  • Career-high 120 yards in Week 18

    London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: London briefly went to the locker in the second quarter with a foot injury, but he returned to the contest and finished with a career-high 120 receiving yards during his final game of the 2022 campaign. The rookie first-round pick finished the season strong and totaled 31 receptions on 48 targets for 428 yards over the final five games, with 333 of those yards coming in four contests with Desmond Ridder at the helm. The Falcons are expected to add more quarterback depth this offseason after the…read more

  • Back in Sunday's game

    London (foot) returned to Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London went to the locker room in the second quarter and was diagnosed with a foot injury, but he'll attempt to gut it out for the rest of Week 18 and build upon his 26-yard catch from the first half.

  • Exits with foot injury

    London left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a foot injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to McElhaney, London went to the locker room shortly before the Falcons deemed him questionable to return. If London is unable to do so, he'll finish Week 18 with one catch (on two targets) for 26 yards.

  • Momentum stalled

    London recorded five receptions on eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: London finished tied for the team lead with eight targets, though that was his lowest total since Week 12. Unsurprisingly, he also recorded his lowest reception and yardage total in that span. In addition to lost volume, London was also limited to working in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 13 yards and three of his five receptions went for single-digit gains. Despite the disappointing output, London entered the game having recorded at least 70 receiving yards in…read more

  • Falls just short of century mark

    London caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: For the second straight game, London showed impressive chemistry with fellow rookie Desmond Ridder, as he led Atlanta in catches and receiving yards. London has posted a 14-166-0 line on 20 targets in two games with Ridder under center, giving the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft upside and momentum heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Solid connection with Ridder

    London caught seven of 11 targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 21-18 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Desmond Ridder targeted London early and often during his NFL debut, as the rookie duo connected seven times for 70 yards. The wideout saw double-digit targets for a second straight game and the third time during the campaign. During those contests, London has totaled 21 receptions for 251 yards and one score. While London could continue leading the team in targets in most remaining games, his overall fantasy production is likely to remain limited while operating in the Falcons' struggling…read more

  • Career-high 95 receiving yards

    London caught six of 12 targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: London was targeted on half of Marcus Mariota's 24 pass attempts and set a career high with 95 receiving yards. All six of the rookie's receptions went for at least 10 yards, including a 37-yard catch in the second quarter. With Kyle Pitts (knee) out for the year, London will look to build off his career-high performance and emerge as Atlanta's top pass-catching option moving forward.

  • Meager production in loss

    London logged two receptions on four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 19-13 defeat to the Commanders.

    Analysis: London finished second on the team in receptions, targets and yards behind Olamide Zaccheaus. The rookie first-round pick continues to be limited in Atlanta's run-heavy offense, but despite Zaccheaus' breakout game, London figures to be the Falcons' go-to pass catcher in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee). London will look to bounce back against the Steelers in Week 13 before Atlanta heads into its Week 14 bye.

  • Two-yard touchdown in win

    London reeled in one of three targets for two yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: London gave the Falcons an early 7-0 lead with a two-yard score to finish the first drive of the game. However, the rookie wideout saw only two targets the rest of the way and failed to secure another catch, marking his second game with one or fewer receptions. Regardless, London has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and has four scores across 11 appearances, though he's failed to top 50 receiving yards in eight straight games after reaching that plateau in each of his first three…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    London brought in five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The rookie found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a tough seven-yard grab between two defenders just past the midway point of the third quarter. London still couldn't clear the 40-yard mark, however, making it four consecutive games for the first-round selection under that modest threshold. London's upside is likely to be capped as long as Marcus Mariota remains in a starting role, but he'll hope to boost his numbers in a Week 11 matchup at home a week from Sunday against the…read more

  • Key fumble in loss

    London brought in three of seven targets for 23 yards and lost a fumble in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: London once again put up modest numbers, but his day was all the more forgettable thanks to the rookie allowing Khalil Mack to strip the ball from him after a five-yard reception at the Chargers' six-yard line early in the third quarter. London has now failed to top 40 receiving yards in six consecutive games, an unfavorable streak he'll aim to snap in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

  • Four receptions in win

    London reeled in four of five targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: London was on the field for 59 offensive snaps, most among Atlanta's wideouts, and he finished second on the team in receptions. However, he turned those catches into a modest 31 yards, with the majority of his production coming on a 17-yard catch late in the fourth quarter. After securing 16 of 25 targets for 214 yards and two scores across the first three games of his career, the rookie has mustered just 14 receptions for 132 yards over his last five appearances. London will look to get back…read more

  • Targeted once in loss

    London recorded one catch on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Marcus Mariota attempted only 13 passes on the day, but London's ability to command only one target is still a concern. London is likely to see his volume tick back up moving forward -- he has at least six targets in five of seven games this season -- though he has now failed to top 40 yards in four consecutive games. However, it is worth noting that he appeared on the injury report with a knee injury early in the week leading up to Sunday's game -- an issue that could have hampered him in this…read more

  • Avoids injury report

    London (knee) wasn't listed on the Falcons' first Week 6 injury report released Wednesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: London was bothered late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay by a knee issue, which caused him to limp to the sideline at one point. He's managed to avoid the injury report entirely just three days later and thus should be ready to go for a Week 6 matchup with the 49ers, who have allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game (148) but just two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through five contests this season.

    London (knee) is present for practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London limped off the field late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay and never had a chance to return after the Buccaneers sealed the game with three first downs. The rookie's 33.9 percent target share is good for the second-best mark in the NFL, but only the Bears have attempted fewer passes than the Falcons. Moreover, London has caught just nine of 20 passes for 106 yards the past three games after starting his career with 160 yards over the first two weeks. He at least…read more

    London (knee) caught four of seven targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, London picked up a knee issue late in the fourth quarter and appeared to limp off the field, but he never went into the injury tent. The rookie first-round pick failed to haul in his first two targets and had a 24-yard reception called back due to a holding call in the first quarter, but he caught all four of his targets in the second half, including two receptions on a touchdown drive that ended with a 19-yard pass to Olamide Zaccheaus.

  • Just two catches on seven targets

    London had two receptions on seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Atlanta's passing game was a non-factor despite the team getting the victory, resulting in poor stat lines for London and the rest of the receiving corps. The Falcons' first-round pick from this year's draft led the team with seven targets, with no other wideout receiving more than two. London had been a reliable starting fantasy option prior to Sunday's dud, so fantasy managers should remain confident heading into a matchup against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

  • Catches go-ahead TD in win

    London caught three of six targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: London failed to haul in any of his three first-quarter targets, but he got on the board with a 30-yard gain to start the second quarter. He wasn't targeted again until he secured a 14-yard, go-ahead touchdown at the end of the third quarter. The rookie first-round pick garnered a secondary role to Kyle Pitts, who led the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards after a quiet start to the season. However, London still garnered a sizable role and continues to exceed expectations to start…read more

  • Making strong impression

    London recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: London dominated targets among the Atlanta pass catchers, as Mariota recorded only 26 pass attempts for the game. London showed the ability to get open at various depths of target, highlighted by a four-yard touchdown catch and receptions that went for gains of 22 and 19 yards. London has topped 70 receiving yards in each of his first two games in the NFL and appears to have emerged as Marcus Mariota's top target in Atlanta.

  • Modest production in NFL debut

    London caught five of seven targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 27-26 defeat against the Saints.

    Analysis: London started slow by failing to haul in his only target in the first quarter, but he caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in the second quarter, including a 31-yard reception that set up a last-second field goal from Younghoe Koo. The rookie first-round pick was certainly Marcus Mariota's favorite target in the season opener, leading the team in receptions, targets and yards. He'll look to build off his solid start against the Rams in Week 2.

    Analysis: Though the rookie first-round pick missed the Falcons' final two preseason games due to the knee injury and was limited in practice throughout the week, he'll be ready to take the field Sunday for his NFL debut. Despite missing ample time during his first camp with Atlanta, London enters the season listed atop the depth chart at receiver and is expected to fill a prominent role in a passing attack helmed by quarterback Marcus Mariota.

  • On pace to make debut Sunday

    London (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is in line to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: London picked up a knee injury in the Falcons' exhibition opener and was unable to practice again until Week 1 prep. The rookie first-round pick thus was limited in all three sessions and entered the weekend with a designation. Assuming he's deemed active roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, London will join second-year tight end Kyle Pitts as quarterback Marcus Mariota's top two receiving threats.

    London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tory McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London has been in limbo since suffering a knee injury in Atlanta's preseason opener, missing the rest of exhibition season and only returning to practice this week. Coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that the Falcons had a goal to get London through Week 1 prep before putting him through a workout Saturday, at which point the team would "make a call" on his availability. As a result, clarity on London's status could be known well ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: London continues to work himself back from a knee injury that he sustained in preseason Week 1, which kept him sidelined for the rest of the exhibition slate and off the practice field until Monday. With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt, he still has work to do in order to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Still, he didn't play again during exhibition season and only returned to the practice field Monday.

    London (knee) is listed as the No. 1 wideout on the Falcons' unofficial depth chart ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Notably, London was listed as a reserve on the Falcons' first unofficial depth chart at the start of training camp, but he's unsurprisingly moved to the top of the heap heading into Week 1. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft left the team's preseason opener with a knee injury after catching his lone target for 24 yards. He was sidelined for the remainder of the exhibition slate but returned to practice Monday. London's return to practice in addition to his being listed as a starter on…read more

    Analysis: The Falcons haven't said much about London's injury apart from head coach Arthur Smith's statement Aug. 14, when he noted the rookie wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. London suffered the injury in the team's preseason opener Aug. 12, and he's now absent from practice for a third straight week as the calendar turns to September.

    Analysis: London didn't practice all week, so it's hardly a surprise to see the prized rookie not playing in an exhibition contest. The No. 8 overall selection in the 2022 Draft will have 15 days in order to get right ahead of the Falcons' Sept. 11 Week 1 opener against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site, coach Arthur Smith noted last week that the right knee injury London sustained in the team's preseason opener was not a "long-term" concern. However, with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft still not practicing at this stage, it appears as though London's next chance to see game action won't arrive until the start of the upcoming regular season.

    London (knee) isn't practicing Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London took his first target for a 24-yard gain during Atlanta's preseason opener but suffered a knee injury in the process. Coach Arthur Smith said he isn't worried about it being a long-term issue, but London likely will miss some practice time and at least one preseason game. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft faces soft competition for snaps and targets, giving him a shot to enter the year as Atlanta's No. 1 wide receiver even if he doesn't practice much the next couple weeks.

  • Knee injury downplayed

    Coach Arthur Smith noted Sunday that the knee injury London suffered during Friday's preseason game against the Lions isn't something the Falcons are "concerned about long term," Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: That said, it doesn't look like the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft will be back at practice this coming week. Per Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site, whether London sees any preseason action is something that will be assessed week-to-week, but on the plus side the wideout's Week 1 status doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

  • Knee injury likely not serious

    The knee injury that London suffered during Friday's preseason victory at Detroit isn't believed to be a serious one, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: London's pro debut included a 24-yard catch and run, followed by a stay in the medical tent before the Falcons ruled him out of the contest. The decision appears to be one of precaution with his long-term health in mind, but the specific nature of the injury won't be known until Saturday, per coach Arthur Smith via Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site.

  • Clarification on injury to come

    Coach Arthur Smith didn't provide an update on London's (knee) health after Friday's preseason win at Detroit, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his early exit, London recorded a 24-yard catch and run, looking the part of a first-round pick. However, the rookie wide receiver had his right leg examined in the blue medical tent and eventually was ruled out with a knee injury. Bridget Condon of NFL Network later reported London was walking about the sideline and didn't seem to be dealing with anything too severe. Afterward, Smith relayed that the Falcons will have a better idea about London's injury Saturday, likely after he goes…read more

  • Hurts knee Friday

    Though London was forced out of Friday's preseason game against the Lions with a knee injury, NFL Network's Bridget Condon noted that the rookie wideout was subsequently spotted walking around on the sideline.

    Analysis: Per Condon, "whatever the issues is, it doesn't appear to be too serious." Though that's an encouraging initial report, London's status is nonetheless worth monitoring in the coming days. Prior to his first-quarter exit from the contest, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft caught his lone target for 24 yards.

  • Key role expected

    London is listed toward the bottom of the Falcons' unofficial posted depth chart, but Scott Bair of the team's official site notes that's an approach coach Arthur Smith typically takes with rookies at this stage of the preseason.

    Analysis: With that in mind, Bair notes that London -- who the Falcons took eighth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft -- typically works with the team's first unit during training camp practices, and has held his own against Atlanta's top cornerbacks. Bair adds that "it's fair to expect London will play a ton once the regular season begins, as a top receiver worthy of being listed first at his position." Also in the mix for wideout targets early on are the likes of Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel…read more

  • Dominating start to training camp

    London (ankle) made several highlight-worthy plays during Atlanta's training camp practice Saturday, Deen Worley of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London broke his foot in October last year, which sidelined him for the remainder of his final campaign at USC. However, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft hasn't appeared limited at all during his offseason work with the Falcons. At 6-foot-4, London has the frame to be an elite red-zone threat, but his route running makes him a potential No. 1 WR as a rookie. While the 22-year-old holds all the talent in the world, his fantasy production will be directly correlated to how well Marcus…read more
