The Atlanta Falcons will face the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Drake London.
Is Drake London Playing in Week 11?
Drake London is still slightly hampered by the hip injury he suffered in Week 9. However, Thursday brought the most tangible sign of progress yet.
London was a full participant Thursday, his first full practice since suffering the injury. The Falcons have no issue taking it easy on their WR1, as he had been limited in every practice since suffering that hip pointer. However, it’s a great sign that he’s back to practicing in full.
The former first-round pick fully practiced again on Friday and was removed from Atlanta’s injury report.
London leads the Falcons with 58 receptions, while his 649 receiving yards are second on the team to Darnell Mooney. His six touchdown receptions are also already a career-high (and as many as he had his first two seasons combined).
We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Drake London in Week 11?
Drake London has developed into one of the more consistent receivers in our game (four straight top-15 finishes) after an underwhelming start (zero such games previously), and nothing in his profile suggests that the good times are going to end any time soon.
Kirk Cousins has fired an end-zone target in the direction of his unquestioned WR1 in five straight games, giving London plenty of scoring equity. The upside boost is worth very little if it doesn’t come with a reasonable floor, something that we are also getting from the 2024 version of this Falcons offense.
London is operating out of the slot on the majority of his routes, and given how productive he is from that spot on the field (2.1 fantasy points per slot target and 3.5 yards per slot route), I have no reservations about ranking him as a top-15 option.
Will the looming shadow of Pat Surtain II limit his upside? It’s possible, but I’m willing to bet on the creativity and versatility of this offense; if this matchup results in suppressed ownership in the DFS streets, I’m going to be overweight in a major way when it comes to the percentage of lineups with London driving the ship.
