Draft note

by John Paulsen

Kirk Cousins is coming off a torn Achilles but should be ready to go Week 1 for the Falcons. He will certainly breathe life into a suspect Atlanta passing game hamstrung by Desmond Ridder and Arthur Smith's run-heavy tendencies. The franchise hired Zac Robinson away from the Rams to run the offense. He was the pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the last two years. With Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts to throw to, Cousins is set up for success and should be able to continue his low-end QB1 ways.

Morris: 'We didn't get the ball to Drake London enough'

Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London darted over the middle, his arms away from his body, his hands corralling a seven-yard reception from quarterback Kirk Cousins early in the second quarter in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The play marked London's third target and second catch of the game. Over the final 42 minutes Sunday, it proved to be his last of each.

"We didn't get the ball to Drake enough," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after the game.

Fantasy Impact:

London was shadowed by Steeler CB Joey Porter Jr. and QB Kirk Cousins struggles both factored into London collecting just two passes. While it doesn't help owners now, the good news is things like this can often get corrected the following week, so the hope is the Falcons design some plays early on for London which hopefully gets the entire offense going.

ATL QB Kirk Cousins - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Kirk Cousins sits somewhere in "Streaming QB" purgatory in typical redraft leagues, but remains a good target in 2QB/Superflex formats. Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson have the talent to elevate their quarterback's numbers, and a new OC in Atlanta will do wonders for the team's pass-rush ratio. Cousins has the ceiling for four-touchdown games, but Week 1 doesn't present him with that opportunity.
