Ranked WR9 against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Drake London has been exceptional with Michael Penix Jr.: averages 16.6 half-PPR points in 17 games since 2024 versus 9.7 in 15 games without him—nearly doubled production based on Penix's availability. Kyler Gordon expects London to pile up 10 targets despite Tampa Bay's defensive strength (limited Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott to QB19, QB19, and QB21 respectively, with five sacks in each of last two games). Gordon cites weak linebacker play and likely absence of safety Antoine Winfield; recommends copying the Falcons' game plan from the previous week (2.1-second ball release without play action) to neutralize Tampa Bay's pass rush. London is targeted 40% of the time when Penix is blitzed, with 3.63 yards per route run against blitzes, making him the primary hot route option.

Elite WR1 with Michael Pennix since his return, ranking behind only JSN in yards per game at 107.2; 40% first-read target share. Buccaneers play single-high coverage at fourth-highest rate in league; London averages 4+ yards per route run against single-high (second-best in league) but only about half that against two-high. Favorable schematic spot despite pass-funnel defense potentially hurting other Falcons receivers.

London has 79.5 projected receiving yards in Week 8 at Tampa Bay. The Drake London on/off splits with Michael Penix Jr. dating back to 2024 are staggering. This month, London is the WR16 on WR9 usage and WR9 targets. The Falcons are tinkering with their offense under HC Kevin Stefanski to minimize Penix's lack of mobility and injury risk, leading to a career-low 2.1 seconds to throw on non-play action attempts. London was peppered underneath, ultimately scoring a TD out of empty in the red zone. More quick passes suit London's skills, and he already has a 31% target share this month, making him a no-doubt fantasy WR1. Tampa Bay ranks 25th in half PPR points allowed to wideouts at 23.8 per game and has shown vulnerability against primary options recently (George Pickens: 9 catches, 130 yards, TD in Week 5; DK Metcalf: 11 receptions, 93 yards in Week 6). Atlanta is listed as 2.5-point road underdogs with an implied team total of 22.0 points (15th).

Star wide receiver with multiple touchdown receptions and key role in offensive execution; caught passes on early downs for solid gains (including slants and choice routes), produced on screens, and scored on a two-vertical route concept where he found space over the top in the end zone. London earned his first touchdown of the season on a play where Penix Jr. looked off Pitts to create space, demonstrating the quarterback's growing pocket awareness and London's ability to exploit mismatches downfield.

London has 1,822 yards and 10 touchdowns in 19 games with Michael Penix at quarterback, demonstrating significant production despite Penix being good but by no means great. The source notes London would be accruing similarly impressive stats to Mike Evans if the Atlanta Falcons had more competent quarterback play, as he has been hampered by poor QB play from Desmond Ridder, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, Taylor Heinicke, and Cooper Rush since joining the NFL in 2022.

Ranked WR8 for Week 8 at TB. Finally found the end zone for the first time this season during the Falcons' Week 7 win over the 49ers and is now sitting pretty as WR16 in PPR points per game (15.4) despite two rough weeks with Cooper Rush under center. Fantasy managers should continue to start London even if there's a fire, though the matchup against Tampa Bay is tougher than usual with Todd Bowles' defense ranking second in EPA allowed per dropback behind only the Vikings.

London is downgraded for Week 8 at Buccaneers despite strong production with QB Michael Penix (15.5 PPG in five games, 32-536-1 receiving, 47 targets; 98% route rate, 33% target share, 47% air yard share, 86 Utilization Score) because the Bucs are No. 2 in smallest fantasy boost allowed to WRs (-4.9) and this is their fifth home game in seven weeks. Falcons are No. 17 in implied team total (21.75). Divisional road dogs tend to be sharp (752-641-37 ATS, 4.8% ROI), but HC Kevin Stefanski has been terrible on the road throughout his career (21-33 ATS, -25.0% ROI). Bucs could be without FS Antoine Winfield (ribs).

JJ McCarthy ranks London at #14, averaging 15 PPG. London has run bad on touchdowns recently and certainly has the ability to run very good on touchdowns for the rest of the season. McCarthy admits difficulty respecting slower players; London never turns deep catches into long touchdowns because he either gets caught from behind or ends up in front of the defender between him and the end zone. McCarthy is concerned the Atlanta Falcons offense is bottom-half of the league, limiting London's ceiling.
