Drake London ascends as the NFC TD leader trajectory hinges on Michael Penix Jr.’s Falcons debut. Penix-London chemistry blossomed in three games, yielding two multi-TD performances and a red-zone rapport that could redefine Atlanta’s passing game. Leonard Floyd anchors Atlanta’s defense, while rookie pass-rushers in Walker and Pearce Jr. face a learning curve. Atlanta opens 3-0, while two NFC playoff teams—Tampa Bay and Minnesota—enter Week 1 with health advantages, setting up a volatile, high-variance season for fantasy owners.

London’s leap pairs with Penix to amplify Falcons’ aerial upside, Floyd’s sack production could buoy a modest defensive return, and the Vikings’ Addison returns from suspension to test NFC ceilingbacks. Carolina’s Nic Scourton on the Panthers’ edge adds another wrinkle to the league’s most intriguing Falcons storyline of 2025.
