Where are we at with Drake London? Statistically he’s cooled down a lot… top-12 dynasty WR?

[lukkynumber13]

Where would you rank London in your dynasty WRs? Especially compared to other young guys like Waddle, Higgins, Pittman, Lamb, DJM?

What would you pay for him in terms of 23 pick value? Is he worth an early-mid 23 First? Around the 1.05-1.06 range

[YouMightDieTryin]

He's shown he can ball at the highest level. So he proved me wrong there. But I'm not ponying up a mid 1st for him when I already know his situation. It may get better, but it may not (with them winning for some reason). So a late mid/late 1st is what I'd like to pay for him, but I don't think most people bite on it.

[frerichs5]

This would be my order of the names listed. The top three I could be convinced in any order probably. If I had London I wouldn’t trade him away for less than an early-mid 1st.

Lamb
Waddle
Higgins


London
Pittman

DJM

I agree with this, there might be a Higgins 1.5 tier before tier 2 London and Pittman but that’s another story.

[dustyroads]

Not for me. I'd have a hard time putting him inside the top 18 at this point. And I wouldn't trade any 2022 1st for him. I also wasn't nearly as high as others on him coming out though. His fair value is probably a late 1st (8-12), I just personally wouldn't do that.

[Cameron Giles]

Same conversation as Pitts. Talented WR who's shown the necessary flashes, who's being hurt by a conservative, low volume offense.

I'd personally have no problem buying for his original price last summer, even better if I can buy lower than that. I think he's looked great (when they're actually getting him the ball) and I don't expect the Falcons offense to be this conservative for the forseeable future.

I agree with the tiers as well. But I’d add DJM to tier 2 if there is an upgrade at QB.

I agree the talent is there and he's a buy if his value is deflated. And that we are saying the same thing about Pitts.

However, if his situation doesn't change, his value could just keep falling. Probably worth the gamble on this situation getting better. Just saying, it may not turn around anytime soon.

[grandmabetty]

Would be nice it Atlanta starting losing more games. The fact that they are in contention in their division isn't helping those hopeful for change.

I bought 3 weeks ago in SF for Rodgers, Tim Patrick, Kyren Williams, a late 2023 2nd and late 2023 3rd

[MacDaddy123]

I have three 2023 1sts, early, mid and late.
I will have London on my mind on the mid to late pick depending on who is available on the board at the time of the draft.
I would definitely do a late 1st for him, have to think about the mid 1st.

[Mjvb5]

Value wise, mid first for me. Behind young, stroud, bijan, Gibbs right now for me after that I'd need to see combine, draft capital and landing spot. He's a similar or better prospect than any wr in this class and every metric outside raw counting stats on him says he belongs so I can't really justify swapping him for say Addison or boutte as things stand. Probably around wr 12-14 for me as things stand overall

Probably about right but closer to 1.08 or later for me. The guys you named but then there will be a couple similar talents but in way better situations that will demand more market value if nothing else.

[Ice]

I would pass on him. Probably value him as a late first but not a player I would target.

Not the burst or variable speed I like to see in legit Wr 1 upside players.

He does have great length which helps him.

[Jigga94]

I think Ridder is just what he needs. I don't think he's going to be the next fantasy stud QB, but he does like his big alpha targets (Pierce in college). As long as they pass more than 10 times a game, London should see a good uptick.

[Mike11]

I think there’s a tier 1 of Olave and Wilson who are neck and neck and both top 10 for WR.

I think there are people who are unwilling to admit Wilson and Olave are ahead of London based on pre draft evaluations and won’t move him down yet which means buying him is hard. People who paid 1.02-1.04 for him aren’t going to want out yet so you’re likely buying at similar value but has a decent amount of situational uncertainty still similar to a 2023 rookie. We know he can play but I don’t know if his ceiling will ever be top 12 and time will tell.
