Falcons WR Drake London caught 12 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a score in Thursday night's 36-30 overtime win over the Bucs. Atlanta attacked the seams of Tampa Bay's Cover 3 defense all night, with London doing a lot of the damage. He opened the scoring with an 18-yard catch-and-run TD on the first drive of the game. London created big separation and then spun off a would-be tackler to get into the end zone. He had four other catches of 15+ yards on the night, including an 18-yarder on third and three in overtime. London appeared to suffer a chest injury on that catch and exited the game. WR KhaDarel Hodge, filling in for London, scored the game-winning TD on the next play. London did a post-game interview and was going bananas in the post-game locker room celebration, though, so it doesn't seem like the injury is serious.
After a quiet Week 1, London has been everything drafters hoped for over the last four games. He's averaging:
London has drawn a big 27% of Falcons targets over that stretch. That's even more exciting because Atlanta has opened up the passing game the past two weeks. After calling pass on just 54% of their snaps over the first three games, they've registered 71% and 78% pass rates the last two.
With QB Kirk Cousins looking better and better every week, London is a good bet for WR1 production the rest of the way.
