  "account": "Drake London, Atlanta's top receiver, is set to start at WR1 in Week 1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to PFN's Week 1 rankings, London holds the eighth spot among all wide receivers. The Steelers were known for blitzing at the eighth-highest rate last season, but it shouldn't be a cause for concern for London. Last season, London faced challenges as the primary target for the Falcons, with his highest target count coming in Week 4. However, his talent and consistent target count make him an ideal choice as a WR1 with confidence. Despite the Steelers' blitz-heavy defense, London is expected to be the primary receiver for many of the Falcons' pass plays. While assessing target quality may be beneficial, London's ability to maximize value from these targets is evident. While DFS streets might not be the best place to implement this strategy, it is a solid choice for season-long leagues. London ranks 8th among WRs in Week 1, outperforming players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, Nico Collins, A.J. Brown, George Pickens, and Rashee Rice.",
