And I don’t know if I’ve ever heard your take on Drake London, but man, to get a 24 year old receiver, a guy who’s, you know, coming off this breakout year who before last year had terrible quarterback play and then last year gets decent quarterback play and explodes, right, has a ton of volume, a ton of production, you know, this season, finished 5th among PPR fantasy wide receivers.<\/p>\n

He’s behind only Chase, Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Byron Thomas.<\/p>\n

Like, what a year for him.<\/p>\n

He was 6th in targets per game on the year, and when they turned to Michael Penix at the end of the season for those last 3 games, he was actually tied.<\/p>\n

London was tied for the number one fantasy wideout during those 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

He was averaging 23.1 PPR fantasy points per game.<\/p>\n

So I think, and again, this is not guaranteed to happen, this is not even likely.<\/p>\n

It is a long shot, but I think he’s a guy that people aren’t talking enough about as somebody that could potentially push for that number one receiver spot overall.<\/p>\n

Like this guy could lead the league in targets this year.<\/p>\n

That is not a crazy thing to say in my mind.<\/p>\n

He might have had like the quietest near 1300 yard season in NFL history.<\/p>\n

Michael Penix is, what, like the I don’t know, 18th best quarterback in the league, like, yeah, he could easily be a consensus first round startup pick in Drake London, frankly, like, I don’t know, maybe he should already be there.<\/p>\n

I think the fact that he got him, or that he went here in the, what, like, yeah, you got him in the late 2nd round.<\/p>\n

That’s great value because this is where I think people jump the shark with the age stuff.<\/p>\n

Like, I think basically on most dynasty rankings, Drake London is behind neighbors who went in the first round here.<\/p>\n

He’s behind Brian Thomas Jr. Who did go in the 2nd round, and I’m very optimistic on I, he’s gonna come up and that could be a 1st round pick next year.<\/p>\n

But he’s only 2 years older than Drake London than these guys.<\/p>\n

It’s not as if he’s some like, all right, well, he’s already cooked.<\/p>\n

And there’s every reason to think Drake London could be just as productive as those guys for the next three or so years.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, I love your inclusion of him here.<\/p>\n

He’s a great football player, somebody I’ve been super high on as a very underrated, like separator, basically since he came into the league out of USC, the guy is awesome and I love the situation for him this year.<\/p>\n
