BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR24
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had an awful Week 1 performance, totaling two receptions on three targets for 15 receiving yards and 2.5 half-point PPR fantasy points. However, the entire offense struggled, giving fantasy players hope that the star receiver would bounce back in Week 2.
The former USC star has been productive over the past two weeks, totaling 12 receptions on 16 targets for 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns, scoring at least 14.4 fantasy points in both contests. Some fantasy players might want to bench London in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints.
However, that would be a mistake. London has had significant success running horizontal breaking routes this season. Meanwhile, the Saints have surrendered the most receiving yards on horizontal breaking routes over the first three weeks.
Drake London is running way more "horizontal-breaking" routes in the "Puka Nacua role" under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.
And he's been really successful with them!
Guess which defense has allowed the most yards on horizontal-breaking routes in 2024? https://t.co/fBsqG2UOqV pic.twitter.com/27vbTFL53w

Fantasy players should have confidence starting London as a WR2 this week against New Orleans. The Falcons offense is starting to click, and the matchup is better than many believe.
