Drake London Will Be Team's Top Receiving Target
Drake London isn't expected to put up the kind of numbers that Justin Jefferson did in his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings, but the first-rounder easily will be the top target at receiver for Atlanta in 2022. However, the Falcons still have tight end Kyle Pitts, who led the team with 1,026 receiving yards in 2021, and he'll get plenty more this year. Head coach Arthur Smith really loves to run the ball, too, and he should be able to do so more effectively this season. London is currently dealing with a knee injury, but he's expected to be ready for Week 1. With quarterback Marcus Mariota throwing him passes to begin the year, the 21-year-old pass-catcher should be viewed ideally as a high-end WR4 with upside.
