Drake London goes off with Penix back

London and Kyle Pitts have been almost invisible in a wretched offense through two weeks, but Penix has specifically clicked with London during his time in the NFL. Last season, before his injury, London was the NFL’s fourth-leading receiver with 810 yards and six touchdowns on 60 receptions, posting at least 100 yards in five of his last six games.

Bold prediction: London goes over 90 receiving yards and finds the end zone as Penix immediately unlocks Atlanta’s passing game in his season debut.

Skyy Moore becomes an extra weapon with Green Bay banged up.

Green Bay is already without receiver Jayden Reed and guard Aaron Banks for Week 3, and star pass rusher Micah Parsons won’t make his season debut until October, while Moore is Green Bay’s primary backup slot receiver behind Reed. Bold prediction: with Reed sidelined, Moore sees a real target bump in the slot and turns at least one catch into a chunk play, whether through the air or on returns, where he ranked sixth in the NFL last season with a 27.5-yard kickoff return average. \

Matthew Golden Breaks Out Against a Thin Falcons Secondary

Golden enters year two projected as Green Bay’s WR3 as the receiver room thinned out with Doubs and Wicks departing, and he flashed real ability late as a rookie, including a two-touchdown playoff performance. Bold prediction: with Atlanta’s cornerback depth already stretched thin early this season, Golden catches his first touchdown of the year and posts his best game as a pro.
