The Falcons started the season with a clear top three wide receivers.

Now, it's Drake London and everyone else. London has been the clear top receiver for Atlanta this season. Over the first four weeks, London played at least 85% of snaps in 11, 12 and 13 personnel, with a 91. 2% snap rate before garbage time. Jahan Dotson played at least 77% of snaps in 11 and 12 personnel as the team's clear second wide receiver, while Olamide Zaccheaus played more than two-thirds of 11 personnel snaps. Chris Blair and Zachariah Branch have served as the backups. The rotation in 12 and 13 personnel remained the same this week, but in 11 personnel, it was much closer to a 50-50 split across the board between Dotson, Zaccheaus, Blair and Branch. None of Atlanta's wide receivers outside of London have had fantasy value this season, but there was some hope Dotson could emerge given his playing time. If the Falcons continue using this kind of rotation, it would effectively shut the door on Dotson's fantasy value for the rest of the season.

The Falcons have largely succeeded in their mission to ease the burden from Penix’s shoulders, and therein rests their offense’s superpower....Stefanski credited offensive coordinator Tommy Rees for the game plan and said rushing success is an 11-man operation. Penix made the right checks. The offensive line made key blocks. So, too, did the tight ends and receivers, who Dotson said “block our asses off” on a weekly basis.
