Drake London

London secured 10 of 18 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

The Falcons' loss ends their slim postseason hopes and caps off a disappointing season for the team's offense. Penix had all day to operate from a clean pocket against a toothless Carolina defense and picked apart the Panthers from start to finish, targeting Drake London relentlessly. His interception came on a tipped ball by an Atlanta pass catcher, his second such pick over the past two games. Penix during his three late-season starts displayed his strong arm and ability to change plays at the line and manipulate secondaries with his eyes. Penix's functional mobility was on full display over his three rookie season starts; he did well to avoid oncoming rushers and keep his eyes upfield. He profiles as the kind of point guard quarterback who can fuel fantasy production for at least a couple pass catchers. Penix will be a reasonable floor play in fantasy lineups in 2025.

London dominated looks from Michael Penix for a third straight game. His gaudy stat line included three bad drops, including a would-be touchdown in the first quarter. London ends his third NFL season with career highs in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,271), and touchdowns (9). He put up solid numbers despite having Kirk Cousins as his quarterback for the first 15 weeks of the season, and was much more productive with Penix under center. The big-bodied London was sometimes the victim of low pass volume in the massively run-heavy Atlanta offense, but proved an efficient producer and a superb red zone threat. London will be in the top-10 wide receiver conversation next summer if Penix is the Falcons' starter.

The Falcons have gone back-and-forth with the Panthers in the first half, but the club put together a strong two-minute drill to take a 24-17 lead into halftime.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for today s game vs. the Panthers. It s a significant loss. Mooney ranks second among Falcons in targets, catches, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. WR KhaDarel Hodge figures to pick up most of Mooney s snaps today but would be a desperation fantasy start. WRs Drake London and Ray-Ray McCloud and TE Kyle Pitts could also get target boosts.
