The Falcons are entering 2025 with a star wide receiver in Drake London who will get them at least 1,000 yards and other receivers that can put up productive numbers across the board. Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge were impactful weapons in 2024 and look to improve.
The Falcons once had Julio Jones and Roddy White as their main weapons, and they are looking for productivity in that sense once again and be able to roster one or two pro bowl receivers once again.

London is coming off his best season as a pro where he racked up over 1,000 yards and the second leading receiver was Mooney who ended up with 992 yards. and five touchdowns. Hodge picked up momentum at different times but was never the consistent WR3 that he will be this season.
The team picked up some return specialists that can also be productive at the receiver position. Ray-Ray McCloud and Jamal Agnew are top returners in the NFL and have also switched onto offense during possessions for route running and speed.
Atlanta is looking to utilize all of their weapons in this position, so Penix feels more comfortable in the offense and in his first full season as a starter. London will look to push into the All-Pro status while the other weapons hope to build productive seasons and help Atlanta get to the playoffs.
The Receiver position in Atlanta looks to be stable and have a good number of players that can have big games at any given moment.
