Fantasy Life Articles on Drake London
From the article
He had just four targets, and he caught just two passes for 29 yards. His 18% target share was tied with Jahan Dotson, while his Utilization Score was a paltry 42. There will be better days ahead for London. Michael Penix Jr. will eventually be at the helm, and London has historically feasted with Penix under center. But until that happens, it's hard to start London with any degree of confidence.
STACKED’s take
London's 18% target share and 42 utilization score make him hard to start until Penix arrives.
London struggled in Week 1 with just four targets, two catches for 29 yards, and an 18% target share (tied with Jahan Dotson) despite a paltry 42 Utilization Score. The Atlanta offense was lifeless with Cooper Rush at quarterback; outside of Bijan Robinson (83 rushing yards, 90 of Rush's 143 passing yards), the unit was completely ineffective. While better days are ahead when Michael Penix Jr. takes over—London has historically feasted with Penix under center—it's hard to start London with confidence until that happens. Projections have him at WR19 (10.6 points), which might be generous. Matt LaMarca cautions against becoming too attached to draft priors and suggests benching London despite being drafted in the second or third round.
