The Atlanta Falcons are entering an exciting phase, with a roster filled with promising players who could be key to your dynasty team's future. With new leadership and a focus on developing young talent, this team presents several intriguing fantasy assets to consider. In this edition of the "Relevant Player" series, we’ll explore the top three fantasy contributors from the Falcons: Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts. Each player holds significant value for both short-and long-term fantasy success, and understanding their potential could help you make savvy moves for your dynasty squad.

Drake London: The Alpha Wide Receiver

Drake London was selected with the 8th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and his potential has been clear from the start. The USC product has the size (6’4", 219 pounds) and athleticism to be a top target in the Falcons' passing game. Though his rookie season was hampered by quarterback instability, London still showed flashes of why he's considered the future of Atlanta’s receiving corps.

2022 Rookie Season:
London finished his rookie campaign with 72 receptions, 866 yards, and 4 touchdowns, despite the Falcons’ offense being one of the more run-heavy units in the league. He was often the primary target in the passing game, showing a solid rapport with QB Marcus Mariota and later Desmond Ridder. His ability to create separation and make contested catches gave fantasy managers hope that he could emerge as a true WR1 in the coming years.

The 2025 Season:
In 2025, London’s role in the offense should continue to grow as the Falcons improve their passing attack with 2nd year QB Michael Penix under center. While the team’s ground game is likely to remain a focus with the presence of Bijan Robinson, London should still see a significant share of targets. If Penix takes another step forward as the team’s QB, London has the potential to break out into the fantasy elite. With his talent, there’s no reason why he can't be a high-volume receiver, capable of producing WR1 numbers.

Dynasty Value:
London is an excellent long-term asset for dynasty leagues. At just 23 years old, he has plenty of years left to develop into the alpha receiver many predicted he would be. If you’re looking for a young, ascending talent in the wide receiver position, London is a player to target for your dynasty team. In 2024, his final stat line consisted of solid WR1 numbers (100/1,271/9 on 158 targets) and his combination of size, skills, and opportunity makes him an intriguing buy-low option for owners who may not fully appreciate his future potential.

Bijan Robinson: The Future of the Falcons’ Backfield

Bijan Robinson will enter his 3rd year in 2025 with immense hype after being selected 8th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. As one of the most polished running back prospects in recent memory, Robinson immediately became a fantasy darling. His combination of vision, speed, and power gives him the ability to dominate in both the rushing and passing game.

2023 Rookie Season:
Robinson quickly asserted himself as one of the top running backs in fantasy during his rookie year, totaling 1,500+ scrimmage yards and 12+ touchdowns. His ability to break tackles, as well as catch passes out of the backfield, allowed him to contribute in multiple ways. Robinson had no problem commanding touches, even with fellow running back Tyler Allgeier in the mix, and he has the potential to see even more opportunities in the future.

The 2025 Season:
In 2025, Robinson should continue to be the focal point of Atlanta's offense, and the Falcons will likely continue to utilize him in a dual-threat role, both as a workhorse rusher and a weapon in the passing game. The team has improved to the point that they should be a playoff contender, and Robinson's ability to stay healthy and productive will be critical to his fantasy value. If he continues to develop, he should continue to post RB1 numbers, and owners should view him as an elite, long-term option in dynasty formats.

Dynasty Value:
Robinson is one of the best dynasty assets in fantasy football. At just 23 years old, he’s already proving to be one of the most talented backs in the league (304 attempts/1,456 yards & 14 TDs in 2024), and his role as the centerpiece of the Falcons' offense only enhances his long-term value. If you need a franchise running back, Robinson is a player you should target. Bear in mind, however, that he's unlikely to come cheap.

Kyle Pitts: The Athletic Freak at Tight End

Kyle Pitts was drafted 4th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, and his athleticism and size made him one of the most exciting prospects at tight end in recent memory. After an impressive rookie season, expectations were high for Pitts in 2022, but unfortunately, his production was hampered by inconsistent quarterback play and injuries.

2021-2022 Fantasy Production:
In his rookie year, Pitts finished with 1,026 yards and 1 touchdown, making him one of the few tight ends to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. However, in 2022, his numbers dipped due to a combination of factors, including injury and a less-than-ideal passing game from the Falcons. Despite the downturn, Pitts has the raw talent and skills to be a top-tier fantasy asset.

The 2025 Season:
Pitts enters 2025 with high hopes, especially if Michael Penix continues to develop as the Falcons' QB. With his unique combination of size (6'6", 245 pounds) and speed, Pitts can create mismatches against any defender. While the Falcons will still prioritize the run game, Pitts should continue to have a solid role in the passing attack, especially in the red zone. His ceiling remains high, and he has the potential to be a top-five tight end in fantasy if things click.

Dynasty Value:
Pitts remains a top dynasty asset despite some growing pains. His talent is undeniable, and with the Falcons committed to developing him as a primary weapon, he still has the potential to be one of the premier tight ends in the league for years to come. In 2024, his final stat line was 47 receptions on 74 targets for 602 yards & 4 TDs. While those stats seem low for someone of his caliber (and they are), we must remember that expectations for Pitts have been sky-high since he came into the league. To that end, even though that production isn't currently top-5, with the fantasy wasteland that is the TE position if you can acquire Pitts at a reasonable price, he could still be the centerpiece of your tight-end position for the long haul.

The Atlanta Falcons have a bright future, and players like Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts are going to be key contributors for years to come. Whether you're a manager looking to build a dynasty or seeking high-value assets, these three players should be on your radar. With talent, opportunity, and age on their side, they offer a great combination of both short-term and long-term value for fantasy teams.
