Drake London Injury Update: What Fantasy Owners Need to Know About Falcons WR Status Ahead of Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has continued to establish himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.

The Falcons star wide receiver had a career year last season, posting career highs in receptions (100), yards (1,271), and touchdown receptions (9.) In nine games played this season, London has recorded 60 receptions for 810 yards and six receiving touchdowns.

While it looked like he may have topped last year’s numbers, London set a setback a few weeks ago that has since left him sidelined.

What Happened to Drake London?

Drake London hurt his knee a few week’s ago in the team’s overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers reaching out for a catch. It was later revealed that London suffered a PCL sprain and the belief is that the injury wouldn’t be long term.

This is the last play he was in for just before OT and presumably when he injured his knee.
