Drake London fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Drake London for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End WR3 Or Low-End WR2
ANALYSIS: Drake London is in a prime position in 2024 to raise his fantasy stock from good to great. London has always been a solid fantasy wide receiver; however, he has suffered from weak and inconsistent quarterback play in the past. Now, with Kirk Cousins at the helm, he should see better throws and more consistent targets.
London is coming off a Week 2 matchup where he was targeted seven times, accumulated six receptions for 54 yards, and even scored a game-winning touchdown. These numbers were good enough for 17.4 fantasy points (PPR) and an overall WR19 finish.

Week 3 brings an extraordinarily favorable matchup for London, as the Atlanta Falcons are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs currently rank as the second-worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing 256.5 passing yards per game. This bodes well for the Cousins/London duo, as there is potential for them to go off for a high volume of receptions and passing/receiving yards.
As Cousins and the new Falcons offense continue to build chemistry and start to play better, London’s weekly fantasy value will keep going up. Right now, he should be started as your WR3 or even in a flex spot, but he could secure a more prominent role on your roster come midseason. Still, London is already a must-start option in all but the shallowest leagues.
