BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is coming off one of his worst games of the season, as he caught just one of his five targets in last week's 13-8 victory over the New York Jets. London's eight receiving yards were his second-fewest of the season, behind only his zero yards back in Week 1.
However, London still rates as a low-end WR2 play against the Buccaneers this week by virtue of his strong play in between those two stinkers. Before the Jets game, London had 50 or more receiving yards in five of his past six games.
That includes the Falcons' first meeting of the season with the Buccaneers, which came back in October. In Atlanta's 16-13 victory, London was targeted seven times. He hauled in six of those for 54 yards.
Sure, last week's performance is a reminder that in an offense like this one, any passing weapon could wind up having a bad day. However, that game also came against one of the NFL's best pass defenses. The Buccaneers aren't the Jets. New York allows the third-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL, while Tampa allows the fifth-most.
