Who Should I Start? Drake London or Malik Nabers

Friday, December 26, 7:55 PM

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.

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.
