2023 Fantasy Outlook
London might not go ahead of Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson if there were a 2022 redraft, but the eighth overall pick showed plenty of signs of his bright future amidst an uneven rookie season. The USC product opened with 214 yards and two TDs his first three weeks before settling into a prolonged slump in an extremely run-heavy offense. London then picked it back up in December to average 6.2 catches and 85.6 yards over his final five games while primarily catching passes from fellow rookie Desmond Ridder, who reportedly will enter 2023 as the starter ahead of offseason addition Taylor Heinicke. Coach Arthur Smith still figures to emphasize the run first and foremost, especially after drafting Bijan Robinson eighth overall this spring, but London saw a massive 29.3 percent target share last season (117 of 400 team targets) and could own a similar portion of the passing game with only TE Kyle Pitts representing serious competition. Also consider that London turns 22 in July, making him the same age as a lot of rookies but with an 866-yard NFL season to his name already. Read Past Outlooks

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 Marcus Mariota experiment failed, but regardless of who's under center, London is expected to be Atlanta's top wideout next year.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Isn't it convenient when the team most in need of a wide receiver is the first to pick one in the
draft? So it went for London, a three-year starter at USC who averaged 43.6 yards per game as
a true freshman, 83.7 as a sophomore and 135.5 as a junior. He went eighth overall to Atlanta,
despite missing the final four games last year - plus predraft workouts - after fracturing his
ankle in October. It may have been a blessing in disguise, considering the 40-yard dash and
other combine drills were never likely to be the strength of London's prospect profile. What he
does bring to the table is production, size (6-4, 219) and youth (he turned 22 in July), and he
landed with a team where the other candidates for WR snaps are an uninspired mix of
journeymen and undrafted guys. The Falcons do have last year's first-rounder, Kyle Pitts, the 21-
year-old tight end who eclipsed 1,000 yards as a rookie. They're seemingly counting on London
to have a similar immediate impact, though even the success of Pitts' debut campaign illustrates
a big part of the downside, as the young tight end scored only one TD on 68 catches. The
Atlanta offense isn't likely to get much better with Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder
replacing Matt Ryan at QB, unless both Pitts and London prove to be bonafide, ready-made
superstars.
