lit up. What are the chances he does something similar tomorrow? Art Smith calls conservative and Ridder isn't great, but they have to see these Commanders corners and know to exploit that...right?

How Mike Evans influenced Drake London's game

Drake London

Since Week 2:

WR16
Averaging over 8 targets/game
10 contested catches (leads league)

Week 1’s mega dud is starting to feel like an outlier

The rapport with Ridder is there, and the upside is flashing

London just put up a 9-125 week

Sure would be nice if this kid gets on track. There has been flashes.

Tori McElhaney

Arthur Smith said Drake London's groin injury vs. the Titans "wasn't as bad as we thought." Said they'll see how the week goes with him.

It's not him. It's like Garrett's. QB situation is well below par.

 

[the spanker]

Groin injury, is he droppable?

 

[Biabreakable]

London is listed as out and will not play on Sunday.

 

[Truebluey]

Groin injury, is he droppable?

Not unless you have an extraordinarily deep roster. Schedule is favorable going forward and Heineke may look for him a lot.

 

[the spanker]

I agree with you but wanted to check for any additional info I may not be aware of.

Someone dropped him in my 12 man ppr league and I immediately scooped him up.

ROBOT VOICE: “This is a savvy move…”

 

[Truebluey]

Any chance they work on things during the bye and get their playmakers in better positions?

Is Coach Smith under any pressure at all to produce?

This is the hope, slim as it is. Not a bad playoff schedule. Hoping things work out bc Drake would be a solid WR3 with WR2 upside.

 

[zamboni]

Is Coach Smith under any pressure at all to produce?

Can’t imagine he’s not on the hot seat given how the team overall has played and now switching back and forth between QBs. If anything, they’ll probably make the OC the first scapegoat though.

I'm in dynasty league and I'm not dropping him. Hoping something happens to where either he gets traded or they acquire a legit qb and get rid of the head coach.

 

[Drake Hater]

No Lattimore this weekend gives London a great matchup. Just need Ridder to deliver it.

That’s like depending on Jack Trudeau.

 

[zamboni]

Finally saw what kind of ceiling London has - please get this man a real QB

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

BEAST, GET THIS MAN A QB!!!

 

[Drake Hater]

BEAST, GET THIS MAN A QB!!!

Matchup proof except for his QB.

He has an elite skillset and has proven what he's capable of. Ridder is not the answer. QBs matter. Send a note to Justin Jefferson in the ER to ask him what he thinks.

 

[crushedspirit]

I blame the play callers more than the QB

I've seen games where he's just a blocker

Ridder can't throw and Smith is risk averse. It's a terrible situation for elite pass catchers. Best thing that can happen to ATL this season is for them to lose and miss the playoffs, fire Smith and draft a QB. There are multiple quality first round NFL talents coming in 2024. Get one.

I’d like to see them sign Cousins.

He would be a great fit but I don't see them Vikes letting him go, especially after seeing what life's like without him.

My guess is they sign him to another short contract and draft their future QB. Watching Dobbs the last couple weeks has been vomit inducing.

 

[crushedspirit]

This guy has Alpha written all over him, so to not use him most of the time is a colossal failure whomever is to blame.

Some of the catches he's made this year have been insane.

 

[crushedspirit]

He attacks the ball which I love from a WR. That catch today snagging it away from a sure INT was just one example.

Adam Levitan
One of offseason’s biggest winners so far has to be Drake London. Very, very good NFL WR who hasn’t gotten chance to truly show it.

But now:
* Arthur Smith gone
* Modern NFL offense installed
* Kirk Cousins has gone over 4000 yards in all seven of his fully healthy seasons

[King of the Jungle]

It has been tough watching this talented guy have deal with poor QB play and conservative play-calling the last two years. Will not be shocked if he is a top 5 FF WR in 24’.

 

[Faust]

Derek Brown
watching Drake London all 22 from last year...

London is open religiously but the QB play of Ridder is a tough watch. ball placement and timing issues every game. Tons of reps where the problem is clearly the QB.

Had to refresh myself with Drake London's route running goodness again. The breakout is upon us.

Not only do I think Drake London is ready made to be a high-quality No. 1 X-receiver, his game and style are perfectly suited for Kirk Cousins

He's the guy people think Garrett Wilson is, not that Wilson isn't also good.

At a discounted rate as well (London that is). I think Wilson will inch towards top five if Rodgers can stay upright for a year, but that is a big if. London has that upside as well though.
