London is having a nice offseason that included signing a four-year, $141 million contract extension with the Falcons in June.
Now, London's peers have voted him as one of the 100 best players in the NFL going into the season. He is the fifth wideout to appear on the list, ahead of Tetairoa McMillan, A.J. Brown, Zay Flowers and Courtland Sutton.
If you add in tight ends, London is also ahead of Travis Kelce among pass-catchers right now.
This is the highest a Falcons wide receiver has ranked on the annual top 100 list since 2021 when Calvin Ridley came in at No. 66.
A first-round pick by the Falcons in 2022, London has been consistent throughout his career thus far. He has never had fewer than 68 receptions or 866 yards in a season.
The 24-year-old was on pace to have his best season in 2025 if not for a knee injury that kept him out for four games from Weeks 12 through 15. He finished with 919 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games.
London's career output looks even better when you factor in the Falcons have cycled through five different starting quarterbacks since his rookie year. They could add a sixth to that group if Tua Tagovailoa starts a game in 2026.
Whomever is throwing passes in Atlanta this season, having London on the other end to catch them will make the quarterback's life much easier.
Amid all of the hand-wringing earlier this week about Lamar Jackson's placement on the list after being ranked No. 2 in 2025, Smith is another player who experienced a drop in his placement.
Smith fell 26 spots from the 2025 rankings coming off what was probably his worst season in Baltimore, though that says more about how good he was the previous two years.
After being an All-Pro first-team selection in 2023 and 2024, Smith didn't quite make the cut despite an impressive stat line. He finished with 130 combined tackles, five tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and three passes defensed.
Even though the Ravens defense as a whole was disappointing last season, Smith remained a standout for that group.
New head coach Jesse Minter, who previously worked in Baltimore from 2017 to '20 before Smith arrived, seems like he will know how to fully maximize Smith to take advantage of his skill set.
