Factoid: Wide receivers in poor passing games
In my Drake London story yesterday, a reader asked how good even a No. 1 wide receiver in a lesser passing game might be. Although we can't be certain, we can say with some degree of confidence that the Falcons are one of those teams that will have a lesser passing game. more »

Around the NFL: Drake London
I've come around to the idea of selecting Drake London this year. There was a point where I wanted nothing to do with the Atlanta passing game, which almost definitely will take a backseat to all the running this team will do. But I think London will be busy anyway. more »

Factoid: Sophomore Slump? (Wide receivers)
Yesterday I ran an item discussing the likelihood of a "sophomore slump" when it came to rookie running backs. I said I'd look at the history for wide receivers, as well, and here's that information. more »

QB Ridder expects Falcons offense to be “explosive” in 2023
Atlanta Falcons quarterback DESMOND RIDDER said this week that his supporting cast will make his job “a lot easier” this season, adding that he thinks the offense is “gonna be pretty… More explosive” in 2023. With a young core of wide receiver DRAKE LONDON, tight end KYLE PITTS, and running backs BIJAN ROBINSON and TYLER ALLGEIER, Ridder appears to have no shortage of talent at his disposal. If the Falcons offense proves to be what Ridder thinks it can be, the Falcons could have a good shot at rising to the top of a wide open division. Less

Factoid: Chris Olave
I am interested in Chris Olave, so it caught my eye last week when New Orleans coach Dennis Allen said he *thinks* Michael Thomas will be healthy for training camp. If Thomas is or isn’t playing, that will affect how often the Saints are going to their other Ohio State receiver. more »

Falcons young core finishes strong
While the Atlanta Falcons will sit out the 2022 NFL playoffs, the team looks poised for greater things moving forward in both fantasy football and the real version. Rookie quarterback DESMOND… More RIDDER threw his first 2 NFL touchdown passes in Sunday’s season finale while fellow rookie TYLER ALLGEIER finished the season with the most rushing yards by a rookie running back in franchise history. Wide receiver DRAKE LONDON also broke KYLE PITTS’ record for most receptions by a rookie. Less

Factoid: Rookie receivers
The rookie receivers didn’t light up the boxscores in the preseason, but that’s OK. That’s just how it goes nowadays. And if form holds, probably a couple of these first-year receivers are going to be very good. more »

Factoid: Treylon Burks
What can be expected from Treylon Burks (and other first-round rookie wideouts)? Six were selected in the top 20 picks back in April, and most joined teams where there's the potential to be early starters. Actually putting up strong numbers right away in fantasy leagues, though, is a hit-or-miss kind of deal. more »

Falcons coach providing fantasy clues?
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver DRAKE LONDON has been sidelined by a knee injury for a couple of weeks while fantasy owners monitor his status for the season opener against the… More New Orleans Saints on September 11th. Head coach Arthur Smith said this week that he was not going to make a prediction about London’s status for Week #1, but he did say that he feels “good about where he’s at” when talking about his rookie wideout.

Rookie drafts are occurring in some dynasty leagues this month (if they haven't already happened), and I expect the first round will be wide receiver-heavy in most of them. That was the case in the actual NFL Draft, with four selected in the top 12 picks. I wondered how often those early selection pan out in the NFL -- what are the odds of them busting? more »
