Drake London is gearing up for his third season with the Atlanta Falcons, and many fans are hopeful that he will have a breakout year. He is currently a significant liability at BetMGM for leading the NFL in receiving yards, with 28.3% of the betting handle placed on him. At +1800 odds in the “Most Regular Season Receiving Yards” market, London is a popular choice among bettors.
London was the eighth overall pick in the 2022 draft and has shown flashes of brilliance in his first two seasons with the Falcons. Despite facing challenges with quarterbacks Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke, London managed to catch 69 passes for 905 yards last season. With the recent signing of experienced QB Kirk Cousins, fans are hopeful that London’s production will soar. For reference, in 2022, Justin Jefferson led the league in receiving yards (1,809) with Cousins as his quarterback.

In addition to London potentially benefiting from a new QB, bettors are also considering the impact of a revamped play-calling strategy. The Falcons have brought in Zac Robinson from the Rams as their new offensive coordinator. Last season, under Robinson’s guidance, WR Puka Nacua amassed 1,486 receiving yards, while Cooper Kupp recorded 737 yards in just 12 games.
