Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is still considered day-to-day, and head coach Raheem Morris "feels really good about it" when it comes to London's progress after he suffered a hip-pointer injury while catching a touchdown pass early in the Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Whether London plays in Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints will be a matter of pain tolerance, but we should have a better idea of the 23-year-old's status for this coming Sunday once the Falcons start practicing on Wednesday. If he looks good in practice and is cleared, London will be a must-start in fantasy lineups against a Saints secondary that just traded away cornerback Marshon Lattimore. If London is inactive, the weekly fantasy value of receivers Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III and tight end Kyle Pitts will go up.
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris called both wide receiver Drake London (hip) and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (Achilles) as day-to-day on Monday. London suffered a hip-pointer injury while coming down hard on his hip on a touchdown catch early in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It will be a pain-tolerance issue for the 23-year-old as far as his status is concerned for Week 10 versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Fantasy managers should at least be happy that London avoided a long-term injury, but his status for this weekend may be up in the air and could come down to how much he's able to do in practice. For now, consider him questionable for Week 10. If London is out against the Saints, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III figure to serve as Atlanta's top two pass-catchers.
The belief is that Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) suffered a right hip-pointer injury on Sunday in the Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys, although he's going for additional tests on Monday, according to a source. Hip-pointer injuries can be frustrating for players, but they usually aren't long-term issues, which is great news for the Falcons and London's fantasy managers. The 23-year-old suffered the injury while making a nine-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter and he was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game. It sounds like he won't have to miss additional time, but it doesn't mean he won't be ruled out for Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. If London misses any time, it will mean added targets and opportunities for receivers Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III and tight end Kyle Pitts.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip, oblique) is believed to be dealing with a hip pointer and an oblique strain following Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys, according to James Palmer of Bleacher Report. The 23-year-old exited in the first half after catching two passes for 27 yards and one touchdown. The Falcons' young playmaker has been a reliable WR1 in fantasy football this season, but managers could be forced to pivot if London ends up missing extended time. In such a scenario, Darnell Mooney would step up as the Falcons' top receiver, with Ray-Ray McCloud III and tight end Kyle Pitts also seeing more targets.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) has officially been downgraded to out for the rest of their Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud III, and Kyle Pitts will all see added opportunities while KhaDarel Hodge could see some snaps as well. London finishes the game with two catches for 27 yards and one touchdown on two targets. The team will likely perform some tests on his hip following the game and into Monday morning.
