Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Drummond's 2025 rookie sample reads like a developmental redshirt. Across six games he ran just 71 routes for a 12.5% route share, drawing 11 targets and a 2.1% target share while playing only 21% of snaps. The efficiency underneath was alarming: a minus-0.556 EPA per play, a 36.4% success rate, and a brutal 0.59 yards per route run. He turned seven catches into 42 yards, never finding the end zone despite three red-zone looks.

The path forward is opportunity, not production. Atlanta's receiver room dealt with injuries, yet Drummond still couldn't carve out a defined role, and he projects as a back-end depth piece entering 2026. With essentially no ADP and zero roster relevance, he's a watch-list name at best. Until he earns real snaps and route volume, there's nothing here to draft in any format.
