The Atlanta Falcons will face the New York Giants in Week 16. 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 16?
Evidently, London tweaked his knee at Friday’s practice, drawing a limited tag. However, he was not listed on the final injury report, so whatever he is dealing with must be minor.
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 16?
London hauled in a 30-yard touchdown on Monday night, the longest pass (23 air yards) resulting in a score during his young career. It was a good thing he got on the board early — after another Kirk Cousins interception, the Falcons committed essentially to the football equivalent of the four-corners offense: 37 rush attempts against 17 passes.
Atlanta was able to get away with the game plan because of an inferior opponent, and while I don’t think that’s a sticky offensive game plan in 2024, it could last another week with the Falcons opening as a 10-point favorite against the Giants.
I expect this offensive structure to tank the value of Darnell Mooney more than London, but there’s no overlooking the risk that is present given Cousins’ struggles. London is currently a low-end WR2 for me this week, checking ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. — yes, I’m drawing the line at Mac Jones when it comes to QBs I trust more than Cousins right now.
