Drake London Week 2 Outlook - Falcons at Eagles

My worry about London's Week 1 outlook came to fruition. He was shadowed by Joey Porter Jr. on 65% of his routes and held to one reception for seven yards in his coverage. Overall, he had an 11.5% target share, a 17.1% air-yard share, 0.65 YPRR, and an 11.8% first-read share. Cousins was averse to driving the ball in Week 1, as only Darnell Mooney had an aDOT higher than 10.0. Among 78 receivers last week, London finished with the second-lowest separation score and route win rate. I hope London bounces back this week, but tread carefully with this passing attack. In Week 1, Philly utilized single high at the sixth-highest rate. Last year, among 84 qual wide receivers, London ranked 60th in separation score and 64th in route win rate against single high. London will run about 73% of his routes against Darius Slay (2023: 64.3% catch rate and 84.3 passer rating) and Quinyon Mitchell (55.6% catch rate and 88.2 passer rating) in Week 2.
