Falcons Rule Out Drake London

Falcons Rule Out Drake London

one year ago

The Atlanta Falcons have officially ruled out wide receiver Drake London (groin) for their Week 9 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday due to a groin injury that he sustained in the Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It's bad timing for London and his fantasy managers with quarterback Taylor Heinicke taking over under center for the struggling Desmond Ridder this week. Move London to your benches for the week and look for a replacement. In London's absence, Van Jefferson, Mack Hollins and KhaDarel Hodge should start in three-wide sets this Sunday against a vulnerable Vikings secondary. Tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith will also both become more attractive in fantasy lineups with more targets expected to come their way.
