  • Closes out season strong

    London secured four of eight targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite managing his ongoing knee issue, London set the pace for the Falcons in receiving yards on the afternoon while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The talented wideout added his seventh touchdown catch of the season on a 15-yard grab with just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter. London was on pace for a career-best season before his injury cost him four games, but he still wrapped up his fourth campaign with a 68-919-7 line across 12 contests while…read more

  • Playing through knee issue

    London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London has attained clearance to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that London will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the star wideout could be more of a playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season…read more

  • Questionable, but optimistic

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that London (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Saints but that the team is optimistic he will play, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Morris said the same of tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) and No. 2 receiver Darnell Mooney (knee). London has managed to play through his lingering knee injury (a PCL sprain) in each of Atlanta's last two games, though his production has been muted, with just four catches for 31 yards across 10 targets in that span. If he's cleared to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash, London will have a chance to close out the 2025 campaign on a positive note. His status will be made official no later than 90…read more

  • Limited again Thursday

    London (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London also was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to get back to full before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. He missed Weeks 12-15 due to a PCL sprain and has been able to suit up for both of the last two contests, but his cumulative 4-31-0 line on 10 targets during that span falls well short of his performances from the first 11 outings of the season.

  • Listed as LP

    London (knee) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report.

    Analysis: London has just four catches for 31 yards since returning from a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain. He'll likely play again Week 18 against the Saints, but he may not be at this best until next season.

  • Limited to one catch in win

    London secured one of two targets for four yards in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    Analysis: London tied his career low in catches while also setting a new low-water mark in receiving yards. His previous single-game low in yardage this season had come during his Week 16 return against the Cardinals, when he'd netted 27 on three receptions. Despite quiet back-to-back games, the 2022 first-round pick should have a solid chance of bouncing back in the Week 18 home regular-season finale against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Active in Week 17

    London (knee) is listed as active Monday against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London sat out Weeks 12-15 due to a sprained PCL in his left knee, and in his return to the lineup last Sunday at Arizona, he logged 53 of 77 offensive snaps (69 percent) en route to three catches (on eight targets) for 27 yards. Such a workload pales in comparison to his weekly snap shares of greater than 85 percent prior to the injury, but his target count in Week 16 was in line with his previous volume in the Falcons' passing game. Because London was listed as limited on all three Week 17…read more

  • Questionable for MNF, coach optimistic

    London (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London has been deemed a limited participant in practice this week after returning to action last weekend after missing four games with a sprained PCL in his knee. While Atlanta's top wideout is officially listed as questionable, per Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site, coach Raheem Morris said that he feels "great" about London playing Monday night, a notion echoed by Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com, who indicates that London is on track to be available versus Los Angeles.

  • Another limited practice

    London (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London was also listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, meaning Saturday will be his last opportunity to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps ahead of Monday Night Football against Los Angeles. The star wideout returned from a four-game absence versus Arizona in Week 16 but secured just three of eight targets for 27 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant.

  • Listed as limited Thursday

    London (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London made his return from a four-game absence due to a sprained PCL in his left knee this past Sunday at Arizona, a contest in which he logged a 69 percent snap share and gathered in three of eight targets for 27 yards. His listed practice restrictions Thursday likely are related to maintenance, and he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Falcons potentially give him a designation for Monday's contest against the Rams.

  • Struggles in Week 16 return

    London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams.

  • Returning to action Sunday

    London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London is putting an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his inability to practice in any more than a limited capacity during Week 16 prep suggests he may not be able to handle his normal workload. Nevertheless, he put together three straight 100-yard receiving efforts in his last stretch of play Weeks 9-11, so he likely will resume his status as the Falcons' No. 1 WR, at the very least, for QB Kirk Cousins.

  • Remains likely to play Week 16

    London (knee), who is officially questionable for Sunday's battle against Arizona, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he expects London to suit up Sunday, and that outlook doesn't appear to have changed. If London does play, it will mark his return from a four-game absence. He'd immediately slot back in as Atlanta's No. 1 wideout for QB Kirk Cousins, who was the team's backup quarterback the last time London took part in a game.

    London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, with Falcons coach Raheem Morris saying Friday that the expects the wideout to play, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

    Analysis: London is on track to return from a four-game absence after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers will still need to keep an eye on the situation ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm. ET kickoff, as London didn't quite make enough progress to avoid an injury designation for the game. It'll be a good matchup if he plays, given Arizona's recent struggles on defense.

  • Another limited session

    London (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London now has strung together back-to-back capped sessions this week as he seeks to put an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee. Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance to return to action Sunday at Arizona, and if TE Kyle Pitts, who showed up on Thursday's injury report as limited with a knee injury of his own, also has a designation for that contest.

    Analysis: London has missed the past four games due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his return to practice Wednesday was preceded by coach Raheem Morris telling Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com that the wide receiver now is considered "day-to-day." London will have two more chances to mix into drills this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at Arizona.

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London will participate in practice and remains day-to-day, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Morris expressed optimism Monday about London's chances of retaking the field for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals, and it appears the star wideout will take a tangible step in the right direction Wednesday. In all likelihood, London will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but if he's able to upgrade to full on field-reps even once in Week 16, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's matchup.

  • Optimism for Week 16 return

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that he's "very hopeful" London (knee) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: London has missed four consecutive games due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, in which span he hasn't practiced. Morris indicated that handling on-field activity will be crucial for London to return Week 16, meaning his status at Wednesday's practice will need to be monitored closely.

    London (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Tampa Bay, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London thus will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to the sprained PCL in his left knee that he suffered Week 11. His next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 21 at Arizona. With London out again, the Falcons' receiving corps will be paced by Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins, among others.

If London remains sidelined for the contest, Darnell Mooney, David Sills and Dylan Drummond would be in line to lead Atlanta's Week 15 WR corps.

    Analysis: On Monday, coach Raheem Morris told McElhaney that London was considered day-to-day and "certainly has a chance to play" Sunday versus the Seahawks. With back-to-back DNPs under his belt to kick off Week 14 prep, though, London has made no noticeable progress in his recovery from the PCL sprain in his left knee that has sidelined him the last two games.

The wideout thus has two more opportunities to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but if his PCL issue keeps him sidelined again this weekend, Darnell Mooney and David Sills would be in line to lead the Falcons' Week 14 WR corps, with Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins candidates to be elevated from the team's…read more

    Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (knee) is now considered day-to-day and "certainly has a chance to play" next Sunday against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London has missed the previous two games with his sprained PCL, but it sounds like he could be nearing a return to the lineup. The 4-8 Falcons don't have much to play for these days, so rushing London back at less than 100 percent in what's become a lost season doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Morris, however, may be feeling the pressure to get some late-season wins, and London would certainly help the Falcons be competitive.

David Sills and Dylan Drummond got most of the WR snaps alongside Darnell Mooney in London's absence last week, with Sills and Mooney both scoring TDs on an afternoon when Kirk Cousins attempted just 23 passes.

    Analysis: London didn't practice in any capacity ahead of being ruled out for Week 12, and he looks on track to miss a second consecutive game. The star wideout is nursing a PCL sprain suffered during Atlanta's overtime loss to the Panthers in Week 11. London will still have three opportunities to return to practice in some capacity before Atlanta has to assign him an official injury designation for Sunday's game against New York, but any recovery progress made could speak more to his chances of…read more

London is dealing with a PCL sprain in his left knee, an injury he sustained in Atlanta's overtime loss to the Panthers this past Sunday.

London reportedly suffered a sprained PCL in Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It sounds like London will miss at least next Sunday's game against New Orleans, but Morris wasn't ready to rule out his star receiver for that contest.

    London (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL and is expected to miss next Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: London also could miss additional time beyond that contest. With Atlanta's top wideout looking doubtful for Week 12, there would be additional pressure on Darnell Mooney to turn his poor season around, while David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Carlos Washington might see additional work. Falcons pass catchers will be working with Kirk Cousins moving forward after Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury in a Week 11 loss to the Panthers.

Rapoport cautions that London could still miss some time, depending on what Monday's tests show, but the star wide receiver likely avoided a major injury.

If the Falcons' top pass catcher is forced to miss time, Darnell Mooney and David Sills would be next in line for added WR opportunities, with KhaDarel Hodge, Casey Washington and Jamal Agnew available to mix in. In any case, London's status is now worth monitoring closely as next Sunday's game against the Saints approaches.

    Analysis: London sat out the Falcons' first practice of the week before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. The star wideout apparently feels well enough to try to play Sunday, though he may not be 100 percent while he manages both an illness and a back issue. London's availability -- if he does indeed play -- is a big deal for Atlanta's passing game, as he's exceeded 100 receiving yards in four of the past five games in which he's taken the field.

    Analysis: It was reportedly an illness that prevented London from practicing Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant, seemingly putting him on track to play this Sunday. The back injury and questionable designation mean it's not quite a sure thing, but the Falcons at least have an early kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET, making things easier on fantasy managers if London takes a turn for the worse.

    Analysis: After being held out of the end zone through the first three games of the season, London has responded with TDs in four of his last five appearances on his way to a 37-532-6 line on 58 targets during that span. He's now dealing with an illness at the start of Week 11 prep, but he at least has two more practices this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

    London (undisclosed) is not present at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution repots.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen whether London's absence at practice is excused or due to an injury. Clarity on that front will arrive with the release of Wednesday's injury report around roughly 4:00 p.m. ET. The star wide receiver has surpassed the 100-yard mark in three of his last four appearances, with five touchdowns in that span. If healthy, he remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Sunday's home matchup against the Panthers.

  • Another TD in Week 10 loss

    London caught six of eight targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts. He added a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: No other Falcons pass catcher hauled in more than two passes or gained more than 38 yards, as London continues to be Michael Penix's only reliable downfield option. Sunday marked the fourth time in his last five games that London has topped 100 receiving yards, and he's up to six TDs in nine games, including four in the last two weeks. The fourth-year wideout will look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Panthers, a team he's scored four touchdowns against in seven career meetings.

    Analysis: London upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He'll return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury to face a hot New England defense led by CB Christian Gonzalez.

    London (hip) was limited at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London now has been listed as limited on three consecutive injury reports due to a hip issue, which sidelined him this past Sunday versus the Dolphins. He'll have one more opportunity to get back to full this week before Atlanta potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game in New England. Assuming London is able to suit up this weekend, it's unclear who between Michael Penix (knee), who also was limited Wednesday and Thursday, and Kirk Cousins will be under center for the…read more

  • Limited Wednesday

    London (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, London mixed into team drills to begin Week 9 prep, but he didn't log enough work for him to be listed as more than limited. London showed up on last Friday's injury report the same way before Atlanta tagged him as questionable Saturday and eventually inactive this past Sunday against the Dolphins. Both London and No. 1 QB Michael Penix (knee) missed that contest, but both operated with a cap on their reps Wednesday, which generally is a decent sign that the…read more

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said London (hip) will participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London and Michael Penix (knee) are both slated to practice Wednesday after having been sidelined for Atlanta's loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Penix was limited in practice due to a bone bruise in advance of being ruled out for Miami, while London as a surprise inactive after having initially avoided a game-day injury designation, then being reclassified as questionable on Saturday. Morris said both London and Penix remain day-to-day in advance of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots.

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (hip) is "day-to-day," Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Morris called both London and quarterback Michael Penix (knee) day-to-day in the wake of both players having missed Atlanta's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Veteran backup quarterback Kirk Cousins looked ill-prepared to command the Falcons offense without London on the field, finishing with just 173 passing yards with no touchdowns or interceptions despite facing off against a deeply flawed Miami secondary.

    Analysis: Despite showing up as limited on Friday's practice report due to a hip issue, London initially wasn't tagged with a designation for Sunday's game, but the Falcons then changed his status to questionable Saturday, per Terrin Waack of the team's official site. With London's lack of availability now confirmed for Week 8 action, Atlanta's options at wide receiver will be Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond.

  • Now listed as questionable for Week 8

    The Falcons changed London's status to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hip injury, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: London didn't show up on Atlanta's Week 8 injury report until Friday as a limited participant with the hip issue, and the team then didn't tag him with a game-day designation. With the slight downgrade, his status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff to see if he'll be available.

  • Little production on 10 targets

    London recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: London logged double-digit targets for the fourth time in six games this season, so lack of opportunity wasn't the reason for his poor line. However, he struggled to connect with Michael Penix both deep and in short areas of the field, leading to his inefficient day and his lowest yardage total of the campaign. The Falcons' passing game appeared to be getting on track in Weeks 5 and 6, making this a particularly disappointing step back.

The 23-year-old London didn't cool off over his team's Week 5 bye, bookending the break with a pair of 100-plus yard games with a touchdown scored in each.

    Analysis: On a day when the host Panthers delivered a shocking thumping to the Falcons, London managed to cobble together a serviceable, albeit uninspiring, fantasy day. The talented wideout led Atlanta in both receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets, and the yardage tally tied London's season high.

  • Quiet in Week 2 win

    London recorded three receptions on four targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: The Falcons relied on a run-heavy offense as they never trailed in the contest, limiting the production of all their pass catchers. Nevertheless, London led the team in yardage thanks to a long gain of 21 yards, though he also lost a fumble after an 18-yard gain early in the first quarter. He has only 104 yards on 19 targets through two games this season, and Atlanta may be able to rely heavily on their run game once again in Week 3 against Carolina.

Both are now available to face a Minnesota defense that allowed a league-high 39.7 PPR points per game to wide receivers last year (albeit with the production driven by volume rather than efficiency).

    London (shoulder) is considered day-to-day due to a shoulder sprain, though he's set for further testing on the injury he suffered in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Early reports on London's injury are encouraging, though further testing is needed to confirm the severity of the injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday's season-opening loss. The Falcons were already without Darnell Mooney (shoulder) against Tampa Bay, so they could be severely shorthanded at wide receiver against the Vikings in Week 2 if London's unable to suit up.

    London, who brought in eight of 15 targets for 55 yards in the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, was sidelined on Atlanta's final drive due to a shoulder injury, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

    Analysis: As his final numbers corroborate, London had an exceedingly busy day in the season-opening division clash, but his absence on a drive that ended in a missed field goal by Younghoe Koo loomed large. London also was contained to plenty of short-area work when he was in the game, with the Buccaneers naturally having plenty of experience in defending him at this point in his career.

The budding third-year pro brought his season line up to 97-1,190-7 following his Week 17 effort, cementing his status as the team's clear-cut No. 1 option.

He finished Week 16 action with five catches on eight targets for 59 yards while working with QB Michael Penix for the first time.

The third-year wideout did finish second in targets, and he's now reached at least 70 receiving yards in three of the past four games while notching double-digit targets in each of those contests.

    London secured nine of 16 targets for 86 yards and rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Falcons' 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Falcons' top pass catcher was treated as such Sunday, as London led the way in receptions and targets, with the latter figure also serving as a season high. However, the Chargers did a very effective job of keeping the speedy receiver in front of them, and he was notably the target on three of Kirk Cousins' four interceptions.

London finished with two catches for 27 yards and the score on his two targets in roughly one quarter of action. London's practice reps likely will be managed ahead of next Sunday's date with the Saints.

  • Likely dealing with hip pointer

    London is believed to have sustained a right hip pointer in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A hip pointer isn't considered a long-term injury, but if the diagnosis is confirmed when London undergoes further testing Monday, he could be at risk of missing the Falcons' Week 10 game in New Orleans next Sunday. London was forced out of the Week 9 victory in the first quarter after landing hard on his hip on a nine-yard touchdown reception.

  • Ruled out of Sunday's game

    London (hip) won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Late in the first quarter, London visited the sideline tent and eventually was deemed questionable to return. While he tested out his hip on the stationary bike in the meantime, he was deemed unable to reenter the contest at halftime. London will end Week 9 with two catches (on two targets) for 27 yards and a touchdown.

  • Limited to four catches in win

    London brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Unlike a Week 5 breakout when he posted a season-best 12-154-1 line against these same Bucs, London was limited to his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. The third-year pro also saw his six-game streak with at least six receptions snapped, and a three-game stretch with at least one receiving touchdown met the same fate. London's first chance to regroup comes in a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Finds end zone again Sunday

    London secured six of eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 34-14 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: London finished as the runner-up in receptions and receiving yards right behind Kyle Pitts while tying Darnell Mooney for second in targets as well. The third-year pro also recorded a touchdown for the third straight game on a five-yard grab midway through the third quarter and now has exactly six catches in four of his last five games. London next takes aim at a Buccaneers secondary that he posted a season-best 12-154-1 line against during a Week 6 overtime home victory.

  • Stays hot with another TD

    London had six receptions (10 targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: London followed up last week's 12-154-1 receiving line against the Buccaneers with another positive fantasy performance against another NFC South rival in Week 6. The 2022 first-round pick has now scored a touchdown in four out of his last five contests while averaging 82.6 yards per game over that stretch. Make sure to make space in your starting lineup for London ahead of next Sunday's home matchup against Seattle.

    Analysis: London led the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards on the night while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets, serving as the biggest beneficiary of Kirk Cousins' record-setting 509-yard performance. The talented third-year wideout opened the scoring on the night as well, recording an 18-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession.

However, he took a hard shot to the head area while working over the middle of the field early in the second quarter.

  • Six grabs in win over Saints

    London caught six of 12 targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout saw a season high in targets, but it didn't translate into increased production as London caught exactly six passes for the third straight game, and he's hauled in between 54 and 67 yards in all three. New Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins still seems to be adjusting to his new scheme, which has limited London's upside. The duo may need to develop better chemistry quickly ahead of a Week 5 clash with the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: London joined Bijan Robinson as the pair of young Falcons to cash in on scoring plays in a one-score loss to last year's champs. The No. 1 wideout led Atlanta in targets and yardage while grabbing the only touchdown thrown by Kirk Cousins on Sunday. London has seen his production steadily increase in each week to begin the 2024 campaign, highlighting a potential breakout in a divisional matchup when the Falcons host the Saints on Sunday.

However, the third-year wideout made his last two catches count, recording a five-yard reception that brought Atlanta down to the Eagles' seven-yard line before hauling in the game-winning touchdown two plays later.

  • Limited to three targets

    London recorded two receptions on three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: London was expected to reach a new level of production this season with a modernized offense in Atlanta and Kirk Cousins under center. However, his Week 1 performance left plenty to be desired, as he finished with fewer targets than Ray-Ray McCloud and Bijan Robinson. Cousins was uncharacteristically inefficient in his first game action in 10 months, so it's probably too early to panic.

    Analysis: London departed the morning portion of practice Friday after he experienced leg cramps and overheating. However, the wideout was able to return for the evening walkthrough, suggesting that he's clear of any concerns. Josh Kendall of The Athletic adds that London will be on the field when the Falcons practice Saturday. This year's training camp is particularly important for London as he looks to build a rapport with new starting quarterback Kirk Cousins.

    London is positioned to benefit from improved quarterback play going forward, with Kirk Cousins (Achilles) having officially inked a four-year deal worth up to $180 million with the Falcons on Wednesday.

    Analysis: London has sketched solid behind-the-scenes metrics in each of his first two pro seasons. However, while having to endure a combination of Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke under center, the 2022 first-round pick has also failed to record a 1,000-yard receiving campaign yet. He finished his rookie season with a 72-866-4 line while playing all 17 games, and 2023 with a 69-905-2 line in one less contest.

London also finished second in receptions and third in receiving yards on the afternoon, but he'll wrap up his sophomore campaign having failed to hit 50 receiving yards in three of his last four contests.

    London secured four of 10 targets for 56 yards in the Falcons' 37-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: London certainly didn't lack for opportunity while leading the team in targets by a wide margin, but he and Taylor Heinicke found chemistry elusive in the snowy environment of Soldier Field. The speedy second-year wideout has been under 60 receiving yards for three straight games, but he should have a good chance of improving on recent production if he sees a similar amount of passes come his way in a Week 18 road matchup against the Saints.

    Analysis: London had a quiet day overall but still tied for second in receptions on the afternoon for the Falcons. The speedy wideout should have a chance at a strong finish to the season now that the steadier Taylor Heinicke has taken back over for Desmond Ridder at quarterback, and he'll have a favorable matchup against the Bears' inconsistent secondary on the road in Week 17.

London now has his two least productive games since a catchless opener in the last three contests, and he'll look to bounce back against the Colts in a Week 16 home matchup on Christmas Eve.

    Analysis: London accounted for the only catch by a Falcons wide receiver in the game against New York's stout secondary. He came into Sunday's win having topped 50 receiving yards in five of his previous six appearances, so London should be more involved in Week 14 at home against a Buccaneers secondary that's been far more permissive to wide receivers.

    Analysis: London set season highs in targets, receptions and yards. Over the last two weeks, the second-year wideout has secured 15 passes for 203 yards and appears to be picking up speed after a slow start to the campaign. However, his overall production has still been inconsistent, and he faces a decent pass defense in Tampa Bay next week. As a rookie, London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during the Falcons' Week 18 win over a Buccaneers squad that was resting most of its regulars.

The second-year wideout scored only four TDs in 17 games as a rookie, so his red-zone usage early in 2023 is encouraging; however, his target volume and the erratic play of Ridder have put a firm ceiling on London's fantasy value so far.

    Analysis: London finished fourth on the team in targets and third in receiving yards. It was certainly a disappointing performance after the wideout submitted a 6-67-1 line versus Jaire Alexander and the Packers in Week 2. You can't blame this effort on Atlanta's run-heavy scheme, as Desmond Ridder attempted 38 passes. London's skill set is up there with the elite pass catchers in the NFL, but his usage hasn't been conducive to consistent production in fantasy.

    Analysis: London was a non-factor, as Atlanta leaned heavily on the run. Desmond Ridder attempted just 18 passes and was sacked four times. Kyle Pitts led the team with 44 receiving yards (two receptions), while Bijan Robinson paced the squad with six receptions (27 yards). London remains a huge part of the Falcons' offense moving forward, but fantasy managers should be aware that coach Arthur Smith isn't going to force-feed pass catchers if the running game is working like it was versus Carolina.

  • Makes acrobatic catch

    London recorded two receptions on three targets for 33 yards in Friday's 13-13 tie against the Bengals in preseason action.

    Analysis: London played for one offensive drive but still made a significant impact. The highlight of his performance came on a long third down when Desmond Ridder lofted a ball down the left sideline that London out-jumped DJ Turner to haul in. London is in line to lead the Atlanta pass-catching corps alongside Kyle Pitts when the regular season kicks off against Carolina.

    London is expected to play in next Friday's preseason game against the Bengals, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Along with the rest of the Falcons' first-team offense, London didn't suit up for Friday's exhibition opener in Miami. That script will flip in preseason Week 2 as he prepares to build off a 72-866-4 line on 117 targets from his rookie 2022 campaign.

    London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: London briefly went to the locker in the second quarter with a foot injury, but he returned to the contest and finished with a career-high 120 receiving yards during his final game of the 2022 campaign. The rookie first-round pick finished the season strong and totaled 31 receptions on 48 targets for 428 yards over the final five games, with 333 of those yards coming in four contests with Desmond Ridder at the helm.

    London recorded five receptions on eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: London finished tied for the team lead with eight targets, though that was his lowest total since Week 12. Unsurprisingly, he also recorded his lowest reception and yardage total in that span. In addition to lost volume, London was also limited to working in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 13 yards and three of his five receptions went for single-digit gains. Despite the disappointing output, London entered the game having recorded at least 70 receiving yards in…read more

    London caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: For the second straight game, London showed impressive chemistry with fellow rookie Desmond Ridder, as he led Atlanta in catches and receiving yards. London has posted a 14-166-0 line on 20 targets in two games with Ridder under center, giving the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft upside and momentum heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Cardinals.

The wideout saw double-digit targets for a second straight game and the third time during the campaign. During those contests, London has totaled 21 receptions for 251 yards and one score.

    Analysis: London was targeted on half of Marcus Mariota's 24 pass attempts and set a career high with 95 receiving yards. All six of the rookie's receptions went for at least 10 yards, including a 37-yard catch in the second quarter. With Kyle Pitts (knee) out for the year, London will look to build off his career-high performance and emerge as Atlanta's top pass-catching option moving forward.

    Analysis: London finished second on the team in receptions, targets and yards behind Olamide Zaccheaus. The rookie first-round pick continues to be limited in Atlanta's run-heavy offense, but despite Zaccheaus' breakout game, London figures to be the Falcons' go-to pass catcher in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee). London will look to bounce back against the Steelers in Week 13 before Atlanta heads into its Week 14 bye.

However, the rookie wideout saw only two targets the rest of the way and failed to secure another catch, marking his second game with one or fewer receptions.

    London brought in five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The rookie found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a tough seven-yard grab between two defenders just past the midway point of the third quarter. London still couldn't clear the 40-yard mark, however, making it four consecutive games for the first-round selection under that modest threshold.

    London brought in three of seven targets for 23 yards and lost a fumble in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: London once again put up modest numbers, but his day was all the more forgettable thanks to the rookie allowing Khalil Mack to strip the ball from him after a five-yard reception at the Chargers' six-yard line early in the third quarter. London has now failed to top 40 receiving yards in six consecutive games, an unfavorable streak he'll aim to snap in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

London is likely to see his volume tick back up moving forward -- he has at least six targets in five of seven games this season -- though he has now failed to top 40 yards in four consecutive games.

    London (knee) wasn't listed on the Falcons' first Week 6 injury report released Wednesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: London was bothered late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay by a knee issue, which caused him to limp to the sideline at one point. He's managed to avoid the injury report entirely just three days later and thus should be ready to go for a Week 6 matchup with the 49ers, who have allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game (148) but just two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through five contests this season.

The rookie's 33.9 percent target share is good for the second-best mark in the NFL, but only the Bears have attempted fewer passes than the Falcons.

    London had two receptions on seven targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Atlanta's passing game was a non-factor despite the team getting the victory, resulting in poor stat lines for London and the rest of the receiving corps. The Falcons' first-round pick from this year's draft led the team with seven targets, with no other wideout receiving more than two. London had been a reliable starting fantasy option prior to Sunday's dud, so fantasy managers should remain confident heading into a matchup against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

He wasn't targeted again until he secured a 14-yard, go-ahead touchdown at the end of the third quarter.

    London recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: London dominated targets among the Atlanta pass catchers, as Mariota recorded only 26 pass attempts for the game. London showed the ability to get open at various depths of target, highlighted by a four-yard touchdown catch and receptions that went for gains of 22 and 19 yards. London has topped 70 receiving yards in each of his first two games in the NFL and appears to have emerged as Marcus Mariota's top target in Atlanta.

The rookie first-round pick was certainly Marcus Mariota's favorite target in the season opener, leading the team in receptions, targets and yards.

The rookie first-round pick thus was limited in all three sessions and entered the weekend with a designation.
