The full read
Drake London caught everything thrown his way against the Bengals: 5 targets, 5 catches, 68 yards and +6.9 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, in a 34-17 loss. It came a week after 1 catch for 8 yards on 6 targets at Tampa Bay.
The two flags he drew mattered as much as the catches. On the opening drive, first and goal at the 4, DJ Turner II was called for pass interference against him, and Charlie Woerner caught the 1-yard touchdown on the next play. Down 24-10 in the third, third and 6 at the Cincinnati 17, Turner was flagged again on a deep throw to London, a 16-yard penalty to the 1, and Bijan Robinson scored two snaps later.
His catches moved the chains when the game was still in reach. Down 31-17 at the start of the fourth, third and 3 at the Cincinnati 32, he caught a short throw to the right for 14 yards to the 18, +1.7 EPA and 4.4 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. The drive ended in a missed 38-yard field goal.
Per target it was more than three times his season rate. Through Week 8 he had 39 catches on 62 targets for 624 yards, a touchdown and +24.8 EPA, +0.40 a target; here it was +1.38.
