Who Should I Start? Michael Thomas or Drake London

Wednesday, September 11, 8:40 PM

The National Football League on Wednesday announced that it has lifted the suspension of free-agent wide receiver Michael Thomas. Thomas was suspended for the first game of the 2024 NFL season for an incident with a construction worker near his home last year. The fact that the 31-year-old remained without a team all offseason is a sign that he may struggle to latch on with an organization despite the fact that he's past his one-game suspension. Just several years ago, Thomas was the best receiver in the league, but injuries have limited him to 20 games since the start of the 2020 campaign, and he played in just 10 games with the New Orleans Saints last year before a knee injury ended his season. He caught 39 passes for 448 yards and one touchdown in 2023. Thomas belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues and is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2024.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is day-to-day coming out of the team's Week 8 upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, in which he was ruled out, according to AtlantaFalcons.com's Terrin Waack. "Drake is in the building, feels good, planning on practicing. Get a chance to look at him moving around a little bit today. Those guys are both feeling day-to-day but a lot better than we felt last week," head coach Raheem Morris said. London popped up on Atlanta's injury report late last week and was a surprise inactive on Sunday, but the fact that he'll be back on the practice field on Wednesday (even if he's limited) is a sign that he could return this weekend to face the New England Patriots. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is also day-to-day after missing Week 8, so the Falcons could be getting both London and Penix back. The 24-year-old London is a must-start in fantasy lineups if he's active against New England.
