London played an even better game last Sunday than the stat sheet might indicate for the rookie receiver. He dealt with one of the better secondaries in the league and consistently had no issues creating space and making plays when Marcus Mariota needed someone to step up. His production in this game will be critical to whether or not the Falcons are able to hang close with Los Angeles.

Despite the fact, that he is obviously the Falcons’ primary receiver and the Rams have a week of tape to draw from London is still going to be overlooked. London is still an unproven rookie who the Rams haven’t seen in person as of yet.

London is going to surprise the Rams just as he did the Saints with his ability to create space and give Mariota and the offense a chance to move the ball consistently. Even if the Rams opt to put Ramsey on the receiver Mariota shouldn’t shy away from giving him the football. Jalen has been struggling and London has more than enough talent to beat the corner consistently. If he doesn’t the Falcons will fall out of this game early in what will be a long day for Marcus Mariota and the Atlanta offense.
