Drake London Will Play Against Saints on Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past week. London is still working his way back after a knee injury sidelined him from Weeks 12 through 15. In two games since then, he has just four catches. Last week was particularly frustrating as he caught one pass for four yards despite handling a 98% snap share. The increased snap share indicates that London is capable of playing a full game, so now, he just needs the targets. Managers should look for him to bounce back as a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver in a competitive battle against the Saints on Sunday.

Drake London Remains in WR1 Territory if Active for Week 18

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 18's matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but head coach Raheem Morris is optimistic about his chances to suit up. London has delivered his two worst games of the season over the past two weeks, catching just one of two targets for four yards last week against the Rams and three of eight targets for 27 yards in Week 16 versus the Cardinals after returning from a PCL sprain. The star wideout will look to get back on track and close out the season on a high note against the Saints, who have allowed the eighth-most PPR points per game to wide receivers this season. London missed Atlanta's Week 12 meeting with New Orleans, but he totalled 14 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets in two games against them last year. He is ranked as RotoBaller's WR13 for the season finale.

Drake London Questionable for Season Finale

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. London carried the same designation into the past two games and was ultimately able to suit up, and head coach Raheem Morris is optimistic about his availability for Week 18. The fourth-year pro was a non-factor in either of those games, as he is clearly still limited by the knee injury that kept him sidelined for a month. In a game that could indirectly determine the playoff fate of the Panthers and Buccaneers, there is at least some divisional pride on the line. However, given London's recent struggles and a slate of games with clearer stakes, he should be viewed as a desperation play at best by any fantasy managers with a Week 18 title on the line.

Drake London Active Against Rams

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. As expected, London will be active to close out Week 17 action after returning to the field for last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old wideout missed Weeks 12-15 with a sprained PCL in his left knee and played 69% of the offensive snaps in Week 16, catching three of his eight targets for only 27 yards. Fantasy managers will be hoping that London sees the field more on Monday against the Rams, although he wasn't able to practice in full at all last week from Thursday through Saturday. London checks in as the WR7 this year in terms of half-PPR fantasy points per game (15.1). His presence on the field for the second straight week will make life more difficult for tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., who went off for 11 catches, 166 yards, and three TDs in Week 15.

Drake London Carries Some Risk as Low-End WR1 in Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was a non-factor in Week 16 after returning from a four-game absence, tallying just three receptions for 27 scoreless yards while playing just 69 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The 24-year-old was limited in practice all week and takes a questionable designation into Monday night's game versus the Rams. Because he has a Monday night game, there is some risk in planning to play him in the event he does not suit up, but as long as he does play, fantasy managers should be putting him in their lineups, as he still received eight targets last week despite his limited production. The 6-foot-4 wideout has recorded at least eight targets in nine of the ten games he's played this season, and had gone over 100 yards receiving in five of his last six prior to Week 16's dud. He'll go up against a Rams defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers for the season and 277.7 yards per game through the air over the last three weeks (second-most). In a Monday Night Football game that has a high over/under of 49.5 and the Falcons as 7.5-point underdogs, Atlanta may need to air it out, but with some uncertainty around the knee and plenty of other receiving options on this team, London projects as a low-end WR1 this week.

Drake London Officially Questionable to Play in Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially questionable for his team's Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, per Terrin Waack of atlantafalcons.com. London suffered a knee injury in Week 11 that sidelined him for the team's next four games, but he was able to return in Week 16. Atlanta eased him back into the lineup in Week 16, as he played a season-low 69% of the team's offensive snaps. That could indicate that London is not fully recovered from his injury, as he remained limited in practice throughout this week. However, London's Week 16 participation seems to bode well for his Week 17 status, unless he suffered an undisclosed setback. The 24-year-old has recorded 63 catches for 837 yards and six touchdowns on 102 targets across 10 games in 2025. If active, London profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 in Week 17 against the Rams.

Drake London Remains Limited with Knee Injury on Friday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) practiced in a limited capacity on Friday. He has been limited for two consecutive days as the Falcons continue to prepare for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. London is dealing with the same knee injury that sidelined him for four games across November and December. However, he played through the ailment last week, catching three of eight targets for 27 yards on a 69% snap share. Therefore, barring any sort of setback, he has a good chance to play on Monday night. He'll likely see a similar or slightly larger workload. As it stands, London ranks as RotoBaller's WR13 for Week 17. Managers should check back on Saturday afternoon when the Falcons announce whether London carries a "questionable" injury designation into the contest.

Drake London to Practice With Some "Modifications"

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Wednesday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) will practice this week, but still with "some type of modifications," according to Terrin Waack of AtlantaFalcons.com. "He's Drake. He's productive. I look forward to him getting better this week," Morris said. After a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his knee, London returned in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals to play a season-low 69% of the offensive snaps. The 24-year-old caught just three passes on eight targets for 27 yards in the 26-19 victory. It appears that he's still not 100% with his knee injury, but he will be active on Monday night to face the Los Angeles Rams, and London should see more action in his second game back. Before his injury, Atlanta's WR1 was averaging 6.7 catches and 90 receiving yards in nine games.

Will Drake London be Limited Again in Week 17?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was targeted eight times in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals, but was only able to convert three of them into receptions for 27 scoreless yards. It was the 24-year-old's first game back from injury after missing four straight contests, and despite the high target volume, he was only on the field for 69 percent of the team's offensive snaps after averaging 92 percent prior to the injury. For those managers who were able to advance despite the poor performance, the 6-foot-4 wideout draws a favorable home matchup in Week 17 against a Rams defense that is much more generous against the pass than it is against the run. Managers should monitor the practice reports throughout the week, but assuming he's got his legs under him now, London figures to be on the field for more snaps on Monday Night Football and should once again be a WR1.

Drake London Officially Active for Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for his team's Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since Week 11 with a knee injury. Across nine games before getting hurt, London recorded 60 receptions for 810 yards and five touchdowns on 94 targets. He's earned double-digit targets in five out of nine outings this season and had recorded at least 100 receiving yards in five out of his last six games before going down in Week 11. Atlanta could choose to work him back into the lineup slowly, but London should immediately take over as his team's top pass-catcher. He profiles as a must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers in Week 16.

Drake London Expected to Return in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. London had been listed as questionable and is working his way back from a four-game absence. He was quite impressive when healthy, catching 60 passes for 810 yards and six touchdowns over the course of nine games. Even though the Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention, London should be an impactful contributor for his team and his fantasy managers over the final few weeks of the regular season. He immediately returns to the WR1 tier in this week's matchup against the Cardinals, who rank near the middle of the league with the 15th-most fantasy points allowed to receivers in 2025.

Drake London a Mid-Range WR1 in Expected Return Against Arizona in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has missed the last four weeks with a knee injury, and despite a questionable tag after being limited in practice all week, he is expected to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals. The 24-year-old was rolling before going down with the injury, recording five 100-yard receiving games in his last six contests, along with six touchdowns to boot. Those games all featured Michael Penix Jr. (knee) under center, though, so there is some uncertainty whether or not Kirk Cousins will display the same affinity for the team's No. 1 receiver. Cousins showed a penchant for targeting his tight end, Kyle Pitts Sr., the most during London's absence. Nevertheless, London slots right back in as a mid-range WR1 for Week 16's road matchup against an Arizona defense that is middle of the road in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wideouts, but that has been hemorrhaging points over the last three weeks, giving up 35 points per game over that stretch (second most). Managers should just make sure to double-check his status on Sunday to make sure he is playing.

Drake London Expected to Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, but head coach Raheem Morris told reporters on Friday that he expects his star receiver to suit up and play. London has missed the last four games with a knee injury, having last appeared in a Week 11 loss to the Panthers. In his absence, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been the main benefactor, finishing as the TE5, TE6, and TE1 over the past three weeks, with the best game of his career coming in a Week 15 Thursday night victory over the Buccaneers. With London back, Pitts' target share is sure to drop, but he remains in play against a Cardinals defense that has been near the bottom of the league at defending tight ends. London himself can also be trusted against an Arizona defense that just saw Nico Collins finish as the WR4 in Week 15. London may face a limited snap count in his first game back, but he is still RotoBaller's WR7 for the week.

Drake London Remains Limited with Knee Injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was limited for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The superstar receiver's status remains uncertain heading into Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. London is working his way back from a multi-game absence and hasn't played since Week 11. He's getting closer to returning, offering managers a boost as the fantasy playoffs continue. If he can suit up this week, he'll benefit from a favorable matchup against the Cardinals, who allowed 85 yards and two touchdowns to Houston's Nico Collins last weekend. Managers should stay tuned to the Falcons' final injury report on Friday, which will provide more clarity on his status and a potential injury designation for Week 16. If he plays without any limitations, he'll be a high-end WR1.

Drake London Day-to-Day, Will Practice on Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Drake London (knee), who is considered day-to-day, will practice on Wednesday so the team can see where he's at, according to Terrin Waack of AtlantaFalcons.com. Morris said on Monday that he's "very hopeful" that London will return in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals. Wednesday will be the first time that the 24-year-old has practiced since spraining his left PCL back in Week 11. He's not a lock to play on Sunday against Arizona, but his return to practice at least gives his fantasy managers hope that he might be available this weekend. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has had a much higher ceiling with London out, as evidenced by his monster 11-catch, 166-yard, three-touchdown spectacle last Thursday night. London is typically a must-start WR1 in fantasy when he's active, but he'll be a bit more volatile in Week 16 if he returns and is on a snap count.

Falcons "Very Hopeful" Drake London Can Return in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is "very hopeful" that wide receiver Drake London (knee) can return to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "Obviously got to get to the practice week. I'm very hopeful he can go out there and play for us," Morris said. London has missed the last four games after spraining the PCL in his left knee back in Week 11, but if he can return to practice this week, the 24-year-old could return on Sunday to face the Cardinals. Fantasy managers still alive in the playoffs will need to keep a close eye on his status this week. In London's absence, Kyle Pitts Sr. has finally broken out, going nuclear for 11 catches, 166 yards, and three touchdowns in last Thursday night's win over the Buccaneers. Pitts will lose valuable targets whenever London returns, possibly this weekend. It's unclear if London would face a snap count if he returns in Week 16.

Drake London Won't Play on Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. The writing was on the wall for London to miss a fourth straight game after he missed practice on both Monday and Tuesday. The 24-year-old hasn't practiced or played since spraining his PCL back in Week 11. Fantasy managers who stay alive in the playoffs will be hoping that London can return to practice next week and play in Week 16 versus the Arizona Cardinals. With London sidelined again this week, Darnell Mooney will once again be Atlanta's WR1, although he'll be a volatile WR4/flex. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game without London, but in the last two weeks, he's caught only three passes for 31 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most in the last three weeks with London out.

Drake London Listed as DNP Again on Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day this week on Tuesday, according to the team's official website. London suffered a sprained PCL in his knee back in Week 11 and hasn't practiced or played since. The 24-year-old still has one more day to get back on the practice field, but as of now, it's not looking good for his chances of returning to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. If London misses a fourth straight game, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will maintain midrange TE1 status in fantasy football, with receiver Darnell Mooney also having more boom upside as a WR4/flex. In the last two weeks, Pitts has come on strong with London sidelined, catching 13 of his 18 targets for 172 yards as one of quarterback Kirk Cousins' top targets. London's next chance to play will be in Week 16 versus the Cardinals if he's ruled out for this Thursday night.

Drake London Listed as a DNP on Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. London hasn't practiced or played since spraining the PCL in his knee in Week 11, and although he's been listed as day-to-day this week, it's bad news that the 24-year-old is a DNP on Monday with the team's next game coming on Thursday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. London is going to need to get back on the practice field on Tuesday or Wednesday to have a shot at returning in Week 15. When active, London is a must-start for fantasy purposes, even with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year. If London misses a third straight game, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be the Falcons' leading receiver again.

Drake London Considered Day-to-Day Going into Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) is day-to-day as the team begins preparations for their contest on Thursday Night Football in Week 15 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London has not practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain in his knee in Week 11. It sounds as though the 24-year-old wideout is making progress, but on a short week, London could still be on the wrong side of questionable to make his return. He will need to get back on the practice field before Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers still playing for something in Week 15 need to be prepared to be without Atlanta's top wideout for another week. With London sidelined, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most, catching 13 of 18 targets the last two weeks for 172 yards.
