Our read
Written Oct 17, from his facts through last season
The touchdowns are the only thing missing. Through five weeks of 2026 London has caught 27 of 36 targets for 488 yards and scored nothing, and he sits at 0% of Atlanta's 35 red-zone carries and targets in his games, WR62 among 64 qualifiers. That is what's holding a 15.2-point pace under the 17.9 a game our preseason number set for him. Players in this spot don't usually stay scoreless this deep into a season when the downfield role is this strong, and his is strong: 44% of the team's air yards in his games, sixth among 64 receivers with 20 or more carries and targets, and 3.3 yards of average separation on his 37 tracked targets, eighth among 57.
The week 3 spike of 28.4 shows the ceiling is still there, and weeks 4 and 5 of 2026, 14.6 and 18.8, show the targets are steady even without the scores. Underneath it all sits last year's profile: 30.4% of Atlanta's targets in 2025, fifth among 239, on a 90.2% snap share, and among receivers in that spot points a game rose 5.8 the following season on average. The one number that never caught up was scoring, 15 red-zone touches in 2025 but only a 13.4% share of his own touches inside the red zone, WR86. The new staff, Kevin Stefanski calling with Tommy Rees running the offense, hasn't solved that yet.
We would hold him. The 268 points we set before the season were never built on zero touchdowns through five weeks, and if the end-zone looks still haven't arrived when Atlanta sits him for the bye, then the worry is real and you can act on it. Right now this is a volume profile scoring like a possession receiver, and that gap tends to close.
