WATCH: Falcons' Drake London Scores 1st TD of Season vs. Packers
Drake London fantasy owners, you no longer need to worry.
London went without a catch in last week's opener against the Carolina Panthers, but he's got a team-high four catches for 39 yards and a touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons against the Green Bay Packers today.
London scored a touchdown with just 12 seconds left in the half. Here's a look at the play ...
With an average draft position that had fantasy managers selecting him in the mid-sixth round, it's best that anyone who invested a pick on London at least waits for some opportunities to find him rather than giving up on him after a horrendous Week 1 start. But Falcons coach Arthur Smith doesn't care about those annoyed fantasy football fans ... he cares solely about winning.
"Let the fantasy guys worry about that," Smith said. "We've got to clean some things up. We can all be better in our spacing, and targets is the most misunderstood thing in the National Football League. All we care about is 1-0. We have a lot of work – and that has to improve because it's not going to sustain every week. Every week is its own entity. We don't care about the stats. We care about winning.”
It appears those who didn't give up on him after his empty Week 1 are reaping the benefits today after a pretty strong first half from last year's No. 8 overall pick out of USC.
