Who Should I Start? Drake London or Malik Nabers

Sunday, November 16, 12:39 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (back, illness) is planning to play this Sunday when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers at home. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. The 24-year-old had a weird week. After returning from Germany, London fell ill and was tagged with a DNP for Wednesday's practice. He'd return to a limited capacity the ensuing two days, but picked up a back injury in the process. As of now, it appears that he'll attempt to give it a go. However, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on him up until game time, considering his designation. If, for some reason, he fails to suit up, teammates Darnell Mooney and David Sills V would be deployed in two-wide-receiver sets against a Panthers' defense that's been unkind to wide receivers.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
