News: 3 days agoLondon secured nine of 10 targets for 194 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Spin: London and Michael Penix got their first 2026 game together off to a very quiet start, but once the duo began clicking, they helped fuel the surprising road rout. Two of London's fourth-quarter catches accounted for 108 of his yards, the first a 68-yarder early in the period on which he appeared he could have scored but was caught from behind at the Packers' 16-yard line. London then struck again with just over five minutes remaining, recording a 40-yard grab where he ran away from a fallen defender to Green Bay's 13-yard line to set up the final touchdown of the night. The receiving yardage tally was a new career high for the 2022 first-round pick, while his nine receptions were his most since Week 9 of last season. London will take a 15-274-0 line into a Week 4 divisional road clash against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: London enters his fifth NFL season with eyes on finishing in the top 15 in fantasy points per game for the third season in a row. The 2022 first-round pick broke out with a 100-1,271-9 receiving line and a fifth-place finish in fantasy points (14th PPG) in 2024. Last season, he missed five games and fell to 19th in fantasy points, but he was actually better on a per-game basis (seventh) and was the top scorer among receivers three times between Weeks 6 and 10. London remains heavily targeted (career 28% share) and sees plenty of work near the goal line (25 end zone targets over the past two seasons). As long as one of Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. can play somewhat competent ball, the 25-year-old London shouldn't have trouble providing fringe-WR1 fantasy production.
