Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is ready to go ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. London landed on the injury report on Thursday due to what appears to be a minor hip issue. Despite that, head coach Raheem Morris has cleared London ahead of this weekend. London has 11 receptions for 158 yards over his last two games. Fantasy managers should feel safe plugging him back into lineups this weekend. However, London could have some issues against a tough Chargers secondary.

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad on Friday and released safety Dane Cruikshank in a corresponding move. The move comes with regular kicker Younghoe Koo (hip) up in the air to play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday due to a right-hip injury. If the Falcon end up adding Patterson to their 53-man active roster on Saturday, that will be the most telling sign that Koo won't be able to kick this weekend. The 25-year-old Patterson kicked in just one game so far this year with the New York Jets, making all three of his extra-point tries. He did not attempt a field goal. Fantasy managers with Koo in their starting lineups may want to think about a backup plan in case he's unable to suit up against the Chargers. Patterson is a career 88.1% field-goal kicker on 67 attempts over four NFL seasons.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) and Younghoe Koo (hip) were added to the injury report on Thursday. Both players were limited participants in practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to their respective statuses on Friday as we gather more information and context on whether London and Koo will play Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. London has been the overall WR7 so far, catching 61 passes for 710 yards and six touchdowns. Meanwhile, Koo ranks 14th in fantasy points among kickers, going 19-for-26 on field goals and 23-for-23 on extra points.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited Wednesday. The 27-year-old has not yet missed a game this season, and it now appears he's on track to play in Week 13. He's having the best season of his career so far, totaling 48 catches, 711 yards, and five touchdowns en route to ranking as the overall WR12 in fantasy football. Even though he's second on the depth chart behind Drake London (hip), Mooney should be viewed as a solid top-24 fantasy receiver heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session, according to Daniel Flick of Sports Illustrated. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status, as he was dealing with this same injury prior to their Week 11 match and even left that game early with an additional hamstring injury. However, head coach Raheem Morris said Mooney is "looking good and feeling better." After catching only one pass in the season opener, Mooney has gone on to average a strong 15.8 PPR points during Weeks 2 through 10. During this span, Mooney saw 8.2 targets and brought in 74.3 yards per game. If Mooney is able to suit up, fantasy managers should view him a solid flex option facing the Los Angeles Chargers, who have allowed the 13th-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
