News: 1 day agoLondon secured five of eight targets for 55 yards in the Falcons' 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Spin: On a day when the host Panthers delivered a shocking thumping to the Falcons, London managed to cobble together a serviceable, albeit uninspiring, fantasy day. The talented wideout led Atlanta in both receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets, and the yardage tally tied London's season high. While Michael Penix took a step back Sunday, London will aim to help the second-year signal-caller atone during a Week 4 home matchup against a Commanders defense that's been prone to allowing chunk plays through the air early this season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: London is entering his fourth NFL season having handled an enormous 27% of the targets and 35% of the air yards in Atlanta during his first three campaigns. London ranked eighth or better among receivers in targets, receptions, yards, TDs, end zone targets and fantasy points last season, but his production was very boom/bust. The only two games in which he reached 20 fantasy points were 33-plus-point efforts (and one was in Week 18). London's ceiling and consistency are impacted by Atlanta's run-heavy scheme, but his hefty share of the targets should be enough to allow borderline-WR1 numbers, especially if Michael Penix Jr. makes a Year 2 leap.
