Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been a heavily discussed player in fantasy football circles over the past few weeks. He suffered a hip injury late in the week ahead of the team’s game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. This resulted in him only being available in a limited capacity at practice last Friday. He was a game-time decision and eventually ruled out. Here is a closer look at his status ahead of Week 9.
What Happened to Drake London?
Drake London appeared on the injury report last week after suffering a hip injury late in the week. He was a limited participant in Friday’s practice. His status was not clear until shortly before the game. With so many teams on their bye weeks, many fantasy owners were desperately searching for updates ahead of Sunday’s game.

Is Drake London Playing Week 9?
As things stand, there has not been an official indication from the Atlanta Falcons about Drake London’s status beyond that he is day-to-day. He is still listed as questionable, but that could change in the coming days. As practice injury status reports start to come out on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, fans will get to see if London is practicing and in what capacity. If he is upgraded to a full participant, he will likely be available on Sunday.
Drake London Fantasy Outlook
Drake London is a fantasy option who can be started in some scenarios, but should not be a full-time starter. He has had a strong season, doing an exceptionally good job in Week 4 and 6 with 100+ yard performances. However, those are the only times has more than 55 receiving yards in a game this year.
So, if Drake London is on your roster, you can start him when the Falcons are up against weak defenses. However, if they are against strong teams, you might be better off finding another option. He has been inconsistent this year and should not be relied on as your WR1.
The Atlanta Falcons are scheduled to play the New England Patriots at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
