Drake London, the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver who recently returned from a knee injury, is uncertain ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite being listed as questionable after limited practice sessions throughout the week, there are positive signs regarding his participation in tonight’s game.
The Falcons have promoted wide receiver Chris Blair from the practice squad, which could suggest that London may not be on the field. However, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris expressed optimism about London’s chances of playing, stating he felt “great” about the player’s condition. Last week, London managed to perform in a game despite having limited practice time, indicating he may be able to overcome a similar situation this week.
The final confirmation on London’s status will be made available around 6:45 p.m. ET, just before the game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET. If he is active, fantasy managers are advised to treat him as a must-start wide receiver, given he currently ranks as WR6 in fantasy points per game. Although London struggled in his first game back in Week 16, he is expected to enhance his performance, especially against a Rams defense that has been generous to wide receivers this season.
Fantasy football players should feel confident in starting London if he is on the field, as his potential for a strong showing against the Rams remains high.
