Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London drew an astounding 16 targets on Sunday, catching nine of them for 86 yards, but failed to find the end zone in a 17-13 loss to the Chargers. It was the fifth time this season that the 23-year-old garnered double-digit targets and the eighth time in 12 contests that he's recorded at least six catches. Unfortunately, after scoring six times in the season's first nine games, the 6-foot-4 wideout hasn't logged a TD reception in three consecutive weeks. That could change next Sunday when the Falcons take on the Vikings, a team that has been one of the most generous in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers. They will need Kirk Cousins to remedy his interception problem though -- he threw four of them on Sunday -- as that has also been part of the reason for London's scoreless streak. Nevertheless, with a solid weekly floor, London will be a WR1 next week.
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.
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 Drake London led his team in receiving yards, but it didn't amount to much in a 38-6 blowout loss to the Broncos on Sunday. The 23-year-old caught three of seven targets for 61 scoreless yards. After scoring in six of the Falcons' first nine games, the former first-round draft pick has been held out of the end zone in two consecutive weeks. Even so, Sunday marked the ninth time in 11 games that the USC product drew at least six targets, so he's maintained a strong role in this offense. When the team comes out of the bye in Week 13, another challenge could await against the Chargers, although they haven't been as stingy in allowing fantasy points to receivers in recent weeks as they had been earlier in the year. London is likely a back-end WR1 in that matchup.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been a consistent fantasy producer through 10 weeks, catching at least six passes in seven of those games and finding the end zone six times, putting him well within the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the position. However, it is going to be tough to replicate those numbers in Week 11 against a strong Denver pass defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts thus far. The silver lining is that they have been a bit more beatable in recent weeks, allowing five TDs to receivers over the last four weeks compared to just one in the season's first six weeks. With a 25.5% target share and 32.9% of the team's air yards, his role is secure in this offense and figures to be a back-end WR1 in Week 11.
