2025 Fantasy Outlook
London's third-year breakout came to fruition, but not because Kirk Cousins gave the Falcons strong QB play for the first time since Matt Ryan's prime. Instead, London stayed afloat with frequent touchdowns and a lot of games in the range of 50-70 yards, despite Cousins' struggles. The increase in Atlanta's passing volume (relative to 2022-23) was much more pronounced than the improvement in efficiency. It was after Cousins' benching that London truly kicked into gear, catching 22 passes for 352 yards and two TDs from eighth overall pick Michael Penix over the final three games. An eighth overall pick himself, London is actually 14 months younger than Penix, having been one of the youngest players in the 2022 draft class (and now entering his age-24 season). London hasn't shown any sign of becoming a deep threat, but he has excellent hands (eight career drops) and knows how to use his huge frame to box out defenders or create favorable angles against zone defenses. It's a skill set that's unlikely to translate to top-five status at his position in real life, but it might allow for top-five production in PPR formats if he ends up in the right scheme with the right QB. The early returns on that were promising from Penix and Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, although Penix's three-game sample at the end of last season didn't feature much success throwing to anyone besides London.

Another limited session
London (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Since injuring his shoulder late in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, London has operated with a cap on his practice reps. The same can be said for fellow WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder), leaving the pair just one more chance to get back to full participation Friday before the team potentially hands them designations ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota. For what it's worth, coach Raheem Morris told McElhaney on Wednesday that he expects London to play, but "that's not saying he is."

London mostly looked the part of an eighth overall pick in his first two NFL seasons, mixing flashes of brilliance with stretches of poor production in a run-heavy Atlanta offense that had some of the worst QB play in the league. He enters Year 3 as one of the most obvious candidates for a big breakout, after the Falcons fired coach Arthur Smith and signed 35-year-old QB Kirk Cousins to a four-year contract. London did take small steps backward between Year 1 and 2 in terms of target share (29.1 percent to 23.1) and per-route production (2.04 to 1.90), but with his catch rate staying right around 62 percent and his yards per catch rising from 12.0 to 13.1. Forty-three WRs ran more routes than his 493 last year, so volume growth alone would be enough to push him well over 1,000 yards. There's also potential for efficiency improvement, of course, with London turning 23 this summer and finally paired with a quality QB. New offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is a bit of an unknown given that he's never called plays before, but he at least figures to favor the passing game and three-wide formations far more than Smith ever did, having spent the past five years under Sean McVay in Los Angeles. London's stiffest target competition comes from other positions, with TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson also sure to be big parts of the offense, while free-agent addition Darnell Mooney is the Falcons' only other WR that has any track record of earning significant targets.
