Drake London NEWS
Drake London Removed From Injury Report
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) wasn't listed on the team's first injury report released Wednesday. He was dealing with a knee issue in the fourth quarter of Week 5 against Tampa Bay, but the rookie wide receiver appears to have avoided a significant injury. The 21-year-old wasn't listed on the injury report and should be available for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. He has had a solid rookie campaign, catching 22 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns over five games in 2022. London is a borderline WR2 in a tough matchup against the 49ers in Week 6.
Oct 13, 2022 • 12:45 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Officially Active For Week 1
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) is officially active for Week 1. Despite being listed as questionable, he's good to go for his NFL debut against the New Orleans Saints. In a thin wide receiver room, London has a chance to make an immediate splash. He and Kyle Pitts figure to headline the Atlanta passing attack this season. However, London has a tricky matchup with Marshon Lattimore this week, dropping him to the low-end WR3 tier. You should look to start better options in your fantasy lineup this week.
Sep 11, 2022 • 4:24 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Expected To Play In Week 1
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) is expected to be active on Sunday. He'll make his NFL debut against the New Orleans Saints. The USC product has a tricky matchup on tap in the form of Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, which puts a cap on his upside and limits him to the low-end WR3 range. London's lingering knee issue only adds another negative element to his outlook. With these factors in mind, London is best left on your bench in Week 1.
Sep 11, 2022 • 11:58 AM | RotoBallerDrake London's Status Still Uncertain
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has an uncertain status leading up to the team's Week 1 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, as head coach Arthur Smith says a decision on the rookie's status won't be made until after a workout on Saturday. London suffered his knee injury in the preseason opener so it may be a more serious issue than what was initially thought. If he plays, the 21-year-old figures to be the No. 1 option at wide receiver, but Kyle Pitts should see the most looks from quarterback Marcus Mariota. London would be a risky WR4/FLEX option if he is active considering the possibility he is on a snap count. Olamide Zaccheaus and Bryan Edwards would headline the Falcons receiver group should London be held out of action.
Sep 9, 2022 • 6:18 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Limited Again Thursday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was active in Thursday's non-padded practice and was listed as a limited participant on the injury report. London initially injured his knee in the preseason opener and didn't play again. The 21-year-old first-rounder could be listed as questionable for the Week 1 regular season opener against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, unless he elevates his practice status to a full session on Friday. Head coach Arthur Smith said the team won't make a decision on London's status until Sunday, making him a risky WR4/flex for fantasy lineups this weekend as things stand now. If London doesn't play on Sunday, tight end Kyle Pitts will likely be quarterback Marcus Mariota's top aerial target.
Sep 9, 2022 • 2:57 AM | RotoBallerDrake London's Status Won't Be Known Until Later In The Week
Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the team won't know rookie wide receiver Drake London's (knee) Week 1 status against the New Orleans Saints "until the end of the week." London was able to practice on Monday, but they'll see how things progress throughout the week and how much he's able to do. The 21-year-old was injured in the preseason opener and didn't play the rest of the way. Fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on London's practice status this week, but it sounds as though he's headed for the dreaded questionable tag to open the regular season. He'll be the team's No. 1 wideout in his first NFL season when healthy, but he's trending as a risky WR4/flex in Week 1 against what should be a stout Saints D.
Sep 7, 2022 • 6:01 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Trending Toward Playing In Week 1
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) returned to practice on Monday and was reported on Tuesday to be trending towards playing in Week 1. The 21-year-old suffered the injury in their preseason opener and has been working his way back since. Barring any setbacks, the rookie receiver is expected to suit up against the Saints on Sunday. The USC product is a big-bodied, red zone threat that provides this offense with a much-needed playmaker. He'll slot in behind sophomore tight end Kyle Pitts as the No. 2 option, meaning he should be productive right out of the gate. The injury could reduce his fantasy football output for Week 1, making him a riskier top-40 option.
Sep 7, 2022 • 12:26 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Returns To Practice
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) suffered an injury in the first quarter of his first live NFL action in Week 1 of the preseason but returned to practice Monday. This is a promising sign for the rookie wideout from USC and his Week 1 availability against the New Orleans Saints. However, he shouldn't be viewed as a "set it and forget it" starter in fantasy football. He's likely not 100-percent and the Saints weren't a favorable matchup for fantasy wide receiver in 2021. New Orleans was just a middle-of-the-pack unit against wideouts, but the Falcons' offense is expected to be unproductive. Kyle Pitts will likely be the runaway target leader for Marcus Mariota and it's unclear if there's room for a true No. 2 option in this passing attack.
Sep 5, 2022 • 6:28 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Still Absent At Practice
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) exited their preseason opener about three weeks ago and has yet to return to practice. The 21-year-old was again missing on Wednesday, continuing to add concern for his Week 1 status. The eighth overall pick in this year's draft has already risen to the top of the depth chart, slotting in behind only sophomore tight end Kyle Pitts. The USC product should see plenty of volume in an offense that will frequently be in a negative game script. Rookies missing time during the preseason can be problematic because they are still learning the position and developing rapport with their new team. The hope is that London will be back soon and healthy for Week 1. He is still a player to target late in your draft because of his opportunity and talent.
Sep 1, 2022 • 1:39 PM | RotoBallerDrake London Misses Practice Thursday
Atlanta Falcons rookie first-round wide receiver Drake London (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's training camp practice. London has been dealing with a nagging knee injury that he sustained in the preseason opener, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term issue and he should be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season opener. The 22-year-old should be heavily involved in Atlanta's passing attack in his first NFL season alongside Bryan Edwards and tight end Kyle Pitts. While there will certainly be ups and downs for London, especially with quarterback Marcus Mariota under center, he's a fine gamble with plenty of upside as a WR3/4 in upcoming fantasy drafts.
