Who Should I Start? Drake London or Rashid Shaheed

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.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Rashid Shaheed could see his involvement increase in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle will be without wide receiver Tory Horton (groin/shin) in this game. Horton is Seattle's other deep-play threat who could threaten Shaheed's touches. Shaheed was only on the field for 34% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps in Week 11. Part of that was likely due to the game script removing the need for additional offensive output as Seattle was dominating the Cardinals. Still, Seattle was intentional with trying to get Shaheed the ball. He garnered three targets, including a couple of plays clearly schemed for him. The Rams are near the top of the league in defending all facets of the game. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to make his fantasy day. Ironically, Shaheed just faced the Rams in Week 9 as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He reeled in five catches for 68 targets for a solid fantasy day. As such, Shaheed could be a solid dart throw if you are in dire straits at the wide receiver position.
