  • Not playing Thursday

    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.

  • Sits out another practice

    London (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: London has now gone down as a non-participant for the Falcons' first two Week 15 practices. His lack of on-field work since sustaining a PCL sprain in Week 11 makes it likely that he'll miss a fourth straight game Thursday at Tampa Bay.

  • Deemed 'DNP' on practice estimate

    London (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain during Week 11 action, with coach Raheem Morris continuing to refer to the wideout as "day-to-day" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. 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.

  • Ruled out for Week 14

    London has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain Week 11. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the wideout had a chance to return for Week 14, but London never even made it back to practice and now faces a short turnaround with Atlanta playing on Thursday in Week 15.

    London (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London had a chance to play this week, but the wideout still hasn't returned to practice, making him unlikely to play Sunday against Seattle.

  • No practice yet

    London (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    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. His listing on Atlanta's injury report Friday thus will be of keen interest to see if he has a chance to return this weekend, or if the team…read more

    London (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per coach Raheem Morris, London remains day-to-day at this stage, with Morris noting Wednesday that "we will check him out. He'll be doing some running on the side." 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

  • Chance to play Week 14

    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. Playing with Kirk Cousins and at less than 100 percent would knock…read more

  • Officially out again

    London (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London hasn't practiced since suffering a PCL injury Week 11, and he's now confirmed to be out for a second straight game. 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.

  • Considered doubtful for Week 13

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    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

  • Officially ruled out

    London (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: He didn't practice at all this week, after suffering a PCL sprain toward the end of an overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday. With London out for at least one game and QB Michael Penix (knee) done for the season, Atlanta will rely on the likes of QB Kirk Cousins and WRs KhaDarel Hodge and David Sills.

  • Not expected to play Week 12

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he doesn't expect London (knee) to play Sunday versus the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Morris noted that London wants to play Week 12, but the star wide receiver remains week-to-week, per Terrin Waack of the team's official site. 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. As long as London remains sidelined, all of Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge will be positioned for expanded roles in the passing game for new starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will line…read more

    Analysis: "He could come back and feel much better," Morris said. "We just don't know." 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.

  • Expected to miss Week 12

    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.

  • Likely avoided major knee injury

    London is believed to have avoided a major knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: London suffered a knee injury late in the game and will undergo further testing Monday. 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. Starting quarterback Michael Penix also exited the loss to Carolina due to a knee injury and will undergo further testing Monday.

  • Hurts knee Sunday

    London suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Before being ruled out late in the contest, London caught seven of his nine targets for 117 yards. 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.

  • Active in Week 11

    London (illness/back) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London sat out Wednesday's practice due to an illness, and while he took part on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, a back issue was tacked on to the injury report after the first of those two sessions. A questionable designation ensued for the fourth-year pro, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that London was aiming to play Sunday, which now has been confirmed. After topping out at 55 yards receiving in a game through the first three contests of the campaign, London has…read more

  • In line to play Sunday

    London (illness/back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, plans to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    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.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    London (illness/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    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.

  • Limited in return to practice

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

    Analysis: London missed Wednesday's session due to an illness, so his return to some drills one day later is a sign of progress as the Falcons work through Week 11 prep, even if a back issue was added to the injury report. Friday's report will unveil whether or not he avoids a designation in advance of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

    Analysis: One day removed from sitting out drills due an illness Wednesday, London was back on the practice field, though in what capacity will be revealed on the Falcons' second Week 11 injury report. Since the team's Week 5 bye, he's racked up 29 catches (on 48 targets) for 422 yards and five touchdowns in four appearances.

  • Comes down with illness

    London didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    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.

  • Not spotted at practice

    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.

  • Scores three TDs in return

    London caught nine of 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: London boxed out his defender on a leaping one-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, then high-pointed the ball for a two-yard score in the second quarter and added a one-handed snag for an eight-yard touchdown in the fourth. A missed PAT after London's third touchdown catch proved to be the difference as Atlanta's comeback attempt came up short, but London showed no ill effects from the hip injury that kept him out of the Week 8 loss to 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    London (shoulder) and Darnell Mooney (shoulder) don't have injury designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

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).

The same can be said for fellow WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder), leaving the pair just one more chance to get back to full participation Friday before the team potentially hands them designations ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Atlanta will wait to make a decision on London's status for Week 2 until the coaching staff has been able to evaluate him throughout a full series of practices, but Morris' optimism at least confirms that the star wideout has avoided a severe injury.

    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. London's status for a Week 2 road matchup against the Vikings next Sunday night will remain clouded for now, but…read more

  • Getting fifth-year option

    The Falcons are exercising their fifth-year option on London's rookie contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The eighth overall pick from the 2022 Draft is now under contract through 2026, although it may not be long before he signs an extension that locks him in beyond that. London had career highs in every major counting stat last year, including 41 more targets (158) and 366 more yards (1,271) than his previous personal bests. He had just three 100-yard performances, but two of those came in the final two games after Michael Penix took over as Atlanta's starting QB. There should be plenty of volume…read more

  • Standout performance in loss

    London secured 10 of 18 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The star wideout put together a stellar effort in a game the Falcons need to win to have a chance at a playoff spot, setting a new career high in receiving yards. London comfortably led the Falcons' pass catchers across the board for the afternoon as well, and his 10 grabs vaulted him to exactly 100 receptions for the season. London also finished the 2024 campaign with a career-high nine touchdown grabs courtesy of his 20- and 21-yard scoring catches, and the chemistry he displayed with rookie…read more

  • No injury designation

    London (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, London returned to full participation Friday and should be fine for his usual workload come Sunday. The real question mark is fellow wideout Darnell Mooney, who was also added to the injury report Thursday (with a shoulder injury) and then didn't practice Friday. Mooney is listed as questionable and may end up a game-time decision.

    London was limited at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London also had some practice restrictions last week due to the same health concern, but he practiced fully to end Week 17 prep and didn't have a designation ahead of this past Sunday's game against Washington, when he hauled in seven of 13 targets for 106 yards. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he follows a similar pattern for Week 18 action.

    London hauled in seven of 13 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: London wound up recording his second-highest total in receiving yards this season despite his club falling just short of victory Sunday. 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. London will look to finish the season strong in next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Panthers.

    Analysis: London continues to operate with practice restrictions due to the hamstring issue that forced him out in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win versus the Giants. He relayed to Raimondi on Thursday that he's fine, and the injury shouldn't be a concern Sunday at Washington.

    Coach Raheem Morris said London could have re-entered Sunday's 34-7 win against the Giants after suffering a hamstring injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons had the game well in hand at the time London exited early in the fourth quarter, so the team seemingly exercised caution with its top wide receiver. He finished Week 16 action with five catches on eight targets for 59 yards while working with QB Michael Penix for the first time. With a matchup versus the Commanders next Sunday, London's health could receive some clarity when Atlanta posts its first injury report of the week Wednesday.

The talented wideout's trip to the end zone was his first since Week 9, and he was able to eclipse 50 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive contest.

    Analysis: London had a solid but relatively unspectacular afternoon despite Kirk Cousins' 344-yard tally, finishing third in receiving yards behind Darnell Mooney and the surging Ray-Ray McCloud. 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 now boasts a 20-244-1 line over the last three games heading into a Week 14 road showdown against the Vikings.

He was able to suit up in both of the team's games prior to a Week 12 bye, combining for a 11-158-0 line on 20 targets during that span.

London is firmly on pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign, racking up 649 yards through 10 games with a career-high six TDs to boot, but he faces a tough matchup on the road in Week 11 against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

    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.

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 did set a new personal best with 905 receiving yards for the season, and he could certainly enjoy his best season yet in 2024 if there is an offensive and/or quarterback upgrade in…read more

  • Quiet again in Week 17

    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.

  • Three catches in Week 16 win

    London brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Falcons' 29-10 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    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.

  • Contained in Week 15 loss

    London brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: London's day was disappointing under any context for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff games or critical late-season contests, but it was additionally alarming when considering the receiver's season-best 10-172 line on 11 targets in Week 14. 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.

    London brought in 10 of 11 targets for 172 yards in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch.

    Analysis: London led the Falcons across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with some final padding on his numbers coming in the form of a 28-yard grab on Desmond Ridder's desperation heave as time ran out. London consistently did similar damage throughout the day, bedeviling the Buccaneers' secondary with several chunk gains, including a game-long 45-yard catch.

  • Non-factor in win over Jets

    London caught one of five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.

    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.

    London brought in five of seven targets for 91 yards in the Falcons' 24-15 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: London comfortably led the Falcons in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while working with Desmond Ridder as his quarterback for a full game for the first time since Week 7. London's yardage total was his highest since Week 6 and second best of the season, but the entire Atlanta air attack faces a tough matchup against the Jets' stingy secondary on the road in Week 13.

    London caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout actually led Atlanta in receiving yards Sunday in his return from a one-game absence due to a minor groin issue while tying Kyle Pitts for the team lead in catches, as quarterbacks Taylor Heinicke (hamstring) and Desmond Ridder combined for a paltry 94 passing yards. London hasn't scored a TD since Week 4 and has topped 70 receiving yards only twice in nine games this season, but the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is still the team's biggest downfield threat.…read more

He thus has just one more chance to log some on-field work before the Falcons potentially make a ruling on his availability ahead of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

    London caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

    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.

London's catch total also tied for his best through his first five games, while his receiving yardage and targets were both season highs.

    London caught three of seven targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: After hauling in a 15-yard strike from Desmond Ridder on the Falcons' first possession of the second half, London very nearly caught a second score in the fourth quarter but couldn't get a second foot down at the back of the end zone. 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. He could have a hard time…read more

    London caught two of six targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss versus Detroit.

    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.

London beat Jaire Alexander for 22 yards on a third-and-15 in the second quarter and got the better of the All-Pro cornerback again late in the first half, securing a three-yard touchdown with just 16 seconds left.

  • Blanked in opener

    London failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    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.

All six of the rookie's receptions went for at least 10 yards, including a 37-yard catch in the second quarter.

    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.

    London (knee) caught four of seven targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, London picked up a knee issue late in the fourth quarter and appeared to limp off the field, but he never went into the injury tent. The rookie first-round pick failed to haul in his first two targets and had a 24-yard reception called back due to a holding call in the first quarter, but he caught all four of his targets in the second half, including two receptions on a touchdown drive that ended with a 19-yard pass to Olamide Zaccheaus. With Kyle Pitts…read more

  • Just two catches on seven targets

    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.

  • Catches go-ahead TD in win

    London caught three of six targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: London failed to haul in any of his three first-quarter targets, but he got on the board with a 30-yard gain to start the second quarter. He wasn't targeted again until he secured a 14-yard, go-ahead touchdown at the end of the third quarter. The rookie first-round pick garnered a secondary role to Kyle Pitts, who led the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards after a quiet start to the season. However, London still garnered a sizable role and continues to exceed expectations to start…read more

  • Making strong impression

    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.

  • Modest production in NFL debut

    London caught five of seven targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 27-26 defeat against the Saints.

    Analysis: London started slow by failing to haul in his only target in the first quarter, but he caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in the second quarter, including a 31-yard reception that set up a last-second field goal from Younghoe Koo. The rookie first-round pick was certainly Marcus Mariota's favorite target in the season opener, leading the team in receptions, targets and yards. He'll look to build off his solid start against the Rams in Week 2.

  • Cleared for pro debut

    London (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus New Orleans, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though the rookie first-round pick missed the Falcons' final two preseason games due to the knee injury and was limited in practice throughout the week, he'll be ready to take the field Sunday for his NFL debut. Despite missing ample time during his first camp with Atlanta, London enters the season listed atop the depth chart at receiver and is expected to fill a prominent role in a passing attack helmed by quarterback Marcus Mariota. London will be battling with last year's first-round pick,…read more

  • On pace to make debut Sunday

    London (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is in line to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: London picked up a knee injury in the Falcons' exhibition opener and was unable to practice again until Week 1 prep. The rookie first-round pick thus was limited in all three sessions and entered the weekend with a designation. Assuming he's deemed active roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, London will join second-year tight end Kyle Pitts as quarterback Marcus Mariota's top two receiving threats.

  • Status in question for Week 1

    London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tory McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London has been in limbo since suffering a knee injury in Atlanta's preseason opener, missing the rest of exhibition season and only returning to practice this week. Coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that the Falcons had a goal to get London through Week 1 prep before putting him through a workout Saturday, at which point the team would "make a call" on his availability. As a result, clarity on London's status could be known well ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Status coming down to Saturday

    Coach Arthur Smith said London (knee) will work out Saturday before the team makes a decision on his availability for Sunday's game against New Orleans, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The rookie was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, apparently showing enough progress to at least be a game-time decision. London presumably will be listed as questionable when the Falcons release their final injury report Friday afternoon.

  • Limited again Thursday

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

    Analysis: London continues to work himself back from a knee injury that he sustained in preseason Week 1, which kept him sidelined for the rest of the exhibition slate and off the practice field until Monday. With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt, he still has work to do in order to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Saints. As noted by coach Arthur Smith on Wednesday, the Falcons won't make a decision on London's availability until Saturday, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The…read more

    London (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The first wide receiver selected in this year's draft, London was knocked out of the Falcons' first preseason game due to a knee injury, which wasn't believed to be a serious issue at the time. Still, he didn't play again during exhibition season and only returned to the practice field Monday. Wednesday's subsequent session was in full pads, before which head coach Arthur Smith said that the Falcons won't make a decision on the rookie's availability for Week 1 versus the Saints until Saturday,…read more

  • Listed as No. 1 wideout

    London (knee) is listed as the No. 1 wideout on the Falcons' unofficial depth chart ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Notably, London was listed as a reserve on the Falcons' first unofficial depth chart at the start of training camp, but he's unsurprisingly moved to the top of the heap heading into Week 1. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft left the team's preseason opener with a knee injury after catching his lone target for 24 yards. He was sidelined for the remainder of the exhibition slate but returned to practice Monday. London's return to practice in addition to his being listed as a starter on…read more

    London (knee) was spotted at Monday's practice, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While that's a good sign that the rookie wideout is progressing, how the Falcons list London's participation level on their initial Week 1 injury report should shed added light on his chances of being ready for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Saints.

    Analysis: London has been held out of practice since Aug. 12 due to a right knee injury sustained in his first preseason appearance, but it appears that he still has a chance to suit up Week 1. Smith said, "We'll see what he looks like," when asked whether the rookie first-rounder will be available Sunday versus the Saints. Atlanta's first set of injury reports this season will shed more light on London's status.

  • Misses another practice

    London (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons haven't said much about London's injury apart from head coach Arthur Smith's statement Aug. 14, when he noted the rookie wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. London suffered the injury in the team's preseason opener Aug. 12, and he's now absent from practice for a third straight week as the calendar turns to September. It'd be a great sign for fantasy managers if London returned to practice before the team's first official injury report of the season is released next Wednesday,…read more

  • Not at practice

    London (knee) isn't practicing Monday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London hasn't practiced since he hurt his knee in Atlanta's first preseason game. He still has two weeks to prepare for the season opener against New Orleans and presumably will need to practice at least one or twice before the game to have a shot at playing.

  • Probably out Saturday

    London (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London didn't practice all week, so it's hardly a surprise to see the prized rookie not playing in an exhibition contest. The No. 8 overall selection in the 2022 Draft will have 15 days in order to get right ahead of the Falcons' Sept. 11 Week 1 opener against the Jaguars.

    London (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site, coach Arthur Smith noted last week that the right knee injury London sustained in the team's preseason opener was not a "long-term" concern. However, with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft still not practicing at this stage, it appears as though London's next chance to see game action won't arrive until the start of the upcoming regular season.

    Analysis: The report notes that the knee injury London sustained in the Falcons' preseason opener is not serious, but the rookie wideout is slated to be held out Monday for precautionary reasons. London's next chance to see game action will arrive in the team's preseason finale this coming Saturday against the Jaguars.

  • Not practicing after knee injury

    London (knee) isn't practicing Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: London took his first target for a 24-yard gain during Atlanta's preseason opener but suffered a knee injury in the process. Coach Arthur Smith said he isn't worried about it being a long-term issue, but London likely will miss some practice time and at least one preseason game. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft faces soft competition for snaps and targets, giving him a shot to enter the year as Atlanta's No. 1 wide receiver even if he doesn't practice much the next couple weeks.

  • Knee injury downplayed

    Coach Arthur Smith noted Sunday that the knee injury London suffered during Friday's preseason game against the Lions isn't something the Falcons are "concerned about long term," Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: That said, it doesn't look like the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft will be back at practice this coming week. Per Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site, whether London sees any preseason action is something that will be assessed week-to-week, but on the plus side the wideout's Week 1 status doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

  • Knee injury likely not serious

    The knee injury that London suffered during Friday's preseason victory at Detroit isn't believed to be a serious one, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: London's pro debut included a 24-yard catch and run, followed by a stay in the medical tent before the Falcons ruled him out of the contest. The decision appears to be one of precaution with his long-term health in mind, but the specific nature of the injury won't be known until Saturday, per coach Arthur Smith via Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site.

  • Clarification on injury to come

    Coach Arthur Smith didn't provide an update on London's (knee) health after Friday's preseason win at Detroit, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his early exit, London recorded a 24-yard catch and run, looking the part of a first-round pick. However, the rookie wide receiver had his right leg examined in the blue medical tent and eventually was ruled out with a knee injury. Bridget Condon of NFL Network later reported London was walking about the sideline and didn't seem to be dealing with anything too severe. Afterward, Smith relayed that the Falcons will have a better idea about London's injury Saturday, likely after he goes…read more

  • Hurts knee Friday

    Though London was forced out of Friday's preseason game against the Lions with a knee injury, NFL Network's Bridget Condon noted that the rookie wideout was subsequently spotted walking around on the sideline.

    Analysis: Per Condon, "whatever the issues is, it doesn't appear to be too serious." Though that's an encouraging initial report, London's status is nonetheless worth monitoring in the coming days. Prior to his first-quarter exit from the contest, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft caught his lone target for 24 yards.

  • Key role expected

    London is listed toward the bottom of the Falcons' unofficial posted depth chart, but Scott Bair of the team's official site notes that's an approach coach Arthur Smith typically takes with rookies at this stage of the preseason.

    Analysis: With that in mind, Bair notes that London -- who the Falcons took eighth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft -- typically works with the team's first unit during training camp practices, and has held his own against Atlanta's top cornerbacks. Bair adds that "it's fair to expect London will play a ton once the regular season begins, as a top receiver worthy of being listed first at his position." Also in the mix for wideout targets early on are the likes of Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel…read more

  • Dominating start to training camp

    London (ankle) made several highlight-worthy plays during Atlanta's training camp practice Saturday, Deen Worley of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: London broke his foot in October last year, which sidelined him for the remainder of his final campaign at USC. However, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft hasn't appeared limited at all during his offseason work with the Falcons. At 6-foot-4, London has the frame to be an elite red-zone threat, but his route running makes him a potential No. 1 WR as a rookie. While the 22-year-old holds all the talent in the world, his fantasy production will be directly correlated to how well Marcus…read more
