Drake London
WR - Atlanta Falcons
Availability
London is the WR12 in fantasy points per game, ranking second among wide receivers in red zone targets. He has finished as a WR2 or higher in 60% of his games this season. London has a 24.2% target share, a 32.9% air-yard share, 2.19 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share. The reason London makes the Primer this week is because of...yep, you guessed it. Patrick Surtain. Surtain will be glued to London throughout the entire game. We saw against the Steelers that London didn't handle shadow coverage from Joey Porter Jr. well, and I worry this could be a similar situation. Surtain has followed top receivers on at least 60.4% of their routes five times this season. None of those receivers finished with more than 30 receiving yards in his primary coverage (zero touchdowns). In many cases, you're playing London this week, but don't expect a big game, and he likely really needs a touchdown to pay off this week. Denver has kept receivers in check with the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game allowed.
