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.

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.

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.

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.
Dec 8, 2025 5:36 PM EST
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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 14 matchup with the Seahawks. This marks the third straight game that London will miss after spraining his PCL in a Week 11 loss to the Panthers. In the previous two games played without their top pass catcher, both with Kirk Cousins at quarterback, no Falcons wide receiver has topped three receptions in either game. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. and running back Bijan Robinson have led the team in targets over that span, with nine and seven, respectively. If the Seahawks are susceptible anywhere defensively, it has been against the tight end position, keeping Pitts in the streaming conversation. Though even with a higher spot in the pecking order, he has averaged only 7.6 half-PPR points per game over the past two weeks.
Dec 5, 2025 2:31 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Falcons say that London remains day-to-day, but he has yet to practice this week and looks headed toward a third straight absence due to a sprained PCL that he suffered in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been doing some running on the side, though, and there is one more day for him to return to the practice field. Receiver David Sills V has scored a touchdown in both games that London has missed, but it has come on just four receptions (seven targets) and 31 yards. Darnell Mooney had three catches, a season-high 74 yards, and a TD in Week 12 with London out, but he caught just two passes for 25 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Jets. Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will see most of the targets in the passing game for Atlanta if London is ruled out again this weekend against the Seahawks.
Dec 4, 2025 3:35 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Drake London (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he remains day-to-day, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "We will check him out. He'll be doing some running on the side," Morris said. It's not a great start for London, but he still has two more days to get back on the field as he tries to get cleared to play in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old has not played since spraining his PCL in the Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Although London's fantasy ceiling won't be as high when he returns with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year, he'll still be a must-start in all fantasy lineups. If London misses a third straight game this weekend, it will keep Darnell Mooney on the WR4/flex radar while also elevating the ceiling of tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.
Dec 3, 2025 12:12 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) is moving to "day-to-day" this week and "certainly has a chance" to play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14, according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. London has missed the team's last two games due to a PCL sprain in his knee, but the 24-year-old is making progress and could be active this weekend if he can do enough in practice this week to be cleared. It would be a huge boost for the 4-8 Falcons, but considering they aren't in playoff contention, it doesn't make sense for the team to rush their best receiver back. London will be a must-start in fantasy football when he returns, but his ceiling will be lowered with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year. London has a 60-810-6 line on 94 targets in nine games played in 2025.
Dec 1, 2025 3:07 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. London suffered a PCL injury in Week 11 that will now sideline him for at least two games. His absence creates a major void in Atlanta's passing game, as London has recorded 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets across the nine games he's been healthy for in 2025. With London sidelined in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, tight end Kyle Pitts led the team in targets with five. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney led the team with 74 receiving yards, and he was one of four Falcons to see exactly three targets from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Mooney profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 13 against New York.
Nov 28, 2025 3:42 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he thinks wide receiver Drake London (knee) is "doubtful" to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London suffered a PCL injury in Week 11 that appears likely to sideline him for at least two games. Across nine games this season, the star wideout has recorded 60 catches for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets. In his absence in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, Falcons wideouts David Sills V and Dylan Drummond both saw an increase in playing time. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. may be the most likely beneficiaries from a target perspective if London remains out against the Jets.
Nov 26, 2025 11:53 AM EST
The Atlanta Falcons could opt to be cautious with wide receiver Drake London (knee) in the weeks to come, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The former USC star is dealing with a PCL injury, which Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said would keep London on a week-to-week basis. If the Falcons lose to New Orleans on Sunday, however, Pelissero noted that Atlanta will be all but eliminated from making the playoffs, which could cause the team to take London's return very slowly. Atlanta's odds are already low as they turn to backup quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is replacing starter Michael Penix Jr. (knee) following a season-ending injury. Fantasy managers who roster London may have to devise a Plan B if the receiver is going to be absent in the coming weeks.
Nov 23, 2025 1:27 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. London left the team's Week 11 loss to the Panthers with what was later revealed to be a PCL sprain. With second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, the Falcons travel to New Orleans shorthanded on offense. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will presumably be tasked with absorbing some of London's 9.6 targets per game. While Mooney has topped 35 yards only once since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 7, he has displayed chemistry with Kirk Cousins in the past, topping 100 yards twice in 2024 and recording all of his career-high five receiving touchdowns with Cousins under center.
Nov 21, 2025 2:30 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said he's hopeful that wide receiver Drake London (knee) will be able to play in Week 13 against the New York Jets, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Although the Falcons haven't officially ruled London out for their Week 12 divisional game against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, the 24-year-old is not expected to play after spraining the PCL in his left knee in the Week 11 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. The good news, though, is that fantasy managers might be without London for just one game. London's fantasy stock might fall a bit with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) done for the year, but he should still be considered a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he returns from his knee sprain. With London out this weekend, Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be QB Kirk Cousins' top aerial targets.
Nov 19, 2025 12:08 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is considered "week-to-week" after spraining the PCL in his knee in Sunday's overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "He could come back and feel much better. We just don't know," head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday. The 24-year-old pass-catcher caught seven of his nine targets for 119 yards before getting hurt on Sunday, marking the fifth time this year he's gone over 100 receiving yards and the fifth time in the last six games. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect London to miss the Week 12 divisional contest versus the New Orleans Saints, but his absence could also extend into Week 13 against the New York Jets. For however long London is out, Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will see elevated target shares from veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Receivers Davis Sills V, KhaDarel Hodge, and Carlos Washington will be battling for WR2/3 duties.
Nov 17, 2025 5:37 PM EST
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) sustained a PCL sprain in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers that could force him to miss multiple games. Uh oh. London was excellent again before exiting Week 11's defeat. Although his injury was initially deemed minor, testing revealed a much more significant finding. Per Rapoport, the USC product is "out this week and potentially more." It's a massive hit to Atlanta's passing attack, as London had absorbed a hefty 33.1% target share through ten games. In his absence, fantasy managers can expect teammates Darnell Mooney and David Sills V to operate in two-wide-receiver sets. However, Atlanta's offense is on track to be in flux with the news that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) may miss the remainder of the season with an injury of his own.
Nov 17, 2025 11:32 AM EST
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the knee injury Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) suffered in Week 11 is "not thought to be overly serious." Schefter also reports that London will undergo additional tests to determine the "extent of the injury and how much time he will miss, if any." London was forced to exit early from his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers due to the injury. Before getting hurt, he recorded seven catches for 119 yards on nine targets. Any absence for London would be a devastating blow for the Atlanta offense. Across nine games this season, the 24-year-old has hauled in 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets. If he misses time, Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. would both be in for a bump in targets. Atlanta will travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 12.
Nov 16, 2025 9:19 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that the team doesn't have any additional information yet pertaining to wide receiver Drake London (knee). London exited prior to the start of overtime on Sunday and was quickly ruled out. He finished Week 11 with nine targets, seven receptions, and 119 receiving yards. Given the short amount of time between London exiting and Morris speaking postgame, it's possible that the Falcons' medical personnel haven't had an opportunity to fully evaluate the receiver's injury yet. In all likelihood, we'll get an update on his status after the Falcons conduct additional testing on Sunday evening or Monday morning. The Falcons face the Saints next Sunday, so London will have seven days to rest and recover. If he can't suit up, Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts Sr. would operate as the top targets for Michael Penix Jr. (knee) or Kirk Cousins.
Nov 16, 2025 4:55 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) exited near the end of the fourth quarter during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. It's unclear exactly when London suffered the injury, but it could have come on his final target with 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He finishes the game with nine targets, seven receptions, and 119 receiving yards. Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts will step up as Kirk Cousins' top targets for the remainder of Sunday's overtime period between the Panthers and Falcons.
Nov 16, 2025 4:32 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness, back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. London has missed just one game this year, catching 53 passes for 691 yards and six touchdowns through eight contests. He ranks as the overall WR6 in fantasy points this year and should continue to be started in all leagues.
