Falcons WR Drake London was only able to haul in two passes for 15 yards against the Steelers, drawing only three targets. QB Kirk Cousins only completed 16 passes in the game, and London drew four less targets than WR Ray Ray McCloud.

What They're Saying

HC Raheem Morris: "We didn't get the ball to Drake [London] enough."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

London was on the biggest disappointment of the early fantasy slate with an abysmal 3.5 points in PPR. 

Cousins didn't look London's way very much, though he did draw a tough match-up against Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. London did appear to be able to beat the jam off the line and some moments of being open, but Cousins not able to figure out the pass rush.

This shows the floor for London is very low, while he still will hold a high ceiling with his talent.

The Falcons draw the Eagles next week, who did just give up a big game to Packers WR Jayden Reed. It is a solid spot for London to potentially go off and reach the heights he is capable of.

There is hope for a bounce back, but the Falcons may take longer than fantasy managers want to show his elite potential.
