Drake London Trending Toward Playing In Week 1
2 years agoAtlanta 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.
