STM Take

London's three-year STTM climb (#54 → #18 → #9) is the cleanest year-over-year trajectory among 2022 first-round WR picks. The 2025 game log shows the boom-bust profile of a contested-catch X-receiver: 38.8 PPR Week 9, 1.4 PPR Week 17. The Penix-led offense finally gave him the target share his pre-draft tape promised.

London grew up in an interracial family in Moorpark, California, played football and basketball at Moorpark High, and won 2021 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year at USC. Atlanta took him eighth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. Career line is 309 catches for 3,961 yards and 22 TDs across four seasons, with an STTM climb from #54 in 2023 to #18 in 2024 to #9 tier 2 in 2025.

Strengths

  • Three-year climb from STTM #54 to #9; the developmental arc is finally connecting at age 24.
  • 6'4" 215 frame with a 24-PPR Week 10 and 38.8 PPR Week 9 shows the matchup-winning ceiling lives.

Concerns

  • Atlanta is now Michael Penix Jr.'s offense; the tier-8 rookie QB rank in 2025 caps the team-level upside.
  • Recent game log shows a 1.4 PPR Week 17; the boom-bust pattern is real and pace-of-play dependent.

What to watch: Whether Penix's year-two passing line jumps to tier-5 or better; London's volume scales with the QB rank.
