Drake London Fantasy Overview

Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a rib injury late in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens and missed overtime. Penix was optimistic afterward that he'd be ready for Week 6, but he's scheduled for an MRI on Monday to get a better look at the damage, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

London hauled in seven of 11 targets from two different QBs for 118 yards and finished Week 6 as a WR1, pending Monday Night Football. He made the final catch for the Falcons before QB Tua Tagovailoa’s INT in overtime ended the game. The fifth-year WR finished with 19.8 PPR points in the 30 -23 loss to the Ravens.

Falcons WR Drake London exploded for 9 catches and 194 yards in Thursday night’s win over the Packers. Amazing what viable QB play can do! After totaling just 6 catches and 80 yards from QB Cooper Rush over the first 2 games of the season, London got a nice outing from QB Michael Penix in his 2026 debut. Penix completed 18 of 25 passes (72%) for 256 yards (10.2 YPA), 1 TD, and 1 INT. London accounted for 40% of Atlanta’s targets, 36% of the receptions, and 76% of the receiving yards. A blown coverage led to a 68-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter. Then London capped his night with a 40-yard contested catch over DB Evan Williams.

Falcons QB Cooper Rush will start today's game vs. the Panthers, but QB Michael Penix is "nearing a return" and could make his debut vs. the Packers on Thursday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Penix is working his way back from an ACL tear but was fully cleared in mid-August. He and Rush reportedly split first-team reps in practice this week. Penix is no superstar, but he'll be a big upgrade from Rush. WR Drake London will be especially excited to see Penix back. London averaged 20.4 PPR points per game with Penix vs. 13.9 without him across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Consider buying low on London and TE Kyle Pitts over the next few days, especially if they struggle again vs. the Panthers today.
