Andy Holloway said Drake London has the profile to turn his already massive volume into a true fantasy cheat code. London owned a 29.3% target share last season (third-highest among wideouts) and spiked to an outrageous 38.9% in Michael Penix’s three starts. Holloway noted Arthur Smith finally moved London around in 2024 – 38.9% of his snaps came from the slot and 52.7% were off the line, allowing him to be put in motion and run more dig and deep-out routes where he grades as one of Reception Perception’s top separators. With almost no competition for targets beyond Kyle Pitts and a quarterback who can actually drive the ball outside the numbers, Holloway believes London is a legitimate dark-horse to lead the NFL in receptions, yards, and touchdowns and finish as the overall WR1, making him worth taking ahead of names like CeeDee Lamb or Amon-Ra St. Brown in season-long drafts.

Andrew Erickson likes Drake London at 50-1 for Offensive Player of the Year. London finished fourth in the league in receiving yards last season and Erickson expects a touchdown spike with Michael Penix Jr. throwing inside the dome. Because the award often tracks "most fantasy points by a non-QB," Erickson sees a realistic ceiling if Atlanta’s red-zone work tilts toward London instead of Bijan Robinson. He called the price "way too long" for a player he thinks could post a monster stat line.

Terrell Furman Jr. backed Bijan Robinson at 14-1 for Offensive Player of the Year, calling him one of the league’s few backs capable of flirting with 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards. Furman thinks voters may tire of handing every award to Cincinnati and will gravitate toward Robinson’s highlight-reel versatility if the Falcons stay in playoff contention. He noted the only reason he hesitated on Christian McCaffrey was price; Robinson offers the explosive profile he wants at a far better number.

Andy Holloway defended Kyle Pitts as a sneaky top-five TE candidate. Pitts opened last season with five top-12 finishes in his first seven games before a quarterback carousel derailed the offense. Holloway stressed that Pitts is still only 24, retains elite athleticism, and now gets a full year with Kirk Cousins under center. The Falcons lack established pass-catchers beyond Drake London, setting Pitts up for a target share similar to his 2021 breakout. Holloway projected at least five touchdowns—citing the logical progression of 1-2-3-4 scores over his first four seasons—and argued that even modest red-zone improvement would vault Pitts from his current TE10 draft slot into the elite tier.

Rich pushed back on fading Darnell Mooney entirely, noting the Falcons added no meaningful receiver competition and that Penix’s three-game sample was too small to panic over usage shifts. With Drake London monopolizing defensive attention, Rich sees a clear WR3/4 fantasy role for Mooney and is happy to scoop him once he falls into the double-digit rounds. Short-term injury discounts are exactly where he likes to find midseason flex producers.

Jeff Mueller is out on Darnell Mooney at his current ninth-round ADP. The shoulder injury that has kept Mooney off the practice field lacks detail, raising the risk of missed regular-season games. Even when healthy, Mueller worries about target volume after the quarterback switch to Michael Penix; late-2024 data showed Mooney’s routes and looks nosedive compared with the Kirk Cousins stretch. If Mooney slips into double-digit rounds he might reconsider, but as things stand Mueller would rather not roster him.

Jim Coventry ranked Bijan Robinson as his RB2, noting that the running back posted league-winning rushing numbers over the final six weeks of 2024. The concern is that once Michael Penix Jr. took over, Robinson’s target count cratered because the rookie quarterback hunted deeper routes instead of hitting check-downs. If Atlanta doesn’t scheme more throws to the back, Robinson will rely almost exclusively on rushing production, something Coventry views as a slight downgrade compared with Barkley’s role in an even stronger offense. Still, the talent and late-season usage keep Robinson squarely in the top tier.

Davis Mattek called Tyler Allgeier one of "the best picks in the entire pool" because backs tethered to first-round stars are underpriced insurance policies. He argued that early-round workhorses miss games at a high clip, and drafters routinely overlook the contingency value.

Tom Strachan pounded the table for Tyler Allgeier at RB54. He ranked 10th in explosive run rate and 7th in juke rate last season while posting six top-36 weekly finishes in each of the past two years. Allgeier already offers flex-worthy production, and if Bijan Robinson goes down, Strachan says Allgeier ‘goes to the absolute freaking moon.’

Just A Bet Outside grabbed the Falcons to make the playoffs at +155 on DraftKings. The wager leans on Atlanta drawing one of the league’s easiest schedules, featuring non-division matchups with the Dolphins, Patriots, Colts, Jets and Seahawks. Offensively, 10 of 11 starters return behind a top-tier line anchored by Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary, with Bijan Robinson, Drake London (1,200 yards, 100 catches) and Darnell Mooney (≈1,000 yards) providing explosive skill talent. Rookie QB Michael Penix is the swing factor, but the handicap assumes adequate play given his college pedigree. The defense, 31 sacks and an 8th-lowest 20 % pressure rate last year, was aggressively addressed: Leonard Floyd and first-rounders Jelan Walker (15) and James Pierce (26) join the edge group, while Jessie Bates, A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes stabilize the secondary. In a division he deems "not super tough," three wild-card spots make the plus-money ticket attractive.

R.J. White endorsed Bijan Robinson for Offensive Player of the Year, citing a realistic path to 2,000 yards from scrimmage—and potentially even 2,000 rushing yards—in Atlanta’s run-centric scheme. White compared the possible stat line to Christian McCaffrey’s award-winning season and believes Robinson’s usage ceiling in Arthur Smith’s offense justifies an aggressive futures ticket.

R.J. White bet Bijan Robinson at +900 to lead the league in rushing touchdowns. Robinson finished just two scores off the top as a rookie and erupted for six TDs in a three-game stretch once the Falcons’ line was intact. White projects Atlanta to lean even harder on Robinson and thinks 15-plus touchdowns is the median outcome, making 9-to-1 excellent value.

R.J. White bet Drake London under 7.5 receiving touchdowns. New quarterback Pennington reached the end zone in only one of three starts last year and still faces unclear efficiency over a full season. London scored just six times across his first 33 games and now lacks a secondary threat to draw coverage. White expects tight windows near the goal line and sees little evidence London suddenly posts eight TDs in what projects as a middling Atlanta offense.

R.J. White took Bijan Robinson over 1,150.5 rushing yards at –120 and would still play it at 1,200. He reminded listeners that Robinson piled up 1,450 yards last year even though his first 20-carry game didn’t come until Week 7; from that point forward he was on a 1,663-yard pace. With an inexperienced quarterback and limited pass-catching depth behind Drake London, White expects Arthur Smith to lean on Robinson from the opening whistle. Robinson’s line sits below those of Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor despite White’s projection that the Falcon back could lead the entire league in rushing.

Stuckey explained that instead of forcing a Tampa Bay win-total under at a number he thinks is efficient, he is backing Atlanta to win the NFC South at any price better than +200. He called the Falcons "still the best division pick," noting that the Buccaneers are trading at nearly even money while Atlanta provides more than double the payoff and captures the same anti-Bucs thesis without laying a big price.

Stuckey leaned toward betting the Falcons at +230 to +250 to win the NFC South, arguing the price is far better than Tampa’s –115 despite minimal difference between the teams. His power ratings make Atlanta favorites in eight games and underdogs by more than a field goal only three times (at San Francisco, home vs Buffalo off a bye, and at Minnesota in Week 2). The schedule ranks inside his three easiest in the league and opens with a home date against a Buccaneers roster dealing with multiple key injuries. Off-season moves aimed at fixing last year’s pass-rush woes—signing Leonard Floyd and drafting Pierce and Walker—should complement a secondary he calls "good enough." Offensively the unit "runs it back" with Michael Penix Jr. after the quarterback flashed versus poor defenses, while Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Darnell Mooney give legitimate skill talent. Stuckey concedes the Kaleb McGary right-tackle injury and thin depth at receiver could bite, but maintains his numbers plus the soft schedule make Atlanta the clear value play to win the division.

John Middlekauff! agreed the Jaguars could crater but volunteered Atlanta as an equally live candidate to draft inside the top-five. He noted the Falcons have lost multiple starting offensive linemen in the past 48 hours—one carted off, another out six-to-eight weeks—undercutting the one thing Arthur Smith’s offenses leaned on when they managed seven wins. Middlekauff! argued that if Kirk Cousins or Michael Penix misses any time behind that deteriorating front, a mediocre six-win projection could freefall to three victories in a hurry as veterans tune out a lame-duck staff. With futures markets still pricing Atlanta as a playoff dark horse, he believes their “fewest wins” odds are being mis-priced and should be hunted for value.

Josh argued that paying a Round-2 premium for Lamar Jackson (and by extension Josh Allen) is a roster killer in full-PPR redraft. Composite ADP puts the elite quarterbacks at 20th overall, but Josh ranks them 27th. Taking Jackson there forces managers to pass on Chase Brown (RB5 once he became Cincinnati’s starter), Ladd McConkey, Trey McBride—who led all tight ends in targets per game—and Tee Higgins. He illustrated the opportunity cost with a two-for-two: Jackson at 2.11 plus Cooper Kupp in Round 8 versus McConkey in Round 2 plus Brock Purdy in Round 8; he strongly prefers the latter because QB scoring is flatter and Purdy comes six rounds cheaper. Josh advised waiting until Round 3 for an elite QB and using Round 2 to lock in high-ceiling backs and receivers.

London already graded like a WR1/WR2 in target share, targets per route, and yards per route, but averaged only 10.8 PPG his first two years. After Michael Penix Jr. took over, London jumped to 16.5 PPG in three games. McFarland compared the pairing to Brandon Marshall with Jay Cutler and labeled London a locked-in primary option and low-end WR1 whose ceiling spikes if Penix keeps firing tight-window throws.

Nick Whalen said he is actively selecting Drake London over Puka Nacua at the Round-2 turn because London still has another gear to hit. London has missed only one game in three seasons, then exploded once Michael Penix started: 39 targets, 22 catches, 352 yards and two scores across Weeks 16-18, highlighted by an 18-target Week 18 against Carolina. With Darnell Mooney currently banged up and Atlanta thin behind him, London projects for alpha-level volume. Whalen believes Penix’s big arm finally unlocks London’s down-field usage, giving drafters a plausible top-five finish at a discount.

Gretch reminded listeners that Atlanta cut last year’s RB3, leaving no legitimate depth behind Bijan Robinson. If Robinson were sidelined, Tyler Allgeier would reclaim the every-down role he handled for stretches in 2022. Atlanta ran the ball 52 % of the time inside the 10 last season, third-highest in the NFL, so Allgeier would inherit both volume and goal-line work.

Shawn Siegele kept Drake London at No. 17 overall— the final name in his "first-round talent" mega-tier— and happily selected him at pick 18. Siegele believes there is a meaningful production cliff after those top 17 players, so landing London in the early second round locks in a profile he grades similarly to the top half of Round-1. The structure edge is simple: take London while the draft room thinks the elite tier is gone and profit from the gap that follows.

Orlovsky argued that new Falcons play-caller Zach Robinson must dial up far more play action than Atlanta used last season to maximize Michael Penix’s "hand cannon." Penix is a self-described big-game hunter, and the roster boasts multiple vertical threats who can punish single-high looks. Orlovsky wants Robinson to chase chunk gains while still sprinkling an efficient underneath concept portfolio to beat today’s split-safety shells. If Robinson marries that deep-shot philosophy with early-down play action, Penix offers week-winning DFS upside and best-ball spike weeks at his still-depressed draft cost.

Pat Mayo said fantasy managers should treat Kyle Pitts strictly as a trade chip rather than a set-and-forget starter. Pitts is being drafted in the 11th–12th round as the TE16, an ADP that Mayo considers a throw-away price. He highlighted last year’s three-game sample with Michael Penix in which Pitts drew only 12 targets while Drake London saw 39, reinforcing concerns about consistent volume. Mayo believes the market still anchors to Pitts’ 1,000-yard debut season, so even a modest 60-yard, 1-TD Week-1 line would ignite hype and let managers flip him for fifth-round value. His marching orders: roster Pitts as a late dart, actively shop him after any early spike, and cut bait if he is not producing by Week 3.

Jake Ciely endorsed Kyle Pitts as a classic late-round arbitrage play. Years of disappointment have pushed Pitts’ draft price into the deep double-digit rounds, but Ciely believes the market will immediately overreact if the tight end flashes early—especially with Darnell Mooney sidelined. Should Pitts post something like 270 yards and two TDs over the first three games, managers can exploit lingering ‘Mulder-style’ believer bias and trade him as if he’s a locked-in top-four tight end. Ciely’s suggested move: draft Pitts cheaply, hope for a September spike, then cash him out for premium assets before regression (and potential Falcons volatility) sets in.

FantasyPros Staff highlighted Darnell Mooney as a forgotten asset on Sleeper, going outside the top-48 wideouts at ADP 110.7 (WR49). Mooney finished 2024 as the WR31, averaging 12.1 PPR points and scoring a career-best five TDs. Per Fantasy Points Data he cracked the top-36 in air-yard share (33%), first-read target share (26.2%) and deep-target rate (17%). While they conceded he won’t be a league winner, staff believes those underlying usage numbers make him a dependable WR4/FLEX who is currently priced as a bench flyer.

Mike Fanelli said Drake London is being drafted at 19.8 overall (WR10) but owns legitimate overall-WR1 upside. London just logged a WR5 season with 1,271 yards (4th in the league), 158 targets (3rd) and nine touchdowns that accounted for 42.9% of Atlanta scores. He finished top-3 among wideouts in target-per-route rate (30%) and first-read share (35.4%) while posting a 39.1% air-yard share. Fanelli noted the Falcons added no meaningful pass-catchers and Darnell Mooney is battling a shoulder injury, so London again profiles as the unquestioned target hog. Quarterback play is also upgraded: with Michael Penix Jr. at the helm London’s splits spiked to a 39% target share, 50.6% air-yard share, 3.74 yards per route run and 23.1 fantasy points per game (WR2 pace) compared to 24.6%, 35.7%, 2.24 and 15.1 (WR9) with Kirk Cousins. Fanelli called London the only receiver going outside Round 1 who could realistically finish as the top overall WR and urged drafters to scoop him at current ADP.

Tom Strachan dubbed Bijan Robinson the 'big-brains' selection at 1.02 if Chase is gone. Robinson finished third in rushing yards last season, scored just two fewer touchdowns than the league leaders, and posted the lowest stuffed-run rate among 46 qualified backs. His 58 receptions confirm true three-down usage, and Strachan believes that workload could climb even higher in 2025. With locked-in volume, elite efficiency and proven pass-game chops, Strachan would draft Robinson ahead of Justin Jefferson when choosing between the remaining elite options.

Sean Koerner called Ray-Ray McCloud one of the biggest steals in the player pool, estimating the veteran is being drafted roughly 30 spots later than his projections (he should be in the low-60s). Even with Darnell Mooney healthy, Koerner projects McCloud for a full-time slot role in Atlanta’s pass-first scheme and reminded listeners of his elite yards-after-catch rate. In leagues that start 5-7 receivers or in best-ball formats, Koerner believes McCloud’s combination of safe targets and occasional spike weeks makes him an auto-draft at the tail end.

Freedman pegs Drake London for 123 targets (WR15) and a WR25 finish but notes drafters are paying pick 20.4 (WR9) as if London’s 39 targets over Michael Penix’s final three starts are a full-season indicator. Two of those games went to overtime and all three came against bottom-tier pass defenses (Giants, Commanders, Panthers). With Penix still unproven and Arthur Smith expected to funnel offense through the backfield, Freedman argues London’s ceiling is overstated and his floor is risky at the current price.

McFarland called Drake London a low-end WR1 with real upside now that big-armed Michael Penix Jr. replaces last year’s timid passing game. London’s target-share, TPRR, and YPRR numbers have already mapped to WR1/WR2 outcomes, and in three late-season games with Penix he averaged 16.5 PPG. McFarland compared the stylistic fit to Jay Cutler feeding Brandon Marshall 170 targets, noting London finally has a quarterback willing to throw contested intermediates.

Best Ball Guy said he is taking Lamar Jackson ahead of Josh Allen in current best-ball drafts. He argued Todd Monken’s arrival has made Baltimore’s offense far more pass-reliable, giving Jackson weekly 35-point ceilings without needing 100-yard rushing games. The kicker is price: Zay Flowers can still be scooped in the middle of Round 5, allowing an inexpensive Ravens stack while Allen stacks require earlier capital. Because the market has not fully adjusted to Monken’s influence or the Flowers discount, Guy believes Jackson is the higher-leverage pick at similar ADP.

Koerner advised scooping Drake London a few spots ahead of his WR9 draft position, noting that London averaged 19.4 half-PPR points (WR2 pace) in the three games Michael Penix Jr. started to close last season and actually finished as the WR1 overall over that stretch. Penix’s greater willingness to push the ball downfield meshes perfectly with London’s win-everywhere skill set, giving him access to both explosive plays and high-percentage middle-of-field targets. London’s schedule is indoors for more than half his games and features several vulnerable pass defenses. Koerner added that a lingering Darnell Mooney shoulder issue could funnel even more targets London’s way, while ancillary pieces like Ray-Ray McCloud and Kyle Pitts are unlikely to threaten true alpha volume. Koerner ranks him squarely inside his personal top seven wideouts and sees WR1-overall ceiling at a late-first/early-second price.

Brandon Anderson kept Atlanta ninth because the Falcons remain ‘much better run blocking than pass.’ That split is perfect for Bijan Robinson, whose usage should stay sky-high behind a front that has ranked top-ten in run-block win rate for several seasons. However, Anderson called new quarterback Michael Penix ‘kind of a statue back there’ and worries the same poor pass protection that hampered Kirk Cousins last year could still be an issue. Fantasy drafters can confidently chase Bijan volume, but bettors may want to lean under on Atlanta passing props until the line proves it can keep Penix clean.

Tom Strachan labeled Bijan Robinson the "swing-for-the-fences" alternative to Barkley at 1.01. Robinson ranked third in rushing yards (1,456) while finishing just two TDs behind Derrick Henry and James Cook. Per FantasyPoints, he owned the league’s lowest stuffed-run rate and placed top-two in success rate versus both man and zone schemes, demonstrating scheme-proof efficiency. Add in 58 receptions and borderline unstoppable goal-line work, and Strachan sees every-down dominance without the 400-touch baggage Barkley carries.

Joe Pisapia said fantasy managers in super-flex drafts should treat Michael Penix as an upside swing for their late second or ideally third quarterback slot. Pisapia acknowledged it is "a little suspect" that Raheem Morris has held the rookie out of every preseason snap, but he views that more as Atlanta protecting potential trade leverage with Kirk Cousins than an indictment of Penix’s ability. The lack of in-game reps could slow early chemistry with Drake London and Kyle Pitts, yet Pisapia still prefers stashing Penix over the veteran waiver assortment because Penix’s rushing component and deep-ball profile give him week-winning ceilings if Cousins is dealt or benched.

Mike Wright called Bijan Robinson the ultimate floor play at the very top of drafts. Robinson led all backs with a record-setting success rate on 250-plus carries, sees four or more targets every week and remains fully game-script proof—if the Falcons trail, they simply throw to him. Wright pointed out that Atlanta isn’t projected to be favored until Week 8, yet that underdog status has no impact on Robinson’s involvement. Even without many breakaway runs (just one carry over 30 yards last year), Robinson still finished as RB4; Wright thinks the absolute worst-case scenario is a finish around RB8-10. If rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is a quick upgrade and the Falcons win 10-12 games, Wright believes Robinson jumps to the overall RB1 with 16-plus touchdowns in his range of outcomes. Because his downside is so small relative to the other elite backs, Wright is comfortable selecting Robinson first overall in season-long leagues.

Erik Beimfohr said fantasy drafters should be actively overweight on Michael Penix in best-ball “punt QB” builds. Beimfohr pointed out that everything analysts liked about Atlanta’s setup last summer still applies, but now the quarterback is a first-round pick who showed well in brief action and peppered Drake London on roughly 40 % of his routes (crediting a Rich Hrbar stat). With London, Bijan Robinson, Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts in a fast track, he expects a pass-friendly, high-scoring environment while a still-questionable defense forces shoot-outs. Penix’s current ADP sits in the Baker Mayfield bucket, yet Beimfohr believes the ceiling is “QB-window” territory comparable to where fantasy managers once vaulted C.J. Stroud and Trevor Lawrence after breakout seasons. He suggested pairing Geno Smith and Penix as the ideal two-quarterback combination when punting the position late.

Erik Beimfohr pegged Michael Penix as his favorite punt quarterback, highlighting an ADP in the 140s that makes him "the QB like a million". Atlanta’s skill group of Drake London and Bijan Robinson gives Penix instant spike-week potential if Kirk Cousins falters or the veteran’s Achilles flares up. Beimfohr called 2025 "flap-lag season" for the Falcons, expecting new OC Zac Robinson to unleash a more pass-friendly scheme than Arthur Smith’s. Penix brings a proven deep-ball resume (back-to-back 3,700-plus-yard, 9.0 YPA campaigns at Washington) and first-round draft capital, so the path to starts is clearer than the market assumes. At a near-free cost he is an ideal upside stash in Best Ball tournaments and late-round redraft builds.

Jason Moore declared, "Kyle Pitts is going to be a productive tight end this year. It is just a fact." Moore cited Atlanta’s thin offensive depth chart—"they do not have enough players on the offensive side of the football"—and the overwhelmingly positive camp buzz. He set a floor of "at least 600 yards" for Pitts and called him an inevitably "annoying" fantasy asset who will outproduce his current late-round price tag.

Strachan views Drake London as "one of the lowest-priced receivers who could finish as the WR1 overall." He pointed to a late-season surge once Michael Pennings entered the lineup and believes another jump is coming. London’s 30 % target share over the final month of 2024, combined with expected quarterback growth, drove Strachan to grab him early in Round 2.

Tom Strachan highlighted Tyler Allgeier as a glaring value at pick 175—20 spots after consensus and the eighth-largest ADP gap between any backfield’s RB1 and RB2. Fifteen other RB2s go before Allgeier despite his finishing 10th in explosive run rate and 7th in juke rate last season. Strachan noted Allgeier has logged six top-36 weekly finishes in each of his first two campaigns, proving usable even with Bijan Robinson healthy. If Robinson misses time, Strachan would rank only ‘a handful’ of running backs ahead of Allgeier on a weekly basis, making him both a prime contingency play and a viable flex in run-heavy Atlanta. Stash him everywhere—best ball, dynasty, redraft—before the market corrects.

Freedman slotted Bijan Robinson at 261.8 points (RB2) on 70 targets, supporting his RB1 ADP (3.0). Robinson jumped from 1,463 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie to 1,887 yards and 15 touchdowns last year and is still only 23. With second-year quarterback Michael Penix and a proven pass-game resume (86 targets in 2023, 72 in 2024), Freedman says Robinson may be the best running back in football heading into 2025.

Matthew Freedman highlighted Bijan Robinson as another member of his elite 50-plus-target running back club. Because his research shows target volume accounts for 83.6 % of projected fantasy points, Freedman said Robinson’s expected receiving workload gives him top-five upside even if Atlanta’s offense remains run-centric. Freedman urged drafters not to overthink the sophomore’s ceiling, calling Robinson a priority pick anywhere outside the first half of Round 1.

Josh believes Darnell Mooney’s shoulder "Q" tag is masking a breakout season-to-come and letting him slide beyond WR50. Mooney posted 992 yards and a superior yards-per-route-run to Courtland Sutton, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jordan Addison last year while working primarily outside and routinely separating versus man coverage—traits Josh said "didn’t show up in Chicago." Atlanta’s Michael Penix led offense will run at high tempo, rarely sack, and almost never scramble, so every pass play actually becomes an attempt on a defense that remains poor. The Falcons also top the league in 11-personnel usage, guaranteeing Mooney near-full-time snaps once healthy. Coaching staff quotes about "leaning on him more" plus last year’s WR71 overall finish support Josh’s claim that drafters are getting a flex-worthy player for their bench.

Rich Hribar labeled Tyler Allgeier a “hundred percent” priority handcuff. He stressed that fantasy gamers have already seen Allgeier perform well when given work, making him one of the late backs Hribar is targeting most. If Bijan Robinson were to miss time, Allgeier would immediately inherit the backfield, offering league-winning upside for a double-digit-round cost.

Jason Moore said he would draft Drake London ahead of A.J. Brown this season. Moore argued that Atlanta can funnel far more weekly volume to London than Philadelphia will to Brown because the Eagles' elite defense and dominant run game often allow them to throttle back passing in second halves. London projects as the unquestioned first read on nearly every drop-back and should take a "hopeful step up" in consistency with improved quarterback play. Moore believes that target advantage gives London both a safer weekly floor and top-five ceiling, making him his preferred WR1 on that tier even though he still acknowledges Brown’s talent.

Holloway ranked Drake London inside his top-10 wideouts, arguing the volume floor is simply too high to ignore. London earned 157 targets last year and, in three games with Michael Penix Jr., saw 8, 13, and 18 looks. The Falcons project as a sub-.500 team, forcing a pass-heavy script, and there is virtually no target competition beyond Kyle Pitts. Holloway added that big-bodied, contested-catch alphas historically soften the blow of mid-season quarterback changes, citing early-career DeAndre Hopkins and Brandon Marshall as comps. At age 24 and coming off a WR6 campaign, London is being drafted below last year’s finish even though his situation arguably improved.

Sean Koerner said Caleb Johnson is his preferred Round 7 target among the RB2 options because he expects Johnson to inherit the early-down “Najee role” in Pittsburgh. Koerner projects a 15-plus-carry workload that should give Johnson a bankable weekly floor even though Koerner’s own ranks slot him at RB 27 (four spots below the RB 23 ADP). Limited passing-game work caps the ceiling, but Koerner argued that dependable touches are priceless in the middle rounds and make Johnson the safest choice among the remaining backs.
