Who Should I Start? Drake London or Ladd McConkey

Saturday, October 25, 4:35 PM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Atlanta Falcons have downgraded wide receiver Drake London (hip) to questionable. London was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited on Friday. While he did not carry a designation on Friday's injury report, it now appears his status for Sunday's game could be in doubt. Managers should closely monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game. The former eighth overall pick is coming off a quiet showing in Week 7, where he caught just four passes for 42 yards. However, in his previous two games, London tallied 134.0 yards per game and averaged a stellar 28.4 PPR points per game during this stretch. If London were to miss Sunday's contest, Darnell Mooney would carry WR2 upside while Kyle Pitts Sr. would project as a strong TE1.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught six of his 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. McConkey had a relatively underwhelming start to the season, but he seems to have turned a corner with 27 catches and three touchdowns over his last four games. Since Week 5, he is averaging 18.8 fantasy points per game (PPR), which ranks as the eighth-most among all NFL wide receivers during that span. McConkey's rapport with Justin Herbert continues to solidify, and he should be treated as a low-end fantasy WR1 going forward. He'll face off against the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 9.
